Scientists were able to repair the Rover and out of “sleep mode”.
After a certain amount of time the NASA engineers managed to get the Rover out of “sleep mode” and set to work.
The incident with the device occurred July 2, but the scientists were able to establish it only the other day. It should be noted that the Mars Rover Curiosity exploration of the planet for four years. At some point, the Rover moved in the so-called safe sleep mode, by disabling necessary for the functioning of the instrument.
The scientists took time to restore the connection, which was launched only on July 7, and then they proceeded to disable “sleep mode”. At the moment the state of the Rover Curiosity can be attributed to stable, but until then, until the cause of the failure in the system will not be revealed to run it unsafe.
You also have to add that this is not the first unplanned “vacation” Rover, before he failed three times – in February, March and April 2013. Presumably, the reason for the transition into “sleep mode” may be a data mismatch that occurs between the MAHLI camera and program for processing images.
