@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

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
