Maneuvers:

The next Drag Make Up maneuver will occur on DOY 178. It will be a 16 second burn beginning at approximately 19:05.

The next MODIS Lunar Roll Calibration is scheduled for DOY 191 from 15:07:42 to 15:14:12. This roll has the obvious prerequisite that MODIS must successfully from its Power Supply 2 Anomaly (described below).

MODIS Anomalies:

On June 15th, 2001, at 03:56:08 GMT, MODIS experienced an anomaly.

The Flight Operations Team paged the on-call MODIS engineer reporting a trip of TMON #68, the MODIS double FIFO write TMON. In addition, many red limit violations were reported. Inspection of telemetry showed peculiar states including a CP mode of INVALID and the MODIS model as ENGINEERING. With all telemetry suspect, the MODIS IOT commanded the instrument to low-power mode (using MOD_ALL_OFF) at 05:16:43.

Investigation is still pending, but below is the current understanding of the event:

Continued telemetry analysis showed that the TMON itself did not trip, but rather, it went into an error state because it was receiving stale telemetry. At the anomaly time, all telemetry “pegged out”, and the telemetry headers stopped incrementing (thus explaining the error reported by the TMON).

Science data stopped being recorded on the SSR at the same time the housekeeping telemetry “pegged out”. This suggests that it was NOT a 1553 Bus communication problem between MODIS and the spacecraft, but rather something that would affect both housekeeping and science data.

At the time of the anomaly, the EPS feed current to MODIS (an external spacecraft point) dropped from ~1.5 Amps to 0.07 Amps suggesting that all MODIS components, with the exception of the power supply, powered down at that time.

An Anomaly review/recovery team has been assembled and has begun holding daily meetings to determine the cause, and recovery path from this anomaly.

General Instrument Comments:

MODIS is currently powered off in Survival Mode. The Survival Heaters are cycling as expected. Return to an operational mode is currently pending the outcome of the MODIS Power Supply 2 Anomaly.

MODIS Telemetry Trends:

Telemetry is trending nominally. The amount of power required by the focal plane heater to maintain 83.0K is still slowly decreasing, although the spacecraft is currently near the minimum absolute solar beta angle for the year.

Voltage, current and temperature trending over the previous month, in addition to selected past time periods is currently underway to support the resolution of the MODIS Power Supply 2 Shut Down Anomaly.

Non-MODIS Significant Events:

MOPITT Anomaly:

The MOPITT team is still working to recover their instrument to science operations.
