Temperatures, power consumption, and all instrument housekeeping channels showed nominal values. First analysis of science channels shows nominal behaviour, especially all detectors in the particle telescope are alive and display characteristics identical to their performance prior to the loss of the spacecraft. No sign of adverse effects due to thermal stress during the deep freeze have been detected so far. The performance of both ERNE sensors, LED and HED, is good. HED has even improved in the sense that one of the detector leakage currents, which was slowly increasing during the flight, has now returned to its initial value.
GOLF is also back to nominal observing mode.
As it requires many hours of NRT commanding to bring the quarter-wave mechanism in the previous position, it was decided to move it to the closer position where the instrument samples the red wing of the sodium lines instead of the blue wing. A decision on the future observing configuration will be taken by the GOLF team after analysis of the data.
