No new data or images over the last few sols.
This is a reminder to the science team that operating Curiosity, over 55 million km away from Earth, must cause challenges to the continuous operation of rover systems. Part of the memory on Curiosity’s computer malfunctioned. The memory has in built redundancy, another part of the memory could be used but we dont want to have to fall back on that. We should be back to normal tactical operations over the next few sols with a repaired memory.
