And on the mars Express problem, (which somehow my text got lost from
earlier)...
Connector with a high resistance will get hot surely? I trust nothing else
too important flows through the same cables.

| | Opportunity Mars Rover Targeted For Launch No Earlier Than July 7
| |
| | The second Mars Exploration Rover, Opportunity, is now targeted for
| | launch no earlier than Monday, July 7. The delay is due to the failure
| | of a battery cell associated with a component of the launch vehicle's
| | flight termination system. The battery must be removed and replaced.

| | Power glitch hits Mars Express, but mission should be OK: ESA
| |
| | PARIS (AFP) Jul 02, 2003
| |
| | Europe's first solo mission to Mars has been hit by a 30-percent
| | shortfall in power, but this should not affect any of its goals, the
| | European Space Agency (ESA) here said Wednesday.
| |
| | Ground engineers checking out the Mars Express as it heads towards the
| | Red Planet came across a faulty connection between its solar wings and a
| | unit that distributes the electricity generated by those panels, ESA
| | said in a mission update.
