Question

Can someone please help!!!!! ASAP!!!

Read the following selection and then answer the question.

On July 1, mission controllers commanded Jason-1 into a safe hold state that reinitialized the satellite. After making several more unsuccessful attempts to locate a signal, mission managers at CNES and NASA decided to proceed with decommissioning Jason-1. The satellite was then commanded to turn off its magnetometer and reaction wheels. Without these attitude control systems, Jason-1 and its solar panels will slowly drift away from pointing at the sun and its batteries will discharge, leaving it totally inert within the next 90 days. The spacecraft will not reenter Earth's atmosphere for at least 1,000 years.


What is the main idea of the passage?

Jason-1 is drifting away from pointing at the sun.

The magnetometer and reaction wheels of Jason-1 are turned off.

The batteries of Jason-1 are failing slowly.

Jason-1 is decommissioned and will not work any further.

Answer 1

Jason-1 is decommissioned and will not work any further.

Step-by-step explanation:
