NASA’s Lucy spacecraft deploying its solar arrays.

Lucy Spacecraft Healthy as NASA Continues Solar Array Assessments.

NASA’s Lucy spacecraft successfully transitioned to cruise mode on October 20, which is the standard configuration for flight.

The spacecraft remains stable, power positive, with all other subsystems working, with the exception of one solar array.

The Lucy team is working to understand the current state of the array before attempting to complete deployment.

NASA is reviewing spacecraft data, including using techniques to measure how much electric current is produced by the array during various spacecraft positions and attitudes.

The spacecraft continues to travel along its expected trajectory – track its path online.
