Oct 22, 2020 at 19:13 comment added Schwern Keep in mind they're not meant to last long enough to need maintenance. The primary mission of Spirit and Opportunity was just 90 days. They lasted 6 and 14 years. Based on that, Curiosity got 2 years and is still going 9 years later. Perseverence's primary mission is also 2 years.

Oct 22, 2020 at 10:43 comment added uhoh It's been suggested... Brushing clean a Mars lander's solar panels and Curiosity is still dirty! How will the ExoMARS Rover keep its solar panels dust-free and collecting sufficient power?
Oct 22, 2020 at 9:36 comment added Uwe If there is no communication with Earth for a long time there is a special software for recovering the communication. But that is no maintenance.
Oct 22, 2020 at 9:35 comment added Polar Bear @GdD but there can be robotic "hands" or extensions who can self support that?
Oct 22, 2020 at 9:31 comment added GdD Hardware maintenance requires physical access....
