Mars spacecraft bounces back from computer glitch

Artist's concept of NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter passing over the planet's south polar region. Phobos, one of Mars' two moons, appears in the upper left corner. MRO just bounced back from a computer glitch, which had caused the craft to go into standby mode for the fifth time in the last two years. A powerful NASA spacecraft around Mars has bounced back yet again Saturday, resuming its study of the Red Planet three days after a recurring computer glitch temporarily waylaid its mission.
