I am starting a new thread for this mission which should fly this year.

I wonder if they still have enough control to do minor trajectory corrections.
Because in this case, maybe they could "choose" if the probe impacts the Moon, falls back on Earth, remains in a high orbit around Earth, or enters into orbit around the Sun. I'm also not sure which one of these options would be the most desirable. (Thinking in particular what should happen to the ash they have on board.) Thorsten |
