Engineers at NASA are continuing work on the CAPSTONE satellite, currently traveling on its way to an experimental orbit around the moon, which went into safe mode earlier this month following a trajectory correction maneuver. Progress has been made in learning what the issue was, but the satellite is not yet back to fully operational.
The good news is that there seems to be enough power available for the propulsion system to maintain its temperature for now. “Over the past few days, CAPSTONE’s power – though limited by the orientation of the spacecraft in its spin relative to the sun – appears to be sufficient for heating of the propulsion system,” NASA writes.
