Stole it from ATOT, but I found it to be repost-worthy for our TeAm of S@H Space Explorers!

90 days on Mars, and still functioning well. What an accomplishment!
 
Sol 94, which ends at 8:37 p.m. PST on April 8, will be the beginning of the four-sol flight software upload. Before rover operators begin loading the updated software, they will command Spirit to perform a sunrise imaging operation. The flight software update will continue through sol 97 with a rover reboot on sol 98, Monday April 12.

Now THAT'S what I call a remote update! :Q 😀
 
Rumour that I heard was they had a Martian contracted out to push the button if the reboot locked the CPU up. But I'm not sure about that.
