After a tough period, NASA got some good news from Mars. As expected, engineers have been successful in bringing the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter out of safe mode. MRO's computer put itself into safe mode a few days ago. Engineers believe it was struck by a cosmic ray or a charged solar particle. MRO is now back to reconnoitering.
That still leaves the Spirit rover held fast by a patch of soft Martian soil. NASA continues to work that problem. In the meantime, the other rover, Opportunity, is still functioning well, and the orbital assets are back at full strength.
