NASA's longest-serving Mars spacecraft are still operating decades after arrival, and a new Wired report explains how engineers keep them alive. The piece details the workarounds, aging hardware fixes and fuel management that allow the veteran orbiters and rovers to keep returning science data well past their planned lifetimes.
Why now: Interest in the engineering tricks that keep decades-old Mars missions working far beyond their design lifetimes.
