ACE Weekly 06/24/05 - 06/30/05 All ACE spacecraft subsystems are performing nominally. ============================================================================ Orbit/Attitude: Type Attitude Date 06/29/05 DOY 180 2005 Thrusters 2R 4R+ 4R- Duration 11:00 min Start Time 13:58:39z Stop Time 14:09:39z Firing 56 pulses The next attitude maneuver is scheduled for Monday 07/11/05. ============================================================================ OCRs: None ============================================================================ Ongoing Activities: Space Link Extension (SLE) - The requirements document has been baselined. The test plan was distributed on 06/30/05. The next ACE JPL telecon scheduled for 07/21/05. ============================================================================ Extra Activities: None ============================================================================ Anomalies: DOY 175 (06/24/05) ACE Anomaly G05-0084 FORMATS Transmit Error The FORMATS software is designed to retransmit ACE products if the FTP was unsuccessful. After the connection to NOAA was unsuccessful on 2005:175:16:27:35, FORMATS did a full transmission and tried to transmit files that had already been sent and deleted. The resulting error messages were documented. IMPACT: None. All files reached their destination. DOY 178 (06/27/05) ACE Anomaly G05-0085 Video Monitor Failure An HP A4331A Monitor failed (ac3ws1) and was repaired by Hardware Maintenance. IMPACT: Minimal. Video monitor was for String 3 (backup string) DOY 179 (06/28/05) ACE Anomaly G05-0086 Erroneous Pass Change Message The ROBOTT software checks the pass schedule for the current DOY and the following DOY. The information is retrieved from DSN's 7-day schedule and view file. When checking for DOY 180, ROBOTT incorrectly included view data with an event description of "180 DEG AZIMUTH". An erroneous Pass Change notification was generated. IMPACT: Minimal. The problem was with the pass-check program, not the cron-generator program. DOY 180 (06/29/05) ACE Anomaly G05-0087 TSTOL Syntax Error A recently updated TSTOL procedure for SSR redumps produced a syntax error when performing variable substitution. Appropriate GOTO statements were performed and the procedure was completed successfully. The procedure has been corrected. IMPACT: Minimal. The procedure was manually executed at the time of the error. DOY 181 (06/30/05) ACE Anomaly G05-0088 GDS DSS-27 CMD System Problems Problems with the Command Processor Assembly at the station was resolved after 6 reboots. IMPACT: Activities delayed 68 minutes. Data will be captured during next support.
