Us: curiosity Rover returns to safety mode and strikes again!

On March 11, NASA sent two patches for curiosity Rover to make it work again. But now the little guy is in trouble again and is back in 'safe mode'. This time, the problem is caused by a software file error.

NASA project staff said that the reason for curiosity to start 'safe mode' has been identified, which is due to the wrong file size detection. According to reports, curiosity's main computer system, which had a flash memory failure before, entered the working mode again with the help of the patch program. Therefore, curiosity needs to restore the data stored in the backup computer system to the main computer system. In this process, file volume detection errors occurred, resulting in the failure of switching between the two computer systems So curiosity actively entered "safe mode" for its own protection.

However, Richard cook, who is in charge of curiosity project, said: "this fault is not a problem at all for curiosity. We just need to delete the error file manually. At the same time, we have also worked out a way to prevent this situation from happening again. '
