Took about 15 mins to fiddle around and eventually go up and remove the instrument to see what the issue was. PR submitted. Slid the diffuser in place by hand initially and then cycled a few times to see the issue. I left the diffuser in for the observer and advised of the issue. ------- FAILURE LOG ------- FAILURE MODE TIME PROG INSTR TI/SHU START FINISH DESCRIPTION ---------------------------------------------------------------------- UW01 ARCTIC I/H 00:25 00:40 Diffuser would not go into place remotely.
