| Venus Express Status Report - November 2007 |
| An anomaly in the solar array drive circuitry, already known on Mars Express, was detected on Venus Express for the first time on 23 August 2007. Within 24 hours the error happened twice. This resulted in a three day stop of all science operations. It was decided to implement the Mars Express patch to solve the problem. Following the trigger of the same event for the -Y wing on 18 September, the patch was also enabled for that wing. Since then S/C operations have been performed nominally. |
