ACE Status - Z Axis Control Final Update ---------------------------------------- Operations Day - 204/2001 (July 23, 2001) Pass Highlights: station: DSS-16 BOT=13:05:00 EOT=16:35:00 Pass Summary: Nominal pass and recorder playback. Instrument ramp downs performed in preparation for tomorrow's maneuver activities. - SWICS - SWIMS - SWEPAM-E - SWEPAM-I ____________________________________________________ Operations Day - 205/2001 (July 24, 2001) Pass Highlights: stations: DSS-16 BOT=13:00:00 EOT=21:05:00 DSS-27 BOT=20:50:00 EOT=23:20:00 DSS-34 BOT=23:00:00 EOT=01:15:00 Pass Summary: S/C reconfigured from the HGA to the -Z Broadbeam antenna. Five maneuvers were performed during the ~ 12 hour support: 2 Attitude Reorientations and 3 Lissajous Z Axis Control burns. The final attitude reorientation maneuver returned the spacecraft to within mission HGA constraints. This allowed the S/C to be reconfigured from the -Z Broadbeam to the HGA prior to the scheduled EOT. The seven hour support scheduled for day 206 should allow for the completion of the remaining maneuvers and will allow SSR activities to return to nominal configuration while sustaining no data loss. Maneuvers currently planned for day 206 are a Stationkeeping burn, an Attitude Reorientation, and a Spin Rate Correction burn, if needed. Instrument High Voltage Ramp Ups will also be performed. ____________________________________________________ Operations Day - 206/2001 (July 25, 2001) Pass Highlights: stations: DSS-16 BOT=13:27:00 EOT=20:00:00 Pass Summary: Two maneuvers were executed today: a Stationkeeping and an Attitude Reorientation; a Spin Rate Correction was not needed. All science data was recovered and the SSRs were returned to their nominal configuration. No instrument ramp ups were performed; all are scheduled for tomorrow, DOY 207. ================================================ Jacqueline Maldonado Snell Honeywell Technology Solutions Incorporated (HTSI) Goddard Space Flight Center Bldg. 14 Rm W10B, Code 428.2 Greenbelt, MD 20771 Phone: (301) 286-7072 Fax: (301) 286-1729 E-mail: Jacqueline.Snell.1@gsfc.nasa.gov
