NASA’s Kepler spacecraft enters emergency mode 75 million miles of Earth

10/04/2016

#NASA engineers must declare a mission emergency for this agency’s planet-hunting spacecraft Kepler, which has somehow switched into emergency form. NASA only found out about the anomaly a day plus a half ago, right back that agency tried to maneuver the satellite to point at that center of the Milky Way because a new observation campaign. Now so a mission emergency has been declared, the Kepler team has priority access to NASA’s deep space telecommunications system so try to get the spacecraft after to normal operations.
The emergency style is the lowest operational style the spacecraft has. It also demands a lot more fuel than usual, which is why that Kepler mission team is working difficult to get the spacecraft back to normal. But communication by Kepler isn’t easy. This spacecraft is currently 75 million miles away from Earth right promptly, according to NASA, so all communications signal traveling at that speed of light will catch up to 13 minutes upon travel upon and of the spacecraft. NASA said it will provide updates on its efforts when they are available.
This isn’t that first time that Kepler has suffered some malfunction. Kepler originally launched in 2009, with one goal of looking as planets outside of ours Solar System. This spacecraft accomplished its principal goal by 2012, after finding nearly 5,000 exoplanets. In July from that year, Kepler experienced a failure in one from its four gyroscopic reaction wheels, which help aim this spacecraft. A second roller was lost in May 2013, putting an end upon its primary mission. But in 2014, NASA was able to extend Kepler’s life into what is called the K2 mission, which involves using pressure from this Sun on help orient the spacecraft.
