You know that feeling you get when a piece of technology just isn’t working like it should, but you can’t find the cause? Whether it’s your TV remote or your smartphone, it’s incredibly frustrating. Now imagine that same feeling, only multiplied by 33 million miles and you’ll have a vague idea of what NASA’s Curiosity team is currently feeling.
As NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory explains in a new post, the Curiosity rover experienced a bit of a “hiccup” at the end of last week. The robot entered a default “safe mode” which it does when something goes wrong. Engineers performed a reset of the rover after gathering some diagnostic info and it’s back up and running, but the cause of the glitch remains a mystery.
