The electronics associated with the
gyros have shown significant degradation over the years of exposure to the harsh
radiation environment near Jupiter. However, when the spacecraft spends time
farther away from Jupiter, the electronics have
shown some tendency to heal themselves somewhat from these radiation
effects, or anneal. This test will provide engineers with data
about how much self-healing takes place
after 2-1/2 months far from the radiation damage.
