Today, SSTs on Probes B and C were turned on and their attenuators were exercised. Probe D’s SST was not commissioned since the SSR was still full from ESAs commissioning yesterday. Probe A and E SSTs were turned on, but due to sun in their apertures at these attitudes, their currents red-limited and they were turned off before the end of their contacts. By the end of the day, all SSTs were powered off in order to allow manevers to proceed.

Probes A, E, D and B were maneuvered to ecliptic normal, enabling better communications, stable power and thermal conditions. Fuel usage since launch has been a mere 0.2 kg.

Science and engineering data for all probes was played out. All probes remain in good health and their orbits are well known.
