Lunar Prospector Spacecraft "Health"

By "pushing" the button below (start spacecraft status panel), you will start a new window that will display the "replay" data from the spacecraft telemetry. Soon you will be able to "push" any button on the Health monitor, have that instrument/system highlighted, and the replay telemetry stream displayed in the appropriate boxes below.

The Lunar Prospector year and a half mission ended on 31 July 1999. We will replay some data around interesting events. An orbit may take the spacecraft behind the Moon and into its shadow. Temperatures will change and Solar panel current will drop off. On March 13 1998 there was a penumbral eclipse as the moon saw the earth partially block the sun. See how battery current and solar panels were affected.

The idea here is to allow the user to have a separate window that shows the spacecraft health and the ability to keep perusing the web site at the same time.
