This Week's Scheduled MODIS Activities Not Completed:

Wednesday, February 6, 2002

2002/037 16:10:27 ATC MOD_CLOSE_NAD_SVD Close the NAD and SVD if the spacecraft does not return to nominal pointing after the inclination burn.

Upcoming Week's MODIS Events:

SDSM fixed sun/SD calibrations will be scheduled for Wednesday, February 13th (2002/044).

An SRCA Full Radiometric A-side calibration will be scheduled for Wednesday, February 13th (2002/044).

A flight software patch will be loaded to the instrument to correct a known problem which allows time values in the MODIS data headers to have a value of 1000 (milliseconds) when the maximum should be 999. EDOS discards data that have invalid time values in the data headers.

Maneuvers:

This week's roll maneuver performed nominally. The next MODIS Lunar Calibration via a spacecraft roll maneuver is scheduled for March 3rd, 2002 (DOY 2002/062) with data collection from 07:12:11 to 07:18:41. The roll angle will be -13.0011 degrees.

A 30 second Drag Make-Up (DMU) maneuver is planned for Tuesday, February 12th, 2002 (2002/043) at 18:38 GMT.

There has been a change to the Terra inclination maneuver schedule. A new constraint has been imposed to have the maneuvers completed prior to the launch of the Aqua spacecraft (currently 4-18-02). The new inclination maneuver dates are February 26th, March 5th, March 19th, and April 4th, 2002. This new plan violates a previous constraint of not performing more than two maneuvers in any 7-week period. Therefore, Flight Dynamics products for dates beyond the next two maneuvers will have inaccuracies.

The Terra Deep Space Calibration Maneuver is still postponed. The maneuver date is not expected until late summer of 2002.

MODIS Anomalies:

Formatter Error Events:

The Formatter Error Rate is still increasing with a buffer rollover time of about five hours and forty minutes. The fifteen slot buffer that records the flight software address executing at the time of the error has been filling much more quickly. This buffer was previously filling over a matter of weeks, but now all fifteen slots are being used within two days. At this time, the buffer is full and no new addresses are being recorded. A flight software patch may be loaded to the instrument to increase the size of the buffer. This is still under investigation.

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

ftp://ftp.mcst.ssai.biz/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.
