This Week's Scheduled MODIS Activities Not Completed:

The science mode transition that was scheduled for Monday, January 17th, was postponed. Current plans include a MODIS science transition on Monday, January 24th.

MODIS Anomalies:

The formatter engine temperatures (A and B) continues to cyclically drop below their yellow limits. There are no health and safety risks. These temperatures are varying cyclically with the MEM survival heater duty cycle.

General Instrument Comments:

MODIS is currently in Standby Mode with all three doors unlatched, the space view door at the outgas position, and all outgas heaters turned off. The calibration electronics are powered on the A side due to the recovery process from Safe mode.

MODIS “science data” was transmitted to ground based antennas via the X-band transponder. This science data is not “real” because the MODIS formatter is not powered on and the nadir aperture door is closed.

MODIS Telemetry Trends:

No new trends.

Non-MODIS Significant Events:

2000/019: A +500ms clock adjust was performed to correct the clock error to within one 85ms epoch of predicted error.

The ASTER TIR CPHTS is still not functioning nominally. The CPHTS anomaly resolution is continuing.

Analysis and discussion of the thruster data continues. Sixteen 1 second engineering burns are scheduled for Monday, January 24th.

Limited Life Item Status:

No limited life items were exercised this week. All limited life items are well within lifetime ranges, although precise statistics for each item are still pending.
