Remote Agent Experiment May 17-18th experiment Generate plan for course correction and thrust Diagnose camera as stuck on –Power constraints violated, abort current plan and replan Perform optical navigation Perform ion propulsion thrust May 21th experiment. Diagnose faulty device and –Repair by issuing reset. Diagnose switch sensor failure. –Determine harmless, and continue plan. Diagnose thruster stuck closed and –Repair by switching to alternate method of thrusting. Back to back planning See rax.arc.nasa.gov
