...faces of SOHO's solar panels tilt more and more toward the sun, controllers are alternately charging the batteries and using them to warm SOHO's slushy on-board hydrazine fuel, which nearly froze during the craft's dormancy. The hydrazine, when fully thawed, will be used to fire thrusters in a series of brief burns. That procedure should halt SOHO's spin, stabilize the observatory and face its solar panels directly toward...
