Challenge 5
Here's what we know.
We've done our best work, and it seems that we've regained control of the satellite.
But how do we know for sure?
The challenge? Teams must prove that we are fully in control of the satellite system by successfully imaging the moon.
Here's how they do it.
By now, teams should have restored the command and data handling system,
repaired the Attitude Determination and Control System, ADCS,
and resumed payload operation.
But their work is not done.
They must now figure out the satellite's current orientation by sending commands to the command and data handling system,
which will in turn provide essential readings back to the team
and enable them to issue commands to point the satellite and imager payload at the moon using the ADCS.
Once the imager payload is lined up to the moon,
the next command will tell the imager to take a picture and save it onboard the satellite.
The next time the satellite passes over a ground station, this image will be downloaded.
