However, ESA experts believe that the glitch "does not significantly affect the progression of the flight programme and the mission should approach Mars in December," the officials said.

I saw a program last year in which scientist mentioned an ongoing myth of a "space monster" which keeps destroying satellites sent out into our solar system after having lost several one after the other.
But given the destructive power of even a fleck of paint travelling at speed it suprising anything lasts long up there.

I put it down to the French Robot Solar Panel Union demanding a three day work week and 70 days paid holiday.
