Curiosity is back on track, after being placed in “safe mode” due to a memory glitch in its A-side computer. Now scientists have activated its B-side computer on February 28th and left A-side as a back-up in case of an emergency. Curiosity now continues to investigate and test the Martian surface soil. New problems and challenges have appeared. When the Red planet is behind the sun, scientists can't connect with Curiosity. They are preparing for it by putting a moratorium (a waiting period set by an authority) in place. Scientists will then order the rover to stand-by while Mars passes behind the sun. When the Red planet reappears scientist will resume the exploration of the Mars. Curiosity will continue to test soil samples in its inner laboratories. And so the journey continues.
