Maneuvers:

The Drag Make Up Maneuver occurred as scheduled on Wednesday, May 8, 2001 (OPS DOY 2001/128). Time of the maneuver was 20:20:30 with an 18 second duration. The loss and re- acquisition of pointing accuracy period is 18:50:30-21:50:30.

There will be no MODIS Lunar Roll Maneuver in May because the roll angle would have been too great (more than 20-degree roll required). The next attempt for a roll maneuver will be June.

The next MODIS Lunar Roll Maneuver is scheduled for June 10, 2001. Center time of the roll is currently set at 23:10:40 for a roll of -20.0293 degrees.

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:

Telemetry is trending nominally.

Non-MODIS Significant Events:

MISR Anomaly:

MISR went to Safe Mode at 2001/125-00:07:14 while attempting to move their Goniometer. The MISR IOT executed several procedures trying to move the Goniometer to +58 degrees. This position exceeded a software range of +40 degrees causing the computer to stop the Goniometer after 25 seconds. The instrument was in Global Mode at the time and all of the additional processing caused an overload of the computer putting MISR in Survival Mode.

After determining no harm had been caused to the instrument, MISR's PROM was reset on DOY 128. MISR's Flight Software was reloaded on DOY 130. As of approximately 2001/131-10:00, MISR has returned to nominal operations.

MOPITT Anomaly:

MOPITT's Displacement Side B position went Red (at 2001/127-04:07) during a Real-Time contact on DOY 127. The Flight Controllers sent the Red Limit Response procedure to Safe the Instrument (at 2001/127-04:18).

After analyzing telemetry history, the MOPITT team has determined the event was not critical. MOPITT has been commanded into its Standby Mode. The MOPITT IOT plans to transition out of Standby to Science Mode sometime next week pending final analysis verification.
