The dust storm on Mars is continuing as a Planet-encircling Dust Event (PEDE) with no indication of receding at this time.

Again, since the last contact with the rover on Sol 5111 (June 10, 2018), it is likely that Opportunity has experienced a low-power fault, putting herself to sleep only to wake when the skies eventually clear.

Also, if the atmospheric opacity or the solar array dust factor has gotten worse since the last contact, Opportunity could also experience a mission clock fault.

The project is listening every day for the rover during both the time of low-power fault communication windows and listening over a broader range of times under mission clock fault.

Additionally, for the near term, the project is also sending a command to elicit a beep if the rover happens to be awake.

The team does not expect to hear anything from Opportunity until there has been a significant reduction in the storm and the associated atmospheric opacity over the rover site.

Total odometry is 28.06 miles (45.16 kilometers).
