MEXICO: The short circuit that has stalled some of the science work by NASA’s Mars rover Curiosity apparently originated in the robot’s rock-boring drill, mission team members say.
Curiosity experienced a current fluctuation on Feb. 27 while delivering some sample powder from the drill to instruments on the robot’s body. The drill sits on the rover’s 7-foot-long (2.1 meters) robotic arm. The rover hasn’t moved the arm or its six wheels since, as engineers have focused on running tests to figure out what exactly happened.
Those diagnostic tests have been productive, Curiosity Project Manager Jim Erickson, of NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California.
