ACE Weekly 11/17/2006 - 11/23/2006 All ACE spacecraft subsystems are performing nominally. ============================================================================ Orbit/Attitude: Type Attitude Date 11/17/2006 DOY 321 2006 Thrusters 2R 4R- 4R+ Duration 7:51 min Start 20:18:02z Stop 20:25:53z StartHGA -5.53 deg StopHGA +5.62 deg Firing 40 pulses FinalSCMass 1394.526lbs The next attitude maneuver is scheduled for Monday, 11/27/2006. ============================================================================ OCRs: DOY 325 (11/21/2006) GND-171 The ground clock calibration epoch was reset to the original value calculated after launch which is 1997 237 15:48:24.604. This epoch will be used starting with the clock calibration report for DOY 324 2006. DOY 325 (11/21/2006) GND-175 The ROBOTT SPS patch to provide the SPS password in the SOAP request was installed on ACEDDS. On 10/25/2006, DSN upgraded to SPS V1.0.5b which requires this password. Testing is underway. DOY 326 (11/22/2006) GND-174 TPOCC r5.3 was installed on String 2. Testing of the installation is underway. ============================================================================ Activities: Automation - DSN has postponed the transition to SPS until January 2007 (originally set for 11/27/2006). This will provide enough time for testing and a smooth transition for operations. RIONET - String 3 IP addresses will be configured for the RIONet 11/28/2006 through 11/30/2006 (DOY 332-334). The next RIONet meeting is scheduled for 11/28/2006. Space Link Extension (SLE) - ACE SLE version 2.1 was delivered to the Library on April 28, 2006. Installation in the ACE MOC will not occur until after the MOC is converted to the RIONET. ============================================================================ Anomalies: None
