This Week's Scheduled MODIS Activities Not Completed:

Tuesday, March 5, 2002

2002/064 15:48:50-15:50:31 ATC MOD_CLOSE_NAD_SVD.1 IAM Contingency to close the SVD and NAD before S/C Day. (This activity is scheduled -00:01:40 prior to S/C_Night/Day on orbit 11771, sequence 1, with a duration of 101 seconds.)
This activity was not performed due to the return slew completing nominally.

Upcoming Week's MODIS Events:

Bi-weekly SDSM activity.
Monthly SRCA Radiometric calibration activity.
Bi-monthly SRCA Spatial calibration activity.

Maneuvers:

There will be no MODIS Lunar Calibration at the beginning of April because the required roll angle will exceed the allowable limit.

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 April 18, 2002). The (remaining) new inclination maneuver dates are 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 twenty minutes. The current error-logging plan to only monitor the first 15 noted addresses was deemed the best monitoring approach at present. Therefore, the current limit of 15 addresses will continue to be used.

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) and a Formatter Time Code Patch.

MODIS Telemetry Trends:

No abnormal telemetry trends are being observed.
