Spirit re-booted itself twice over the April 11-12 weekend for no reason, rover is in automode , batts are charged and temps and solar arrays are within allowable ranges...One computer reset occured while operation of the hi-gain antenna was in progress.Software updates are bseng examined but Oppy has the same and is operating normally .
Is computer old age setting in on Spirit?
