Team members of CAPSTONE have successfully executed a rescue operation to stop the spinning of NASA's spacecraft. The valve-related problem in CAPSTONE lead to the loss of its 3-axis attitude control and caused it to enter into a spin stabilized state. After extensive evaluation of telemetry and simulation data, a rescue operation was formulated by the mission members.
