Isn’t there a way to build in that could possibly clean the solar panels in these cases? Mechanical or maybe a blow of air? I understand it is yet one thing that could go wrong, but if you get 6-12 more months or something like that, wouldn’t it be worth it? #insight #nasa #nasainsight https://www.theverge.com/2022/12/21/23521050/nasa-insight-mars-lander-marsquake

Saying goodbye to InSight. Over a thousand days and over a thousand Marsquakes later, InSight's successful mission is over. #NASAInSight

@astroptere Thank you for all the hard work, Greg and InSight team at JPL/NASA. We learned so much about Mars thanks to our little lander that could. All the love to you all. ❤️🥹 #InSight #NASAInSight #Mars

This might be it. The end.

"On Dec. 18, 2022, #NASAInSight did not respond to communications from #Earth.
[...]
The mission will continue to try and contact #InSight."

I’m sad the #marslander said goodbye today #nasainsight - I guess he never got to experience the exodus to here. when I go out, some people should expect an odd delivery and maybe a skywriter saying something surprising. https://www.cnet.com/google-amp/news/nasas-insight-mars-lander-is-dying-this-may-be-its-last-image/

"My power’s really low, so this may be the last image I can send. Don’t worry about me though: my time here has been both productive and serene. If I can keep talking to my mission team, I will – but I’ll be signing off here soon. Thanks for staying with me." - #NASAInSight

Must. Not. Anthropomorphize the #Space rovers. 😭 I just watched "Goodnight Oppy" recently, too. https://kotaku.com/nasa-insight-rover-mars-sad-tweet-rip-goodbye-esa-1849913028
