This Week's Scheduled MODIS Activities Not Completed:

None

Upcoming Week's MODIS Events:

Terra MODIS calibrations for the month of January will include an SRCA Full Radiometric, SRCA Full Spatial, SRCA Full Spectral, Blackbody heating, and biweekly SDSM calibrations.

Maneuvers:

The next MODIS Lunar Calibration via a spacecraft roll maneuver is scheduled for February 3rd, 2002 (2002/032) with data collection from 20:19:21 to 20:25:51. The roll angle will be -3.4357 degrees.

A Drag Make-Up (DMU) maneuver of 17 seconds on Wednesday, January 9, 2002, at 20:12:40 completed successfully.

The next Inclination Adjust Maneuver (2 of 6), a 320-second burn duration, is scheduled for January 16, 2002, at 15:31:30. For this second inclination maneuver, the MODIS doors will only be closed in the event of a failure to return to nominal pointing. A second DMU maneuver is planned for the week after the IAM (date and duration dependent on the results of the IAM).

The IOT has been notified that the Terra Deep Space Calibration Maneuver has been postponed once again. The maneuver is not expected to be performed until late summer of 2002 at the earliest. The reasoning for this delay was to allow the EOS Operations Center (EOC) time to adjust to operating Terra and Aqua spacecraft simultaneously.

MODIS Anomalies:

Formatter Error Events:

The formatter error rate has been fairly steady for the past few weeks with the counter rollover time approximately every seven hours and forty-five minutes.

Error tracking spreadsheets have been updated and can be retrieved from:

ftp://ftp.mcst.ssai.biz/ftp/pub/permanent/IOT/am1/analysis/FR_events/

An MS Excel spreadsheet called, AM1_FR_error_rollovers_MMDDYY.xls contains the data for the times each of the error count "roll over" occurs (with the MMDDYY denoting the date the spreadsheet was made, the more recent date containing the most up-to-date information).

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 (FRFSP).

MODIS Telemetry Trends:

No abnormal telemetry trends are being observed.
