Landsat 5 experienced an issue with its onboard batteries
25 October 2007
Early Saturday, October 6, 2007, the Landsat 5 Flight Operations Team noted that battery #2 was automatically taken off-line the previous evening. All imaging was stopped in order to conserve power. With the loss of battery #2, Landsat 5’s remaining battery may have sufficient capacity to maintain the health and safety of the spacecraft and potentially continue with some level of day-lit imaging operations. Three phases to the investigation and recovery activity are underway. By the end of November, the team will have sufficient information to make a recommendation on the Landsat 5 mission concept – return to full operations or a more limited operations concept.
