official news from : https://bit.ly/2QkyIbY Chandra autonomously transitioned to Normal Sun Mode (NSM) during an observation late on Saturday, February 2, 2024. The transition was nominal, science instruments were safed properly, and all telemetry was as expected. The immediate cause of the anomaly was a trip of the Bright Star/Commanded Attitude Monitor. The root causeContinue reading “SRPD Chandra X-Ray Observatory Recovers from Transition to Normal Sun Mode”
