Maneuvers:
There will be no MODIS roll maneuver in April because the roll angle would have been too great.
The next roll maneuver will be scheduled in May.
An increase in Solar Flux has been noted. As a result, the FOT has planned for a Drag Make Up Maneuver at 2001/095-19:03:00 (4/5/2001) and expects to schedule a follow up possibly a week later based on the final result on the 2001/095 maneuver and the current Solar Flux levels.
MODIS Anomalies:
There appears to be a problem processing the science data collected during the SRCA activities on Friday, March 2nd, 2001 (day 061). Specifically, this may be related to the change in sector sizes for the Solar Diffuser and SRCA. If this is the cause, it will affect data from 061/14:06:30 to 061/18:21:56 GMT. This problem is not yet well understood.
General Instrument Comments:
MODIS is in Science Mode on the B-side with the SVD and NAD open, operating with the Formatter Resolution Flight Software Patches (FRFSP).
MODIS Telemetry Trends:
Temperature trends are correlating with the solar beta angle.
Non-MODIS Significant Events:
On Wednesday, March 28, 2001 (DOY 2001/087), there was a loss of MODIS Science Data. The cause of the data loss was a combination of a failure in a new build of the online software, a failure during switch over to the previous version of the online software, and additional time issues. Compounding these software problems was a hardware failure of a matrix switch at the receiving ground station. As a result, once science data playback had begun, insufficient time remained to dump and clear the MODIS SSR Buffer. The Buffer filled up, and was disabled prior to the next available contact. During the following contact, the science data was replayed, and the buffer cleared and re-enabled. The times of note for the event are:
2001/087-19:57:59 MODIS SSR Buffer – full, disabled
2001/087-19:59:48 MODIS FR Rate to Day (part of nominal ops)
2001/087-19:57:59 MODIS SSR Buffer – replayed, cleared, enabled
5568 EDU Blocks (2201341 CADUs) of data were lost (as the timing shows, the majority were Day Rate samples).
