NASA's MAVEN spacecraft remains in safe mode after IMU issue
NASA's MAVEN spacecraft went into safe mode on Feb. 16 due to an issue with its Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU), which measures the spacecraft's rate of rotation for determining its pointing during a minor maneuver scheduled to reduce eclipse durations in 2027. On Feb. 17, MAVEN exited safe mode and is currently operating in all stellar mode, which does not rely on IMU measurements and all
