The Mar's rover Curiosity has experienced software glitches in which they believe from radiation. Curiosity has two computers know as A and B. Curiosity is now being switched to side B as engineers troubleshoot side A.
Side A has been used since the start of the mission. Engineers are planning to uses side B's memory to fix side A's. They hope these problems wont come up again because they want to Curiosity to last for 2 years or possibly longer depending on the funding and health of the rover.
