Operations Day -- 61/1998 (2 March 98)
Summary:
This pass was only 50 minutes long due to DSN resource constraints. In
addition, there was no ranging performed during this pass due to a last
minute DSN resource conflict. Becasue of the short duration of the pass,
the FOT was only able to dump ~5 hours of the 24 hours of SSR data that
needed to be retrieved. In addition, the FOT was unable to perform requested
instrument commanding during this short pass. A second pass has been
scheduled for later today to retrieve some additional SSR data - but - this
pass is also limited in length and will not permit full data recovery. The
remaining SSR data will hopefully be recovered on day 62.
Anomalies:
* CMTS support on D17 took D16's Ranging equipment. As a result, no
Ranging data was available during pass. Our rise at Goldstone was at 155408,
so it was requested Carrier be brought up at 1555.

Pass Summary:

enough time to dump all SSR data. The remaining data will be retrieved on
day 62.

Operations Day -- 62/1998 (3 March 98)
Pass Summary:
Today's pass was moved from station D24 to D16 so that the 34 meter antenna
could be used to support a SOHO spacecraft emergency. The pass was nominal
and the FOT was able to recover all of today's SSR data as well as the
remaining day 61 SSR data that was not dumped due to the short length of
yesterday's pass.
Anomalies:
* Due to SOHO S/C Emergency, ACE's original pass on D24 was deleted.

on the inactive C&DH and compared the dump against the TPOCC ground image.

Operations Day -- 64/1998 (5 March 98)
Pass Summary:
Nominal pass which was used by the FOT to perform maintenance and health
evaluation tasks with the inactive C&DH and Sun Sensor The major activity
today was the first post-launch power up and health evaluation of Sun Sensor
B. At the completion of the daily SSR playback - the idle SSR was
reconfigured to C&DH B where it recorded the Sun Sensor B turn-on. After ~20
minutes of recording, the Sun Sensor was powered off, the SSR was reconfigured
to C&DH A and the SSR data was retrieved. During the time Sun Sensor B was
powered on - FDF generated an attitude solution with Sun Sensor A. This
solution will be compared against a solution that will be generated during a
playback of the Sun Sensor B data. Initial indications are that Sun Sensor B
is healthy and operating nominally. Since the Sun Sensors are not cross
strapped - the health of Sun Sensor B would have a great impact on any
Project decisions to fail over to C&DH B in a contingency situation. The Sun
Sensor B turn-on event, which was seen by C&DH A, will also be used to
evaluate the C&DH B clock accuracy (since the C&DH B clock value is not
downlinked via C&DH A) by comparing the 'time' that this event was seen by C&
DH A compared to the 'time' seen by C&DH B.

Pass Summary:
Today's pass focused on uploading a software patch to the ULEIS instrument
(OCR ULEIS-220). 394 separate loads were uplinked to complete this task.
After completion of the load sequence, ULEIS was not returned to full
operational status (completed 2 of 9 high-voltage steps) due to a shortage of
time.
Anomalies:
- JPL Comm reported alarms due to incorrect configuration of telemetry
channels at DSS-66. After DSS-66 changed configuration, VC2 data dropped out
and VC1 frames became corrupted with duplicate frames as seen from ACE MOC.
TPOCC packet extractor crashed and TPOCC had to be restarted during ULEIS
commanding. ULEIS flight load procedure was successfully resumed after TPOCC
restart.

All the data rate transitions, at the beginning and end of the pass, will
execute from the on-board timetag bin 5 - 10 minutes before or after the

coordinated with the stations
The SEPICA 30KV power supply was turned off by the S3DPU when it violated a
current limit. This has happened a few times before and the S3DPU
performed as expected.
Anomalies:

D24 143837 180000
Pass Summary:
Nominal pass except for late AOS due to station problems. No data
loss was incurred. Performed SWICS and SWIMS high voltage ramp-up
activities. Performed dump of inactiveC&DH (C&DH B) bins onto Idle SSR to
verify bins' contents.
The Data for day 085 was recovered using a CDR playback from DSN.
100% data recovery was achieved using this method.
Anomalies:
