MODIS Anomalies:

We had a red alarm at 2000/058 09:50:24 for MOD_VR_PVLW_RN5V. This has been a noisy tlm point all along, but a red alarm is new and unusual. This point was red for one cycle (65 sec) and then cleared. Things have been nominal ever since. No activities were executing at that time. Had the red limit safing procedure been run, Macro 0 would have executed resulting in MODIS exiting Science Mode. Macro 0 turns off the scan assembly, timing generator, all OBCs, etc.

General Instrument Comments:

MODIS is in Science Mode on the A-side with the SVD and NAD open. Functional checkout of MODIS is complete and was successful. All mechanisms behaved nominally.

First light occurred at 2000/055 15:27:09

MODIS Telemetry Trends:

Telemetry is nominal.

Non-MODIS Significant Events:

On 2000-062 (22:00-23:00): A telemetry loss occurred just as a MODIS science data playback was beginning. Initial beliefs for the cause was an infringement on the MMS planning products “gray zone” for contact times. It appears that the attempted contact duration was slightly more aggressive than the S/C to TDRSS connection would allow. Before the next contact, the MODIS SSR buffer filled up, since it was pretty full when the previous contact was lost. In the process of doing an unscheduled science playback, to pick up what the previous failed playback missed, the sync-up with Whitesands did not transpire correctly and the playback was not recorded. By that time, loss of signal occurred for the short pass. At the beginning of the next pass, a successful playback was executed. So the times that there will be no science data for MODIS is: 2000-062-22:11:42.570 to 2000-062-22:54:25.644 (just shy of 43 minutes)

The transition to normal operations continues as the FOT has begun running our morning status meeting as Project Leads begin the handover.

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.
