Maneuvers:

The next roll maneuver to view the moon through the space view port is scheduled for September 18th (2000-262, 05:29:56 - 05:16:44 GMT).

MODIS Anomalies:

The formatter anomaly investigation has continued At approximately 8:00pm EDT August 19th, the formatter errors ceased occurring. There are currently 9 unique error addresses recorded by the Formatter, and a total error count of 2183. The A-Side Formatter is operating at approx. - 0.3C.

The LWIR CFPA temperature control has been restored. The temperature is holding within +/- 0.02K of the set-point of 83K. The LWIR CFPA heater voltage is cycling with orbital variations of +/- 0.5V around 6.0V.

MCST is establishing automatic long term trending and critical telemetry point monitoring to track the lasting results of the two recent anomaly resolutions.

General Instrument Comments:

MODIS is in Science Mode on the A-side with the SVD and NAD open, operating with the Formatter Resolution Flight Software Patches.

MODIS Telemetry Trends:

See MODIS Anomalies above.

Non-MODIS Significant Events:

None
