Onboard tests of the software after the failure on November 17 showed the predicted behaviour. Operational experience so far indicates that all systems are working well and that we can acquire all targets. There are also occasional short period losses of attitude which are under investigation, too. From December 5 onwards we will go back towards a 5 degree half angle sun cone. We will then try to insert a few observations with a larger sun angle and investigate the stability of the attitude system in order to find out which maximum sun angle is acceptable for safe operations.
All current timelines allow slews to be performed only on the day side.
This will also apply to the next long term timeline.
