Preventing the spacecraft�*s solar panels from continuously pointing at the sun to draw power. i guess it's now looking like there might have been another glitch. simeon barber has spent four years developing a british sensor system on the lunar lander. unfortunately, astrobotic have not managed to get kind of a stable attitude control. so positioning and pointing of the spacecraft. so what does this mean for the spacecraft? it needs to point its solar cells in the right direction, so towards the sun. so you need to be able to recharge your batteries in order to have a good state of battery ...
