After computer and software glitches, Curiosity rover healthy again
PASADENA, Calif., March 25 () -- NASA says its Mars rover Curiosity is back to doing science after recovering from a computer glitch that switched it to a redundant main computer last month.The unmanned rover has returned to monitoring the weather and has delivered a new portion of powdered-rock sample for laboratory analysis, among other activities, NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, Calif.,[url=http://www.jdebug.net]Jimmy Choo Outlet UK[/url], reported Monday."We are back to full science operations," Curiosity Deputy Project Manager Jim Erickson said.The computer glitch Feb. 28 caused engineers to switch from Curiosity's A-side computer to the redundant B-side unit, which is now controlling the rover's operations.The A-side glitch has been corrected and it is now available as the backup, JPL said.A software issue prompted Curiosity to put itself into a precautionary standby "safe mode" on March 16, but engineers said they have resolved the problem and know how to prevent it from happening again.The rover stayed on its B-side computer while it was in safe mode and remained in the configuration as science activities resumed, the laboratory said.
