MER 2 will launch a minimum of ten days after MER 1, which NASA has now had to push back to no sooner than June 1 due to issues with the electronics interconnecting the rover, cruise stage and entry stage.
This summer, Mars will be at its closest approach to Earth than ever before in recorded history. Dust off those telescopes, boys and girls, 'cause we're in for a show this summer!
