I just heard that Odyssey went into safe mode on Saturday. I haven't seen any official announcement yet.
One result is that MER is having to replan using direct to earth only. Current estimate is that Odyssey will not be able to support UHF relay until "mid-week at the earliest". |

I've done some extensive Googling, and can't find a single reference to Odyssey going into safe mode this last week. Nothing whatsoever at any of the NASA or JPL websites. The only thing Google picks up on search phrases "Odyssey" and "safe mode" are articles on the spacecraft being affected by the huge solar flares of a couple of years ago.
So, 1) does anyone know the real story and what the Odyssey team thinks might have happened, and 2) why the heck isn't *anyone* reporting on this? -the other Doug -------------------- “The trouble ain't that there is too many fools, but that the lightning ain't distributed right.” -Mark Twain

I'm wondering the same thing as you. |
