Mars Opportunity Rover is at an end after almost 15 years exploring the surface of Mars

Designed to last just 90 Martian days, here's a look at this record-setting mission.

Designed to last just 90 Martian days and travel 1,100 yards (1,000 meters), Opportunity vastly surpassed all expectations in its endurance, scientific value and longevity. In addition to exceeding its life expectancy by 60 times, the rover traveled more than 28 miles (45 kilometers) by the time it reached its most appropriate final resting spot on Mars – Perseverance Valley.
