Noteworthy IOT FTP Directories/Files

• AM-1 MODIS (PFM) Thermal Vac (TVAC). Telemetry archive from the pre-launch TVAC tests (2/11/1998-3/16/1998). Notice: This file is almost 21MB in size.
• AM-1 MODIS (PFM) Power Supply 2 (PS2) Anomaly. Several tables and plot files used in the resolution of the PS2 Anomaly (06/15/2000) investigation. The files you will find there are in both their "natural" and compressed form. Unless you have time and bandwidth to spare or can not decompress the WinZip files, only download the archived (zip) version of each file.
• AM-1 MODIS (PFM) Formatter Anomaly. Record of the Formatter Memory Patch error logging since the PS2 Anomaly (06/15/2000). The spreadsheet contains graphs relating to the total formatter errors detected, the rate the errors are occuring at, and the daily and monthly change in the error rate. The link provided should link to the most recent version of the file. If the data seems a bit out of data, then you can check the FR Events directory. In that directory you will see a group of files named "AM1_FR_error_rollovers_XXXXXX.xls", where XXXXXX is the Month/Day/Year timestamp for the file. The "current" file might not link to the most recent version. Also located in that directory are several support files such as temperature tables related to error rates. The additional files are not maintained at the same frequence as the primary "error_rollovers" spreadsheets.
