MODIS Anomalies:

None.

General Instrument Comments:

MODIS is in Science Mode on the B-side with the SVD open and BB heating to 285K. Solar Diffuser Door opened to the screened and full open position nominally. (And there was much rejoicing!)

Orbit attainment burns are proceeding nominally.

MODIS Telemetry Trends:

Telemetry is nominal.

Non-MODIS Significant Events:

2000/041 21:15 - 60s orbit attainment burn
2000/043 12:26 - Replay of data was not done because buffer had already overwritten it. There will be a data gap here abouts.
2000/043 14:24 - Replay of data was not done because buffer had already overwritten it. There will be a data gap here abouts.

The following is the currently planned burn schedule to place Terra into her final orbit (the times are in GMT). Note that these times have been updated since yesterday’s report. Data loss is expected around every burn.

Limited Life Item Status:

All limited life items are well within lifetime ranges. The precise statistics for each item have been received from LMMS/Valley Forge and will be incorporated next week.
