...The six-wheeled rover communicated for 10 minutes at about 4:30 a.m. and transmitted "limited data" for 20 minutes about an hour later, officials said in statements early Friday. "The spacecraft sent limited data in a proper response to a ground command, and we're planning for commanding further communication sessions later today," said Pete Theisinger, rover project manager at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory. Engineers are eager to pore over data from Spirit to assess the health of the spacecraft, pinpoint any problems and allow NASA to begin working on a potential fix or fixes. Scientists planned a Friday morning news conference to explain the signals. Officials said Friday's signals were received by NASA's Deep Space Network antenna complex near Madrid, Spain... __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
