Spirit rover coming back...

[ByronM]

Well, atleast back under stable debug and nasa control.

Looks like an io controller process or memory corruption error on the redundant flash memory systems.

Booting the rover into ram process and skipping out on flash seems to work well. The next issue is without flash they can't save data over night so missions would continue and just beam data before shutdown.

Glad to hear its coming back, and i wish best of luck with tonights Opportunity landing!
