NASA Has a Plan to Dislodge the Pebbles Stuck in Perseverance Rover - Gizmodo
Jan 18, 2022 31 secs

The rover sent data to Earth indicating there was more resistance in the sample’s transition than expected, and when the NASA team got images of the issue, they realized that bits of the rock sample had fallen out of the tube and onto the bit carousel.

(The rover is capable of functioning despite these jam-ups, but as the machine is still relatively new on Mars, NASA wants to treat the machinery as nicely as they can.) So a plan was drafted to get the little Martian pebbles out of Perseverance’s guts.

The team is rotating the bit carousel to shake the pebbles loose.
