Good news for NASA's Lucy spacecraft, the solar array of which is now almost completely deployed.

NASA’s Lucy spacecraft, on its way away from Earth and towards the Trojan asteroids, has had issues with one of its two large solar arrays which failed to latch into place following launch. NASA has been working on the problem for several months, and the agency now reports “significant progress” in the deployment of the solar array.

NASA announced it had a plan to address this issue in April this year, by tightening the lanyard which deployed the array. There are two motors that control this lanyard, one primary and one backup, and it was decided to run both motors together to produce more torque and to tug more firmly on the lanyard, hopefully pulling the array further into position.
