Spirit project manager Pete Theisinger told reporters there is a "very serious anomaly" in communicating with the robot and the last exchange of information scientists had with the craft was Wednesday morning. Researchers continued attempting to contact the six-wheeled rover and remained hopeful that the problem could be resolved. Scientists initially thought a storm in Australia was keeping them from sending signals to instruct the Spirit rover to drill into a Mars rock. But on Thursday, the problem appeared to be more serious than a passing storm. The six-wheeled Spirit has sent dozens of highly-detailed pictures of the red planet's landscape since landing in Gusev crater on January 3 for a mission that was expected to last around 90 days.
