incorrect
                                                    Rcvr predicts.  Used
'sky' predicts from Book.
     *  G-21:  Received TPOCC event message " Tlm decom could not read
telemetry packet from packet extractor - closing connection.  Return link 1
and 3 to Packet Extractor frame client was terminated without proper clean
up.
MOR string crashed as a result.  MOC software recycled and Operations
continued in the MOR.

Actvities:
     1.  Played back SSR B - 578 slices.  Redumped 236 slices.  Had to
redump slices 0-181 due to the MOR crash.  FOT had not yet logged which
slices needed redumping.
     2.  Sent SIS commands at PI's request (CR#16).

Pass Summary:  Good pass with a redump done from Day 264 and all data
dumped from SSR B.  The problem with the EEPROM dump was solved by
correcting the GRI so a successful compare with 0 miscompares resulted.
The pass was extended by 15 minutes to 18:15.

was lost from the crash.

Pass Summary:   Completed OSM6 , two attitude maneuvers and axial maneuver
which was aborted by a faulty timetag bin used for maneuver safing. This
abort caused the spin rate to be correct so no re-maneuvering and no
spindown were required.
Also SSR A went into Idle and autbin #41 fired as safing which caused SSR B
to record using Segment 1.  Roll over of TOT_CMD_CT.

* During SEPICA HV operations, S3DPU appeared to put SWICS, SWIMS, and
SEPICA in standby - will be investigated by M. Popecki.  A similar incident
occurred during thermal vac.
 * c_adc procedure put downlink in high data rate for some reason.  Should
have gone into medium rate only
