Pass Summary: Good pass overall. DSN needed to use the correct TGC with the
Phase 2 software before data acquisition. This delayed AOS by 25 minutes.
SEPICA ops were non-nominal with OCR involvement.
Anomalies:  DR #L1500 from D66 about loss of telemetry. The station
procedures should include the TGC appropriate for each mission - for ACE
the TGC used needs Phase 2 software.

*Station D66 was confused by our "real-time" and "dump" data not realizing
we received both in high rate. The operators use TCA 1 for initial rate of
498 then TCA 2 for the high rate. "Real-time" is TCA 1 and "dump" data is
TCA 2. This was confusing.
*To clarify for D66, stay with the rate required not whether it is
"real-time" or "dump" or VC1 or TCA1 etc.

Activities:
12:05:00 Expected AOS
12:30:00 Actual AOS after DR#L1500 - using incorrect TGC software. Also had
to call Ops Chief to enable 5-16 monitor data because we were not receiving
ground receiver info.

Pass Summary:
Anomalies:
     *  DR#G02867 - Problems with XMTR started at 151805.  At ~1600, D24
notified MOC that the XMTR would not be back up until past the EOT.  They
would bring up D16, if possible.  D16 brought up to continue support @
1638.  Validated CPA.
Terminated Tlm from D24 and had D16 put Telemetry online.  Sent /noop to
C&DH A and verified @ 164500.
     *  Clock Calibration File corrupted yesterday when MOR TPOCC captured
TASS data.

Activities:
     *  Initial Contact Activities
     *  Commanded S/C to 76K ADC @ 135107.

     *  Recycled TPOCC in hopes of incorrect S/C time would get fixed.
Begun @ 142255.  Completed @ 1430z.  S/C time still incorrect.
     *  Powered ON Radial Catbeds @  144048.
     *  Telemetry dropout @ 151611.  Telemetry back @ 151805, but XMTR not
up.  D24 will keep ACE MOC aware of its status.
     *  ~1600z D24 notifies that XMTR will NOT be back up before EOT.  D15
brought up to support ACE @ 1638.  Validated CPA and Terminated Telemetry
from D24.  D16 put telemetry on line.  Sent /noop to Active C&DH ---
verified @ 164500.
     *  Attitude Correction Burn begun @ 165457.  Completed @ 165804.

Operations Day -- 304/1997 (31 Oct 97)
 Pass Summary: 
Good pass with some problems encountered when the FOT attempted to change the 
pass to 'unattended' for the last 30 minutes so that ranging data could be 
collected for as long as possible.  D46 personnel were unable to accomodate 
this request because bringing down command modulation (to stop any commands 
from being sent to the spacecraft) also brought down the ranging capability.  
This problem was due to a configuration issue at the station and the ACE NOPE 
is developing a procedure for the stations to follow so that in the future 
the FOT should always be able to end commanding with ranging still enabled so 
that passes can be tranistioned to unattended as necessary.

 Anomalies:
*  Ranging disabled @ 2310 as a result of Command Modulation being 
disabled @ 2310.  DR # forthcoming.  NOPE looking into new procedure for 
Stations to implement when configuring for an ACE support.
