POT announced that it was able to solve the problems associated with solar panels Lucyhis spacecraft to study the Trojan asteroids.
When it launched last year, one of its solar panels couldn’t open, and its operators on Earth have been trying to fix it ever since. Luckily, after several months of trying, they managed to fix the problem.
NASA and Lucy, problem of the months
After seven attempts, the engineers Lucy They were able to open the solar panel to 350°, which is very close to the 360° required for the probe to work.
“We have an incredibly talented team, but it was important to give them time to understand what happened and how to move forward,” Hal Levison, principal investigator Lucy of the Southwestern Research Institute, said in a statement. “Fortunately, the spacecraft was where it was supposed to be, normal and safe.”
After analyzing the risks of the mission and testing the replica on our planet, POT decided to maneuver on the panels Lucy 60 million miles
“Although the panels are not fully deployed, they are subjected to significantly more stress, making them stable enough for the spacecraft to operate properly,” the report explains. POT this is a statement.
Lucy in space
Lucy, Launched into space in October 2021, this craft aims to study the Trojan asteroids, those rocky bodies that follow Jupiter in its orbit.
Since it was powered by solar panels, the fact that one of them could not be deployed worried scientists, who did not believe that the probe could continue without it.
