The only previous interruption of IXPE science observations was due to a similar issue in June of 2023. <\/p>\n<p>On March 26, using procedures developed following that previous interruption, the team initiated a spacecraft avionics reset to address the issue, which put IXPE into a planned safe mode. The team has confirmed that IXPE is once again transmitting valid telemetry data and is now working to resume science operations, in as rapid and safe a manner as possible. The spacecraft is in good health.<\/p>\n<p>Launched in 2021, IXPE is a space observatory built to discover the secrets of some of the most extreme cosmic objects \u2013 the remnants of supernova explosions, neutron stars, powerful particle streams ejected by feeding black holes, and more. The observatory is NASA\u2019s first mission to study the polarization of X-rays from many different types of celestial objects.
