Sol 778, October 13, 2014, update from USGS Scientist Lauren Edgar: “Over the weekend, Curiosity was supposed to perform a number of MAHLI activities to image the drill hole and the target Morrison, along with APXS on Morrison, but unfortunately an arm fault occurred during the observation of the drill hole. This left MAHLI with its cover open. Fortunately, some JPL engineers came in on Saturday to make a recovery plan and successfully closed the MAHLI cover.” [More at link]
