Oops it did it again! December 14, 2006

Posted by spacemom in : She Blinded me with Science , trackback

Sigh, the telescope went in a safe mode last night. As expected. The sun let off another solar flare and the space radiation levels are too high for us to operate. Unfortunately, my instrument was in the process of taking some calibration data and the onboard computer for the instrument crashed.

We reload the software tonight and restart the instrument at the next communication pass with the telescope.

Sigh..

And I thought this was a nice quiet week!
HA!
