Maneuvers:

Delta-V maneuver performed on TERRA from 073/17:55:00 – 073/20:20:00.

There will be no MODIS roll maneuver in April because the roll angle would have been too great.

The next roll maneuver will be scheduled in May.

MODIS Anomalies:

There appears to be a problem processing the science data collected during the SRCA activities on Friday, March 2nd, 2001 (day 061). Specifically, this may be related to the change in sector sizes for the Solar Diffuser and SRCA. If this is the cause, it will affect data from 061/14:06:30 to 061/18:21:56 GMT. This problem is not yet well understood.

General Instrument Comments:

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

MODIS Telemetry Trends:

Temperature trends are correlating with the solar beta angle.

Non-MODIS Significant Events:

None
