      We may see it again in a few years if the rover returns to the crater to drop off the rest of its sample tubes. The Heli’s computer has been reconfigured to monitor temperature, solar charge rates and battery condition. There’s enough memory space for 10 years worth of data, but no one knows how long it will be able to collect that data for. Some here may still be around when that data is retrieved :)
