Thanks for posting all the details here, @xeni. I watch the artist’s rendition of the last moments of the craft and I feel a huge sadness inside me. This robot has been one heck of a workhorse, what a success it has been. I tip my hat to all who made it happen, thank you for all the wonderful images, science and discoveries over the years.
