Curiosity update, sols 1548-1599: Serious drill brake problem as Curiosity
drives through Murray red beds

Since my last update, the Curiosity mission has developed a better
understanding of the problem that prevented them from drilling at
Precipice, but its intermittent nature has slowed the development of a
workable solution that will allow them to use the drill again. In the
meantime, the rover has driven onward, making good use of its other
instruments.
