High-Gain Antenna Test is Complete

[SDO]

SDO completed the Failed High-Gain Antenna Simulation and rolled back to its normal orientation at 1900 UTC (3:00 p.m. ET) last Wednesday. Here is a short video using the Where's SDO? images showing that day in the life of SDO. Watch the Z-axis for the flip.


Many thanks to the FOT and instrument team member who planned and executed this test. We learned a lot!

Thanks for keeping us informed about the tools and instruments that deliver the needed scientific information.
Now we are not only dependent on speculations or bad observations.
However, interpretation of the real data is another story.
