Summary:
Nominal pass although - once again - the number of frames dropped during the 
SSR playaback was five times the nominal average for the first 80 days of 
the mission.  The FOT is continuing to trouble shoot this issue - but - even 
with this large increase in frame drops the FOT has been able to redump 
enough data to ensure a daily data capture of 99% or greater.

Summary:
Todays pass included a 13 minute telemetry drop out in the middle of an 
attitude correction maneuver.  The outage was caused by router problems and 
the IP NOCC needed to reconfigure and reboot some of the Isis equipment.  The 
maneuver completed nominally and the FOT completed some SWIMS commanding that 
needed to be done prior to the upcoming pre-OSM high-voltage ramp down that 
will be performed later this week.  High-voltage ramp downs will be performed 
for SWICS, SWIMS, SWEPAM, and ULEIS beginning on Thursday and ending on 
Saturday with Sunday (12/7) and Monday (12/8) reserved for any anomolies that 
come up prior to the beginning of the HOI (scheduled to start on 12/9).

Summary:
Today's pass with Madrid had - once again - had a large number of dropped 
frames during the SSR playback.  Also, a number of frames were received that 
appeared to be corrupted resulting in a crash of the TPOCC system.  These 
data problems are being investigated by replaying DSN CDR files to 
determine if the corruption/missing data is happening in the spacecraft-to-
DSN link or the DSN-to-MOC link.  The FOT also used this pass to check the 
status of all of the active C&DH Autonomy bins (results were nominal).

Summary:
Todays pass included 70 lost VC2 frames during the initial SSR dump along 
with a TPOCC Packet Extractor task crash due to the receipt of a corrupt VC1 
frame in the MOC.  In addition, there was a ~10 minute delay in beginning 
high rate operations due to a problem with telemetry channel #1 at station 
D24.  This pass included ramping down both SWEPAM E&I in preparation for next 
week's HOI activities and power-cycling the CRIS instrument to try to recover 
from a data dictionary problem that was noticed on Sunday (day 334).  The 
recovery went nominally.  A diagnostic procedure will now be run every 
few days by the FOT to keep a close eye on the CRIS instrument to try to 
catch this dictionary corruption earlier.  ULEIS will ramp down on day 339 
and SWICS and SWIMS will ramp down on day 340 to complete preparations for 
the upcoming maneuver.

The FOT continues to investigate the data corruption/loss problem (although 
so far this problem has in no was prohibited the FOT from meeting the 98% 
data capture requirement (99.0% or greater is being recovered each day)).  
Replay of a DSN CDR file from day 334 shows that the CDR file also has 
missing and corrupted data in the playback data.  The FOT is investigating 
how the CDR file is created to try to narrow down where the data is being 
lost/corrupted.

included voltage ramp downs for the SWICS and SWIMS instruments.  With the 
completion of these ramp downs the spacecraft is now configured for HOI 
maneuver activities.  In addition, the FOT uploaded new memory dump 
instructions to the CRIS instrument.  The FOT will begin running a daily CRIS 
memory dump procedure along with a daily CRIS error count procedure to assist 
the instrument team in assessing the health of the instrument.  These

Summary:
Today's pass was the first of four scheduled days of Halo Orbit Insertion 
(HOI) maneuvers. Today's activities were supported by the 34 meter 
activities at Goldstone and Canberra.  The initial attitude correction 
maneuver did not perform nominally, resulting in a large level of nutation 
that required 4-5 hours to damp out prior to initiating the initial HOI 
segment.  Because of this anomaly, only two HOI segments were completed 
instead of the four that were planned.  In addition, the RF configuration was 
left with the primary C&DH connected to the -Z broadbeam (radiating LR ADC 
format telemetry), and the inactive C&DH on the +Z broadbeam antenna with a 
RF Watchdog Terminal count set to 3 hours.  This configuration was chosen so 
that the spacecraft could be safely left at a HGA angle exceeding the HGA 
pointing requirements.

 Anomalies:
*  During the morning's Attitude Correction Burn, the firing occurred  
following every other sun pulse.  This was unexpected and was due to the 
cycle time exceeding the period between sun pulses.  Excessive nutation 
occurred as a result, on the magnitude of ~ 6.5 degrees.  HOI #1 
Segment #1 was delayed until nutation had dampened to an acceptable level.

-------------------

Summary:
 This was day-2 of Halo Orbit Insertion (HOI) activities.  The FOT performed 
spacecraft housekeeping duties early in the pass while FDF generated an 
attitude solution and attitude correction maneuver plan.  Three HOI Segments 
were completed (250 pulses each) using station D24 prior to the handoff to 
station D42.  After the handoff was completed, a fourth OSM segment was 
completed.  Finally, a spin down maneuver was performed to return to 5.0 rpm 
and an attitude correction maneuver returned the spacecraft to within the HGA 
pointing constraint so that the FOT could return operations to the HGA for an 
SSR playback.  The playback was performed over the last 2 hours of the pass 
and the FOT focused on recovering the SSR data that was recorded during day 
343's DSN pass so that the nutation induced from that day's initial attitude 
maneuver could be analyzed more closely.  This 2 hour SSR playback resulted 
in only 6 dropped VC2 frames.  The FOT is analyzing what differences there 
were in this configuration since for the last two weeks the VC2 frame drop 
rate has been much higher.

Also, after maneuver operations were completed the FOT noticed that the Star 
Scanner current draw had increased from 0.25A to 0.37A and the Scanner's lens 
temperature had risen from around 0C to over 12C and the detector temperature 
was fluctuating between -2C and +2C.  Discussions with the APL Attitude 
Determination System Engineer (Jack Hunt) pointed to changes in the 
spacecraft thermal environment during the maneuvers and the Scanner's 
detector 'chiller' trying to keep the detector under 0C as the probable cause 
for these current and temperature fluctuations.  The FOT will continue to 
monitor the scanner to ensure that these fluctuation settle out.  Overall, 
the HOI activities have upset the thermal balance of the spacecraft and 
almost all temperture sensor readings which had been steady for the past 
month are now fluctuating over a 2 to 6 degree span as the spacecraft tries 
to return to equilibrium.

-------------------

Summary:
Today's pass include 6 HOI maneuver segments (5 of 250 pulses and 1 of 125
pulses).  Both D24 and D42 supported today's activities with a handoff to D42
performed between the 5th and 6th segements of the day.  The FOT maintained a
RF configuration during the day of C&DHB connected to the +Z broadbeam and C&
DHA connected to the -Z broadbeam (with RF Watchdog timeout values of 3 hours
on each side).  The final HOI segment had to be aborted after 217 pulses due
to the same 'every other spin' phenomena that caused the large nutation
during the first pre-HOI attitude maneuver on day 343.  During this 6th
segment the spacecraft spin rate was shortening to approximately one spin
every 11.1 seconds or less.  This incremental reduction in spin period along
with spin period fluctuations caused by minor maneuver induced nutation
appear to have caused the firing sequence period to once again go beyond the
spin period (resulting in firings every other spin cycle only).  After the
maneuver was aborted the spacecraft was nutating slightly and the decision
was made to end maneuvering for the day and remain on the broadbeam antennas
overnight.  In addition, it was decided to leave the spin rate at 5.41 rpm
overnight and plan a spin down maneuver for day 346 prior to the start of the
final day of HOI activities.  Since there would be no chance of dumping the
spacecraft SSRs during the remainder of the pass the FOT instructed D42 that
the remainder of the pass would be unatteded with tracking data should
continue to be forwarded until the scheduled EOT and that telemetry should be
recorded until this time.  The FOT also requested that the D42 command
system be disabled at the beginning of the unattended period.

 Anomalies:
 During HOI-3 Segment #6, the Thruster Abort command was given at 004514.

Summary:
Today's pass concluded the ACE HOI maneuver activities.  Today's activities 
began with an attitude spin down maneuver and an attitude reorientation 
maneuver.  Once these burns had placed the spacecraft in the proper 
configuration for the HOI burns the FOT completed 4 HOI segements (three 250 
pulse burns and one 147 pulse burn).  After the fourth burn an attitude 
reorientation maneuver was executed to point the spacecraft to within 4.3 
degrees of the HGA and to prepare for the day's final burn which used the 
bottom deck axial thrusters to perform a final Mid-Course-
Correction burn (~18 minutes of continuous burning on both thrusters).

With the maneuvers completed, the FOT and the ACE Project decided to 
reconfigure the primary RF chain to the HGA with the HGA angle at 4.3 
degrees.  The decision was also made to only go to the 6,944 bps data rate at 
this angle so as not to risk losing the downlink singal.  The result was that 
the FOT did not dump the SSR data and the pass was changed to unattended for 
the final hour.  The spacecraft will be drifting to within the 3.5 degree HGA 
constraint overnight and the SSR data will be replayed at this time.  FDF 
will also be working during the next few days to determine the need and 
amplititude of an additional Trim maneuver that has been tentatively 
scheduled for day 353.

Nominal pass which included extensive commanding to the CRIS instrument.  
During initial setup of the MOC real-time system the Spacecraft Controller's 
(SC) terminal froze up.  After recycling the MOC software the problem seemed 
to clear itself up.  Also, while commanding the CRIS instrument, a FORTH 
instruction which should have included a lower case 'o' was built by TPOCC as 
an upper case 'O' even though it was entered in lower case by the SC.  The 
FOT will investigate why the command was built with the incorrect ASCII 
string.

Summary:
At the start of today's pass, telemetry was arriving at the MOC improperly 
blocked.  Investigation revealed that D42 was not using the Phase-2 
software in their TGC.  After resolving this issue an Isis problem (fanout 
went down) caused an additional delay in acquiring telemetry.  Once the 
telemetry arrived at the MOC the remainder of the pass was nominal with an 
attitude maneuver performed.  The pass was extended by 30 minutes to ensure 
that full SSR data recovery would be achieved.  

During the past few days the FOT has noticed that both the spacecraft and 
ground site AGC values are drifting to values which are close to a loss-of-
lock situation.  Working with FDF it was determined that the sites needed 
updated predicts.  The updated predicts were sent out and will be used to 
support the next pass.  Also, the frame drop problem noted a few weeks ago 
has mysteriously dissapeared.  The FOT continues to investigate potential 
causes for this anomaly.

Pass Summary:   Pass included recorder dump and CRIS opperations.
Anomalies:  Apparent error in SOE caused station DSS24 to turn off ranging
and command mod at 1938 (one hour early). They then turned ranging and
command mod back on for the remainder of the pass.

Delta limits for S3DPU (SSDVERSION, SSDCMDERR, SSDSCMDERR) only flagged
twice during pass (usually they flag dozens of times).

AGC for both spacecraft receivers increased slowly all during pass.

Pass Summary:
Beginning of SSR playback high amount of frame drops received.  Contacted
JPL com and OPS chief and informed them of drops, as this seemed to
correspond to SOHO who was also in high rate.  After about 10 min these
frame drops subsided to nominal levels.
Talked to IPNOC who informed us that we were being routed through White
sands while AT@T was putting in a different T1 card.  The time the IPNOC
gave for this activity seems to relate to frame drops.

Pass Summary:
Today's pass was shortened by approximately one-half hour because station
d61 initially was configured with the Phase-1 TGC software instead of
Phase-2.
This anomaly resulted in bad frames of telemetry being forwarded to the MOC
which crashed the MOC software and delayed the start of the pass.

reconfigured before BOT. TPOCC was recycled, but when invalid telemetry was
received the MOC software crashed.
