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 (MER-A) mendarat di sisi lain planet.

Opportunity, also known as MER-B (Mars Exploration Rover – B) or MER-1, and nicknamed "Oppy",[8][9] is a robotic rover that was active on Mars from 2004 to late 2018.[2] Launched on July 7, 2003, as part of NASA's Mars Exploration Rover program, it landed in Meridiani Planum on January 25, 2004, three weeks after its twin Spirit (MER-A) touched down on the other side of the planet.[10] With a planned 90-sol duration of activity (slightly more than 90 Earth days), Spirit functioned until it got stuck in 2009 and ceased communications in 2010, while Opportunity was able to stay operational for 5111 sols after landing, maintaining its power and key systems through continual recharging of its batteries using solar power, and hibernating during events such as dust storms to save power. This careful operation allowed Opportunity to exceed its operating plan by 14 tahun, 46 hari (in Earth time), 55 times its designed lifespan. By June 10, 2018, when it last contacted NASA,[11][12] the rover had traveled a distance of 4.516 kilometer (2.806 mil).[7]
Mission highlights included the initial 90-sol mission, finding extramartian meteorites such as Heat Shield Rock (Meridiani Planum meteorite), and over two years of exploring and studying Victoria crater. The rover survived moderate dust storms and in 2011 reached Endeavour crater, which has been described as a "second landing site".[13] The Opportunity mission is considered one of NASA's most successful ventures.[14]
Due to the planetary 2018 dust storm on Mars, Opportunity ceased communications on June 10 and entered hibernation on June 12, 2018. It was hoped it would reboot once the weather cleared,[15] but it did not, suggesting either a catastrophic failure or that a layer of dust had covered its solar panels. NASA hoped to re-establish contact with the rover, citing a windy period that could potentially clean off its solar panels.[16] On February 13, 2019, NASA officials declared that the Opportunity mission was complete, after the spacecraft had failed to respond to over 1,000 signals sent since August 2018.[17]
Pensiun
Opportunity pensiun setelah 15 tahun berkelana di Mars. Robot tersebut telah berkelana sejauh hampir 45 kilometer.
Pada 10 Juni 2018, Opportunity hilang kontak karena Badai Debu Global 2018 di planet Mars dan memasuki masa hibernasi pada 12 Juni 2018 dengan harapan bisa di nyalakan ulang saat cuaca membaik. Setelah badai pasir menghilang Nasa tidak bisa mengontak Opportunity. Pada 13 Februari 2019, Nasa menyatakan misi Opportunity tercapai setelah wahana gagal merespon lebih dari 1000 sinyal yang dikirimkan sejak bulan Agustus 2018
