WASHINGTON, USA. 4 Mar. 2015.- The National Administration of Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) announced that the space agency engineers perform an analysis to investigate a short circuit in the Rover Curiosity.
The director Curiosity Project, the Jet Propulsion Laboratory of NASA in Pasadena, California, Jim Erickson said: “We are conducting tests on the vehicle in its current configuration before moving the arm,” which “gives us the best opportunity to determine where there was a power failure. “
The Curiosity on Mars will remain motionless for several days as the investigation is made, after which came into protection mode failures last February 27.
The telemetry received indicated that there was a transient short circuit and the vehicle continued its programmed response, stopping the activity of the arm in place at the time of the irregularity.
At the time of the failure, the Rover was conducting a first step in the transfer of rock dust collected by the hole in the arm laboratory instruments within the Rover.
Refer a transitional short in some systems Rover would have little effect on the operations of Curiosity, others could lead the team to restrict the use of a mechanism
