Why do mars robots die becouse of dust on solar panels?

250 views

For me it seems strange that a 200Mlj Mars robot (like Insight,etc) meet the end of life becouse of dust on solar panels. Why they aren’t equiped with some kind of vibration mechanism or windshield wiper-similar thech to deal with a problem? This seems to me like WTF?

“Maintenance” there isnt a “maintenance guy” to fix it. Just like infrastructure. If humans do not maintain infrastructure, everything would fall apart fairly quick.
