Repair kit for NASA’s NICER mission en route to space station

“It’s incredible that in just one year we were able to diagnose the problem and then design, build, test and deliver a fix,” said Steve Kenyon, NICER mechanical lead at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland. “We’re so excited to see the patches installed during a future spacewalk, return to a more regular operational schedule and continue doing groundbreaking science.”
