A package on what happens now, focusing on getting the solar panels opened and functioning. The mission is over if the solar panels don't open correctly and work. Next are the deployments of cameras to see where exactly they are. This mission isn't expected to last more than 90 days. Spirit and Opportunity are still going because they are closer to the equator and with a lot of good luck and excellent engineering. Phoenix is so far north on Mars that it is expected to be frozen in 90 days.
