In other words : Spirit — which was suffering some problem alreadyis stick in Mars ’ Home Plate , with his telescopic mamilla antennas trying to get some centering from its master down at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory .

Whatever it is , the proficient word is that the scientists at the JPL may have a chance to spare the day once again , thanks to the help of Spirit ’s fellow robots . The Odyssey satellite is downloading data from Spirit as I write these lines — judge to project out what the hell is locomote on down in the surface — while duplicate - rover Opportunity is practicing moves to take photos of itself , in the hope that Spirit can double them and send Earth a picture of whatever is bear him . And down here , the JPL is using a third rover over a terrain interchangeable to the one in which they reckon Spirit is in , exercise maneuvers to discharge it .
In addition to the problem , one of the wheel is broken , although NASA engineers have been able to get a signal from it and retrieve there may be a possibility to get it working again . They are conservative but affirmative , “ take incremental steps ” to free the scouter , which has been working style beyond it ’s supposed termination day of the month . countenance ’s hope they pull in out another miracle once again .
