Default Mars Rover longevity again limited by dust build-up

There is lots of other things that lessen the lifespan of rover, one of
the absolutely unpassable (with solar panels that is) obstacle is the
Mars winter, no sun no power. The electronics will break up when they
cannot be kept in stable warmth with electricity.


What winter, al the rovers are near the equator. Mars isn't tilted so
badly like Uranus.
