Word from ground controllers is that the Opportunity Mars rover is in good health after communication blackout.
The Earth-Mars Solar Conjunction command moratorium and communication blackout has ended. Telemetry is again being received from Opportunity. Normal tactical planning has resumed with the Sol 4059 (June 25, 2015) plan.
Opportunity is on the west rim of Endeavour Crater at the “Spirit of St. Louis” crater near the entrance of “Marathon Valley.”
