SOHO Is Back

Posted by CowboyNeal on Friday July 18, 2003 @12:09AM from the found-in-space dept.

c4tp's friend writes "Space.com reports that SOHO (Solar and Heliospheric Observatory) is back and almost fully operational. The satellite should be able to transmit 98% of the data it was able to transport before an electric motor stuck disabling its high gain attenae in June (covered by Slashdot). The fix includes a 180 degree rotation of SOHO and use of another satellite dish transmitting the information via the Deep Space Network. SOHO will be out of order for about nine to sixteen days every three months."

Sorry, but SOHO means Small Office / Home Office.
Not all stuff that matter is about "nerds". Have a little respect for acronyms that were around before you were.

PLEASE stop whoring the "SOHO" acronym. It's used in so many places that "SOHO" actually means Jack Shit to anyone until it is explained.
