  • The CAPS instrument was powered back up on March 19, 2012, after having been powered off in June of 2011 due to an electrical short. Analysis during the powered-off period showed that the electrical short is not a significant threat to the rest of the spacecraft. The CAPS instrument is now powered on, actuating, and collecting data.
