ACE Weekly 07/27/2007 - 08/02/2007

All ACE spacecraft subsystems are performing nominally.

============================================================================
Orbit/Attitude:

No maneuvers were performed this week.  The next attitude maneuver is
scheduled for Friday, 08/03/2007.

============================================================================
OCRs:

None

============================================================================
Activities:

Space Link Extension (SLE) - Planning for the transition to ACE SLE will
start Tuesday 08/07/2007.

Planning continues for integrating ACE operations into a multi-mission ops
center (MMOC).  On 08/02/2007, an Architecture Review was presented.  The
current TPOCC mission software will be replaced by ITOS and the ROBOTT
automation software will be replaced by GMSEC tools (CAT, GREAT, ANSR, etc).
The timeline for when this will occur has not yet been determined.

Anomalies:

DOY 209  07/28/2007  S-ACE-0214  G07-0068  Unable to connect to GMUG1
On Saturday at BOT-85 minutes, the MOC was not able to connect to VC1 (port
55551) on GMUG1.  The MOC then connected to the backup GMUG2.  The FOT
called the GSFC Comm Manager to ensure that GMUG2 was the correct GMUG to
use.  GSFC Comm Manager stated that there had been problems with GMUG1.
Later, at Beginning of Track, TPOCC did not receive telemetry from GMUG2.
The FOT arrived at the MOC at BOT+20 minutes and again called the GSFC Comm
Manager.  The GSFC Comm Manager stated that the MOC should connect GMUG1.
IMPACT:  Activities delayed 30 minutes.  FOT needed to travel to MOC to
switch back to GMUG1.
