Hitomi: Spacecraft Orientation Calculation Error
Curated archive record from NASA's 2023 historical software and automation incident catalog. NASA records an error in calculating the Hitomi X-ray telescope's orientation that led to loss of the spacecraft. The catalog cautions that an incident's behavior may not mean software itself was the sole root cause. This is a public-source summary, not an independent eyewitness report.
