Good Night Oppy Trailer: Mars Exploration Doc Follows a Rover to the Red Planet – IMDb

Ryan Whites documentary Good Night Oppy tells the inspirational true story of Opportunity, a rover sent to Mars for a 90-day mission in 2003 that ended up surviving for 15 years. Per an official synopsis, the film follows Opportunitys groundbreaking journey on Mars and the remarkable bond forged between a robot and her humans millions of miles away. Watch the trailer below.

Angela Bassett narrates the documentary about the rover that outlasted its estimated survival date by more than 60 times. The rover was initially launched into space in 2003 to look for ancient water on Mars; it died in 2019 on the Red Planet after discovering that Mars stayed wet for an extended period and that conditions could have been suitable for sustaining microbial life, per NASAs website. Its twin rover Spirit was active on Mars until 2010.
