Yeah eh,, Scott mentions that a Sensor had failed, not sure if only one or more, considering two mirrors having a problem, , though also need to know where these sensors are and what they actually do apart from the obvious.

I'd think they be behind each mirror segment measuring each mirrors position, distance etc,,, Apart from that, its also mentioned that the motors that move the mirrors are all working which is a good thing for sure,, so maybe the plan of arranging all the other mirrors into locaton 1st and then try moving the two concerning segments manually or more like overiding the sensor mechanisms and attempt to allign these two by trail and error ?
Just a thought and my Bob's worth ?
