Robot on Mars paralyzed hand
The investigator of Mars, the Curiosity apparatus, had to temporarily stop its work after a short circuit.
The problems were found in the rover’s robotic arm when the rover was going to transport rock samples after drilling.
At the moment, NASA experts determine the causes of failure. They are going to fix it in a couple of days. Engineers stressed that there is no reason to worry about the future of Curiosity.
The key task of Curiosity is to collect data on whether conditions on any life forms have ever been on Mars. After examining the samples taken by the rover in the area of Yellowknife, in the crater of Gail, the scientists declared the possibility of life. In addition, the data collected by the device indicate the existence of organic matter on Mars and the presence of water vapor in heated soil samples.
