The rover is now located at the Red Planet's Lake Orcadie, a site where NASA has been tried to drill into the gray rock.
The rover 's instrument did not make it easy
On Tuesday, Curiosity made a 60-meter trip to this site.
With this latest drive, the Curiosity mission is back to business, NASA said in a statement, adding that the next drilling event will take place some tim e later this week.
"At this point, we're going to be back to full operations, but it's too early to say how soon," said Steven Lee of JPL, Curiosity's deputy project manager.

"We Are Operating on a Side of the Data. root cause of the issue and motto workarounds for the memory on B. Side
The computer swap will allow data and event records to be stored on the Side-A computer. and preparing it for the swap, "Lee said. [19659] 004] "It's certainly possible to run the mission on the Side-A computer if we really need to. But our plan is to switch back to Side as soon as we can fix the problem to use their larger memory size. "
