Opportunity was launched in 2003 with an estimate of 90 solar days (Mars days), but it worked for almost 15 years exploring the surface of Mars. He traveled more than 45 kilometers through the desert landscapes of the Red Planet, studied geological rocks, and sent thousands of photographs to Earth.

Opportunity's "selfie" captured itself - dusty but still working. This is a composite image composed of photographs taken by its manipulator. Behind the rover's shoulders lies the endless Martian desert. The surface of the apparatus is covered with red dust, which emphasizes the harsh conditions in which he worked.

The photo was taken shortly before a huge dust storm covered Mars in 2018. The Opportunity panels stopped receiving sunlight, and the rocket fell silent forever. NASA has been trying to restore communication for 8 months, but unsuccessfully.
