The vehicle was transferred from the A-side computer to the B-side computer by NASA engineers on February 28 in response to a memory failure in the A-side computer. A third party computer is now available as a backup if required.
The Mars rover Curiosity has returned to normal activity and is on its way to resuming scientific investigation. This is after two days in standby mode or what is known in computer parlance as "safe mode".
The next step will include checking the vehicle's activity computer, (XNUMXnd party computer), using commands that will allow it to move the arm freely. The second-party computer is the one that provided information last week about the location of the vehicle's robotic arm that was recently activated by the backup computer - the first-party computer.
The vehicle was transferred from the A-side computer to the B-side computer by NASA engineers on February 28 in response to a memory failure in the A-side computer. A third party computer is now available as a backup if required. "We expect to return to testing the scientific samples by the end of the week," says Curiosity mission manager Jennifer Trusper of NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California. The engineers easily identified the software problem that caused the safe mode on March 16 and know how to prevent it from happening again.
Other activities will include preparing to cease transmitting commands to Curiosity during most of April when Mars will pass directly behind the Sun from Earth's perspective. This break is done as a protection against the possibility that the sun will disrupt commands sent to the vehicle.
The Curiosity vehicle contains 10 scientific instruments to study the history of Gale Crater, a place where there were conditions for the existence of water that could allow life at the bacterial level.

This was the requirement of the rabbi of Nasa
A dairy computer and a meat computer
What we are not told is why he was in "safe mode".
One of the aliens there restarted it in an unorganized way and then it went into "safe mode".
What is certain - in Linux this would not have happened.
They would have given the management of the project to Israel and then they would have made sure that this space vehicle would also have third-party insurance. The Americans wanted to save a few dollars and only did side A and B
And why are we only being told now? How about a little drama?
