NASA engineers have restored SHERLOC instrument of the Perseverance Mars rover to operation.
The instrument is mounted on the rover's arm and uses two cameras and a laser spectrometer to hunt for organic compounds and minerals in rocks.
Finding signs of these markers might point to evidence of past microbial life on the Red Planet .
The problem stemmed from a malfunction in the motor that both moves the lens cover and adjusts the focus for the instrument and one of the cameras.
