Re: Spirt and Opportunity Mission Thread
Spirit was suppost to drive about 20 meters today towards an impact crater, but instead it imaged the RATed hole with the PANcam and MiniTES. Apparently, back when Spirit first malfunctioned with the RAM problem, a hold was placed on driving, and engineers never reset that trip.

Teams here can learn from this! If you open the bleed valve for the compressor to lower an arm after a match, make sure you close it! Same goes for other switches on your control board, if things are in funny places, then unexpected things happen. Unexpected things tend to be bad.
