NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter has once again had a computer glitch. As reported in this blog, MRO had computer problems in February and June, as well. This time, the probe has put its main computer in safe mode and switched operations to its backup system.
Engineers are confident they can fix the problem and get MRO back to doing science shortly, but the bigger question surely is why the computer keeps spitting its silicon bit. So far, NASA is stumped.
