"Euclid Space Telescope's Vision Cleared with De-icing Mission"

The European Space Agency successfully de-iced the optics of the Euclid spacecraft using a carefully devised heating process, resulting in a 15 percent increase in light reception from the Universe. The de-icing plan, designed by calibration scientist Mischa Schirmer, allowed scientists to pinpoint where the ice had formed and will now be incorporated into normal spacecraft operations, enabling Euclid to clearly observe faint light from distant galaxies.
