NASA’s TESS (Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite) has actually gone back to work after science observations were suspended on April 8, when the spacecraft participated in safe mode. All instruments are powered on and, following the effective download of formerly gathered science information kept in the objective’s recorder, are now making brand-new science observations.
Analysis of what set off the satellite to get in safe mode is continuous.
NASA’s TESS (Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite) participated in safe mode April 8, momentarily disrupting science observations. The group is examining the origin of the safe mode, which took place throughout arranged engineering activities. The satellite itself stays in great health.
The group will continue examining the problem and remains in the procedure of returning TESS to science observations in the coming days.
The TESS objective is a NASA Astrophysics Explorer run by MIT in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Introduced in 2018, TESS has actually been scanning nearly the whole sky trying to find worlds beyond our planetary system, called exoplanets. The TESS objective has likewise exposed other cosmic phenomena, consisting ofstar-shredding great voidsandexcellent oscillationsFind out more about TESS discoveries atnasa.gov/ tess
