The data will be used in preparing for the DSCOVR mission. Another test is scheduled for 1/15. 01/08/2015 DOY 008 1630-1735z (uplink at spacecraft -115dB, 9m) 01/09/2015 DOY 009 1800-1910z (uplink at spacecraft -107dB, 13m) ACE has had 2 passes with WS1 so far in January (1/8 and 1/10). Two more passes are schedule for coming week (1/17 and 1/18). More WS1 passes will be scheduled as DSN time is limited during the DSCOVR launch. ======================================================================== Anomalies: None
