Curiosity rover suffers glitch

A very minor case of serious brain damage

Nasa's Curiosity Mars rover has been put into "safe mode" after a computer glitch caused by corrupted files.

The robot, which is analysing rock samples on the Red Planet, is now running from a back-up computer.

Nasa engineers are looking into possible causes for the files on the robot's flash memory being damaged.

The fault means the rover's work has been put on temporary hold while the back-up computer is reconfigured so it can take full control.




Good luck to them. Let's hope they can get everything fixed and continue with their mission :) .
