Opportunity: Perbedaan antara revisi

'''MER-B''' ('''Mars Exploration Rover - B'''), juga disebut '''''Opportunity''''', adalah misi eksplorasi [[Mars]] [[NASA]] dengan [[rover]]. MER-B berhasil mendarat di [[Meridiani Planum]] pada tanggal [[25 Januari]] [[2004]] pukul 05:05 [[Ground UTC]] (''circa'' 13:15 waktu setempat), tiga minggu setelah kembarannya, ''[[Spirit (wahana penjelajah)|Spirit]]'' (MER-A) mendarat di sisi lain planet.{{Infobox spaceflight
