This Week's Scheduled MODIS Activities Not Completed:

None

Upcoming MODIS Events:

Wednesday, May 15, 2002

135/21:34:59 - 22:32:30 ATC OA23: SRCA Full Spatial, side A.

Upcoming calibrations for the month of May include an SRCA Full Radiometric and bi-weekly SD/SDSM calibrations.

Maneuvers:

The next possible MODIS Lunar Calibration will be towards the end of May.

The sixth Terra inclination maneuver has been postponed (originally scheduled for 4/2/2002). The new date for the maneuver is not yet known. The maneuver will only be done if it does not interfere with any Aqua spacecraft launch and activation activities.

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

MODIS Anomalies:

On day of year 128 at 21:11, the formatter EEPROM was loaded with a one word patch. In the event that the formatter is shut down, upon restart, this patch will prevent the formatter from resetting due to the error events.

Formatter Error Events:

The current patches loaded into the MODIS Formatter record the number of formatter error events (but not the address where they occurred). The error rate has increased slightly since the instrument safe mode recovery with up to 200,000 errors occurring per day. For data on the error events, please see the link below.

The most recent error tracking spreadsheets 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_current.xls contains the data for the times each error count 'roll over' occurs.

General Instrument Comments:

MODIS is in A-side Science Mode.

MODIS Telemetry Trends:

All systems appear to be functioning properly. Tracking of the Formatter Error Rate has resumed.
