    NASA is debating whether to fix a jammed solar panel on its newly launched Lucy spacecraft, on its way to explore a number of asteroids. The flight has not been affected so far and everything else on the spacecraft is working properly.http://apne.ws/khhtEnC

        @NASA I haven’t seen a diagram of how it is currently jammed; but would there be enough pressure from the solar wind if you oriented the craft at a good angle to make the panel act as a sail and possibly unjam it? Would ‘braking’ it using the RCS in the opposite direction help?

        The issue is that it’s stuck, so in order to extend it they would essentially have to break something. If they’re getting 85-95% power that’s likely plenty for the mission. Main concern is that it will close more at a later point so that’s what they’re probably investigating

        Send Amos out with a spanner. He'll get it sorted.

        Возможно к нему можно пристыковать другой и система заработает... Думаю такие ситуации надо планировать...pic.twitter.com/G2AX0GomV6

        If you haven’t heard about this mission yet go watch some YouTube videos on it. Super cool. Hopefully they can get the power issue worked out and keep the mission online as planned
