Still no contact with STEREO Behind

Submit on Monday, November 10th, 2014 22:58

Communications with the STEREO Behind spacecraft were interrupted on 1 October 2014 immediately after a planned reset of the spacecraft performed as part of a test of solar conjunction operations. There have been no successful communications since then, though attempts to recover the spacecraft continue. Initial indications are that a series of problems in the guidance and control system led to the anomaly.
