Opportunity Mars Rover Targeted For Launch No Earlier Than July 7

The second Mars Exploration Rover, Opportunity, is now targeted for
launch no earlier than Monday, July 7. The delay is due to the failure
of a battery cell associated with a component of the launch vehicle's
flight termination system. The battery must be removed and replaced.

Power glitch hits Mars Express, but mission should be OK: ESA

PARIS (AFP) Jul 02, 2003

Europe's first solo mission to Mars has been hit by a 30-percent
shortfall in power, but this should not affect any of its goals, the
European Space Agency (ESA) here said Wednesday.

Ground engineers checking out the Mars Express as it heads towards the
Red Planet came across a faulty connection between its solar wings and a
unit that distributes the electricity generated by those panels, ESA
said in a mission update.
