-Short Attention Span Theater-
Rover makes short contact
2004-01-23
The US Spirit Mars rover communicated with Earth for 10 minutes overnight, one day after suffering a serious breakdown that cut off communication. The AFP news agency reports that data sent by the rover was captured by one of the antennas of the international Deep Space Network near Madrid, Spain. Spirit had been refusing to speak to Earth, transmitting only a short beep to indicate it was still alive. The vehicle was about to drill into a rock when the breakdown occurred.

Down, but not out.
