More Ion Thrusting Tests Completed
November 12 - 16 The week-long systems test of interplanetary cruise thrusting completed successfully on Monday. The third ion thruster was tested this week, and like the other two, it performed perfectly. The thruster operated at 4 throttle levels, including full power. In a separate activity, the mission operations team powered off the reaction wheels to test pointing control with hydrazine thrusters during ion thrusting. -------------------- Free software for planetary science (including Cassini Image Viewer).
