Technical Issues Plague NASA Mars Rover, Spirit

NASA has come out and stated that they are going to continue to try and work to see why technical issues continue to plague the progress of the Spirit rover.

The Spirit rover has been having a hard time reporting back to Earth what it has been doing up on Mars.

This has sparked a lot of concern for NASA as they are losing some control over the rover.

NASA reported on Sunday that during its 1,800th Martian day up on the planet, the rover did not move after it received its orders.

It is also showing other erratic behavior such as memory problems, power issues, etc.

NASA continues to work and troubleshoot the Mars rover and work to get it to follow commands.

There is still no confirmation as of yet though as to what is causing the issues.
