ACE Weekly 07/09/04 - 07/15/04 All ACE spacecraft subsystems are performing nominally. An attitude maneuver was successfully executed on 07/09/04. The next attitude maneuver is scheduled for 07/22/04. ============================================================================ Orbit Events: The next ACE SEV transit will occur in the mid-Aug to early Sep '04 timeframe. ===================================================================== OCRs Executed: NONE ===================================================================== Ongoing Activities: TAPS: - Installation of TAPS release 4.3 is tentatively scheduled for 07/20/04. All open DRs will be fixed in this release. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Automation (ROBOTT): - Release 0.7 string 2 installation delayed due to additional fixes and testing. It has been re-scheduled for 07/19/04. -- Three week estimate for completion of string 2 testing. -- Installation on String 1 tentatively scheduled for 08/09/04. - Additional FOT training sessions on ROBOTT are under development. ============================================================================ Extra Spacecraft Activities: None ===================================================================== Anomalies: DOY 04196 (07/14/04) ACE Anomaly G04-0064 - GDS 34m (DSS-27) DSN - RCVR B out of lock DSS-27's antenna went off-point which resulted in loss of lock on the spacecraft receiver B. A resweep was requested by the FOT and lock was reacquired on both receivers. IMPACT: Command capability delayed for ~2 minutes. DR# G104613 DOY 04197 (07/15/04) ACE Anomaly G04-0065 - GDS 34m (DSS-27) DSN - CRG power supply problems At 12:28:00 D27 informed the FOT that telemetry would be delayed indefinitely due to problems with their +15 Coherent Reference Generator power supply having a 2 volt ripple. At 13:25:00 D27 put telemetry online, informed FOT they were In-lock and had go for command. The support was extended 1/2 hour in order to complete pass activities. IMPACT: None. All SSR data recovered. DR# G104623 DOY 04197 (07/15/04) ACE Anomaly G04-0066 - GDS 34m (DSS-27) JPL - CTX problems/Degraded Data At 15:08:23 FOT noticed degraded telemetry being received. DSS-27 reported not seeing any problems on their end. FOT then contacted JPL, who informed the FOT they were experiencing problems with their secondary T1 line and were currently investigating the issue. IMPACT: Degraded data. SSR redumps performed to recover missing data. DR# N102228
