The spacecraft appeared to perform well during an engine burn Monday (Dec. 5) despite a recent brief power hiccup.
Monday to put it on course for a splashdown in the Pacific Ocean on Dec. 11. The issue occurred shortly after a different trajectory burn on Sunday that started at 11:43 a.m. EST , and NASA is investigating the cause.
The power glitch was identified shortly after Orion came back into contact with NASA's Deep Space Network at 1:41 p.m. EST on Sunday, following a planned power outage; Orion periodically is out of contact with Earth as it flies on the back side of the moon, where it cannot beam signals to antennas on our planet.
NASA engineers are unsure whether the issue is linked to a previous problem with the devices, which are called umbilical latching current limiters. On Flight Day 5 of the mission, around Nov. 21, one of thewithout a command. Engineers commanded the device to close and had no issue in doing so, officials said at the time.
