This will be the third consecutive year for this summer campaign. The HGA constraint change will effectively allow slightly higher sun angles, which in turn will improve the SWEPAM-I density measurement. The FOT began using the 11 degree constraint with the attitude maneuver on 6/07/2016. The campaign is tentatively scheduled to conclude September 2016. ======================================================================== Activities: Data Capture: 100% DOY 151 - 164 2016 ======================================================================== Anomalies: None =========================================== Jacqueline Maldonado Snell WIND, Geotail and ACE Flight Operations Team Manager Honeywell Technology Solutions Incorporated (HTSI) Goddard Space Flight Center Bldg. 14 Rm N284, Mailstop 428.2 Greenbelt, MD 20771 Office: 301-286-7072 Cell: 443-896-8868 Fax: 301-286-8257 Email: Jacqueline.M.Snell@nasa.gov
