Sol 212 Update On Curiosity From USGS Scientist Ken Herkenhoff: Nothing to Do

Written by Ken Herkenhoff, Planetary Geologist at USGS Astrogeology Science Center


I'm scheduled as MAHLI/MARDI uplink lead again today, but there's nothing for me to do because the engineers at JPL are still working to
recover from recent software anomalies. The latest fault
was not serious, but delayed the return to nominal science operations. The instruments have been turned on and checked out on the "B"
computer, so we are ready to go when the anomaly recovery is completed.
