We already pointed to issues for #ESAEuclid requiring extra time for commissioning. 👩🏼🏭 The #Euclid #spacecraft saw unexpected straylight 💡 and X-ray photons 🩻 from a hyperactive sun, and the fine guiding sensor 🔬 software was not yet to specifications.
It's starting to look better: Avoiding some sun-angles gets rid of straylight, while industry, ESA, and npub1e0v65awjnph2lk4nuhzqhe9fgh3r5p6k7zchktq5nlkez0rlljrqyw42r4 (npub1e0v…42r4) scientists 👩🏿💻 are working on software updates and diagnostics.
