rashore Posted February 26, 2019 #1 Share Posted February 26, 2019 Quote Feb. 25 (UPI) -- Curiosity is taking a hiatus from its scientific mission, according to the rover's most recent Twitter update. Last week, its computer rebooted without warning. Now, NASA engineers are trying to figure out what caused the unprompted restart. During the reboot, a glitch caused the spacecraft's computer to go into safe mode. Scientists have since awoken the rover from safe mode, but are slowly bringing Curiosity back online. https://www.upi.com/NASA-engineers-are-investigating-Curiosity-probes-computer-reset/8471551116015/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By the way the article reads, I think it suddenly just rebooted itself, then switched itself to safe mode, then NASA woke it up from safe mode.. or maybe trying to wake it up safely? might be a better description for what's going on. I'm not as savvy on the space stuff as some other folks here, so someone else might give a better explanation for what's going on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
