In addition:

Blackbody calibration: stepped to 315K likely Thursday or Friday (12th/13th)
Electronics calibrations (PV & PC) will be scheduled for the week of the 16th.
A new set of SRCA cross-talk measurements are being planned for later this month and will use memory load patches to change the size of the SRCA sector from 10 frames to 55 frames in the same manner as was done on March 2, 2001.

Maneuvers:

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

Next roll maneuver will be scheduled in May.

A drag make-up maneuver (DMU) was executed on April 5th (Day 2001/095). Due to high solar flux levels, another DMU may be needed within a few weeks.

MODIS Anomalies:

None.

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:

Nothing new to report.

Non-MODIS Significant Events:

None.
