The NASA's Mars Rover Curiosity has come out of the safe mode successfully and is back to its normal surface operations. The Curiosity had been in Safe Mode since 7th November, 2013 when an un expected software reboot occurred during a communications pass with the orbiter. The Mission operations recommenced on 14th Nov., 2013.
Rajeev Joshi who is a Software and Systems Engineer for Curiiosity Mission at JPL said that they have returned to normal engineering operations. The Curiosity team was able to determine the root cause of the software root cause after analyzing the data returned by the spacecraft. An error in existing onboard software resulted in an error in a catalog file. This has caused an un expected reset when the catalog was processed by a new version of flight software which was installed on 7th Nov., 2013. The team was able to simulate the problem on the ground.
