Abstract:
Near the end of the Voyager 2 Saturn encounter, the scan platform azimuth actuator seized, causing a scan platform pointing error that resulted in a loss of some data. Recommendations involved the need for life cycle testing of critical rotating mechanical equipment, and attention to factors that could cause increased drive torque requirements for rotating elements used in a space environment.
