AUDIO:
The rotational speed of the spacecraft is gradually reduced
over several days after lift-off and the rotational axis was
changed to achieve the most stable configuration of the spacecraft
five days after lift-off. Deployment of solar cell paddles adds
sun acquisition control. The X-ray telescope was extended ten
days after lift-off on March 2nd, and performance verification
of observational instruments started.
