Joint 1 in Opportunity's robotic arm, the joint that controls left-right motion, stalled during the acquisition of microscopic images of the unground surface of Smith2. Smith2 is a new rock target found while Opportunity was spending time conducting studies of rocks that circumvent "Victoria Carter". After the stall, the rover acquired information about the atmosphere rather than the rock target with the alpha-particle X-ray spectrometer.
