*...the ion drive has been "nominally" restarted. QUOTE The EP power is being set to 1325W due to the Sun distance seasonal effect. QUOTE The EP operations are planned to last until mid September assuming simulator behaviour. The second half of September has been reserved for possible special operations in case the engine does not behave as expected. Also lists future activities and gives a rundown on status. All is well, it seems. Includes photo of the ion drive and its "exhaust." |
