The P6 solar array was installed11years ago. NASA decided to retract it in order that a newer P4 solar array installed in12can rotate to track the Sun without colliding with it. On Wednesday an attempt to retract the solar array partly failed owing to that only 13 and a half of the arrays 13 segments were safely folded. Despite the failure, the array had been pulled back and the space between it and P4 at their closest points is 14 metres, which is far enough to avoid the collision between them.
Key and Explanations:
1. FALSE See Paragraph 2 under the subtitle Fold failure: Thursdays spacewalk to tackle other jobs will proceed as planned, without a fix to the solar array.
2. TRUE See Paragraph 4 under the subtitle Fold failure: After almost 6.5 hours of trying to get the array to retract and more than 40 remote-control commands sent to the array
3. FALSE See Paragraph 5 under the subtitle Fold failure: NASA wants to get the P6 array fully retracted before they move it to another part of the station on a future mission.
