The Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter, which put itself into safe mode on August 26 for the fourth time this year, will be kept in safe mode for several weeks as engineers work to find a permanent solution.
MRO is the most powerful probe to ever orbit Mars, and has returned more data and images than all other missions combined.
NASA expects MRO to go back to delivering that data and those images after the problem is resolved.
