Any luck with the latest attempts to get MGS talking?

First, they were going to attempt to photograph MGS with MRO -- but left the date out of the announcement. Then when MRO missed, they were going to have MGS turn on a beacon and see if a MER could detect it. That was the last I knew.<br /><br />On a related note, does MGS have any preprogrammed instructions if it finds itself about to runout of power due to solar panel failure? One possibility (inspired by the junk over our heads) would be to have it deorbit itself. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <hr style="margin-top:0.5em;margin-bottom:0.5em" />Will Pittenger<hr style="margin-top:0.5em;margin-bottom:0.5em" />Add this user box to your Wikipedia User Page to show your support for the SDC forums: <div style="margin-left:1em">{{User:Will Pittenger/User Boxes/Space.com Account}}</div> </div>
