Upcoming MODIS Events:
MODIS will recover from Safe Mode once the MODIS team is comfortable that the instrument won’t be back in Safe Mode in the near future. The schedule for this transition will be discussed once several orbit attainment burns have been successfully completed.
MODIS Anomalies:
Many transient red and yellow alarms were triggered during the transition to science mode. The limit violation which took the longest to clear was for MOD_TA_PV_SM_PWB5_11. This temperature sensor is noticably colder (~4 to 12K) than the other 5 SAM MUX temperatures.
Also during the transition to Science Mode, the command and data handling people received two errors related to MODIS; SFE data overflow errors and taxi errors. In addition, EDOS noticed 89 time jumps in the science data. Both the SFE and time jump errors lasted until approximately 10 minutes after the science mode transition procedure had completed.
General Instrument Comments:
MODIS is currently in Safe Mode with all three doors closed and unlatched. The timing generator is powered on the B side due to the transition to Safe Mode from Science 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.
The load and dump of a sample macro 31 table were successful. In addition, a dump of table 18 (most recent door position trigger values) was dumped to verify the number of steps the space view door moved during the open and close processes.
MODIS Telemetry Trends:
MODIS focal planes started controlling at 83K approximately 45 hours after the transition to Science Mode.
Non-MODIS Significant Events:
2000/025: An SSR failure prevented further capture of MODIS science data. No further data was collected prior to transition to Safe Mode. Approximately 6 hours of the 9 hours of science data produced before the SSR anomaly occurred were captured and distributed to the GDAAC.
2000/026: Spacecraft and instruments sent to Safe Mode due to anomaly during 1.024 second burn.
Analysis and discussion of the thruster data continues. The burn schedule continues to be in a state of flux.
Limited Life Item Status:
The Space View Door was closed. All limited life items are well within lifetime ranges, although precise statistics for each item are still pending.
