ACE Weekly 05/28/2014 - 06/03/2014 All ACE spacecraft subsystems are performing as expected. ======================================================================== Orbit/Attitude: Type Attitude Date 06/03/2014 DOY 154 2014 Thrusters 2R 4R+ 4R- Duration 7:22 min Start 18:32:56z Stop 18:38:18z ra,decStart 76.11,37.59 ra,decStop 82.17,39.11 ra,decExpect 82.40,39.11 Deviation 0.18 deg HGAStart -10.04 deg HGAStop +10.99 deg SunStart 15.85 deg SunStop 19.19 deg SpinStart 4.9946 rpm SpinStop 4.9957 rpm Nutation 0.07 deg Firing 27 pulses FuelUsed 0.0901 lbm FuelRemain 106.4168 lbm FinalSCMass 1341.677 lbm The next attitude maneuver is scheduled for 06/10/2014. This attitude maneuver reached the expected target. The problems that were seen in May did not occur for this maneuver. The investigation continues. ======================================================================== OCRs: None ======================================================================== Activities: Data Capture: 100% DOY 145-152 2014 NOAA Space Weather Prediction Center (SWPC) received 2.9 hours of tracking from AFSCN (148 1220-1515z), which is routed through the MMOC. The last use of AFSCN was on 5/8/2014, but sent less than 1 minute of data. The last successful use of AFSCN was 1/6/2014 (2302-0155z). ======================================================================== Anomalies: DOY 148 05/28/2014 S-ACE-0677 G14-0005 DSS-15 Earth Receive Time DSS-15 Earth Receive Time was behind by 0.275 seconds after the spacecraft switched to the high data rate (1 frame every 0.091 seconds). This is an intermittent problem (DR# G114836/AR 118839) with the Receiver, Ranging, and Telemetry (RRT) software v11.3.6 at Goldstone. DSN has a workaround for this problem which is to halt and re-acquire the TLP after the data rate change. This may not have been performed for this pass. An email has been sent to the DSN NOPEs (Network Operations Project Engineers) informing them of the recurrence. This last occurred 5/20/2014. IMPACT: Clock report for DOY 148 manually regenerated with bad data excluded and sent to the ACE Science Center.
