Any guesses?.........................

My guess:

ALIENS..................

[butlerweave]

Diversity Shopping for equipment ?

[rdl6989]

Of course it’s aliens.

[packagingguy]

The term “Aliens” is insensitive and only serves the oppressive Patriarchy.

Instead use the term “undocumented extraterrestrials”.

NASA has a good track record of troubleshooting glitches on its distant space missions.

Is there nothing Diversity cannot accomplish?

My guess is cold. Nothing works right in the cold.
It seems to work better after it had a chance to warm up.

[Verginius Rufus]

Juno is still ticked off over her husband’s many affairs.

So did NASA ignore the message on the camera screen: ALL THESE WORLDS ARE YOURS, EXCEPT EUROPA.
ATTEMPT NO LANDING THERE.
USE THEM TOGETHER. USE THEM IN PEACE.
? j/k

[Little Pig]

Funnily enough, the opposite is the case for the instruments on the Webb. They have to be truly cold before they can properly image things.

JunoCam (JCM)

A visible light camera/telescope, included in the payload to facilitate education and public outreach; later re-purposed to study the dynamics of Jupiter's clouds, particularly those at the poles.[86]

It was anticipated that it would operate through only eight orbits of Jupiter ending in September 2017 [87] due to the planet's damaging radiation and magnetic field,[78] but as of November 2022 (46 orbits), JunoCam remains operational.[88]

Apparently. If you read "2061: Odyssey Three", that is.

ALIENS..................

My first thought as well.

[Tom Tetroxide]

I thought they armored up that space probe to withstand all that jovial radiation!

[Chode]

not us...
