    178178The PROBA 2 operational modes for the ACNS are as follows:
    179179 *   The Bdot mode (safe mode): uses the Earth’s magnetic field to reduce angular rates after separation and also
    180  as a safe mode during the mission. It ensures that the solar arrays on the deployed panels remain roughly pointed towards the Sun.

    181181 *   The magnetic mode (experimental): uses only the magnetic field to point the desired payload toward a desired target.
    182182 *   The inertial mode controls the spacecraft attitude with respect to the inertial frame.
