SOHO Re-Certification Board 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.
