Second Ion Thruster Checkout Completed Successfully
October 22 - 26 The mission operations team completed the checkout of a second ion thruster this week. In one of the tests, the thruster was operated for 27 hours continuously at 5 different throttle levels, and in two other tests it was operated at maximum power for 4 hours each time. All spacecraft systems performed extremely well. -------------------- Free software for planetary science (including Cassini Image Viewer).
