Conclusions and Recommendations

• The Board acknowledges the outstanding achievements of the SOHO Recovery Team
• The spacecraft is operating in a sun-pointing mode with all instruments on and collecting high-quality science data
• Roll gyro redundancy has been lost, which increases the risk associated with recovery from future spacecraft anomalies
• The Board endorses implementation of several measures to increase ground system effectiveness in order to reduce risk to operations
• Recommendations include a strengthened management structure and processes with increased staffing and includes a phased approach to transition to normal operations
• Implementation of the response to the recommendations will contribute significantly to the mitigation of risk of future operations and ensure the obligations of both agencies.
