Many of the mirror panics that were experienced in the past two months were traced to a stressed signal cable. Since its repair, the mirror support system has been much more robust, though not without problems.
Individual actuators continue to experience failures.
These are being diagnosed and repaired as they occur. The spare hardpoint is being re-assembled. It was noted that it did not yet have all the modifications made to it that the six in-service hardpoints have had. Assembly will stop until these have been carried out. It was noted that the spare hardpoint stepper has been tested at higher speeds than the maximum rate in use on the other six.
