NASA's Orion spacecraft had a brief power problem on Sunday (Dec. 4) just hours before successfully completing a crucial engine burn near the moon.
A power unit on board the Orion spacecraft turned off four devices "responsible for downstream power" that connect to the Artemis 1 vehicle's propulsion and heating subsystems, NASA officials wrote in a statement(opens in new tab). But mission personnel swiftly put a fix in place and the mission is carrying on, the statement emphasized.
"Teams confirmed the system was healthy and successfully repowered the downstream components," agency officials wrote in the statement, released late on Sunday. "There was no interruption of power to any critical systems, and there were no adverse effects to Orion's navigation or communication."
