NASA Construction

Voyager 1 and Voyager 2, launched 30 years ago, are still transmitting data and making discoveries.

The Spirit and Opportunity Mars rovers are approaching their fourth year of operation. They were designed for an operational life of 90 days.

Sometimes stuff is built better than we know.
