While flight controllers at ESA's European Space Operations in Darmstadt, Germany had hoped to deploy all three booms by May 12, the unfurling of the remaining antennas will not resume until engineers fully understand the current anomaly, as well as its implications to future boom deployment.
It's hard to keep track of everything like
flight direction and telemetry read - outs
while also thinking about what your fingers are doing on the
controller.
The
controller works by replacing the standard dual - thumbstick setup with two touch - sensitive pads that work sort of like a
flight stick for your fingers, where the left handles what would normally be a WASD movement setup,
while the right handles aiming and precision.
