Mission Operations Days: 2002/201 to 2002/207
July 20, 2002 00:00:00 GMT to July 26, 2002 00:00:00 GMT


Note: This report officially only covers up through 20:00 GMT on July 26th, but shortly thereafter, at 21:19 there was an anomaly of C&DH TAXI overflow errors. It appears that the errors were only being received while the MODIS blackbody duty cycle was at FULL (100%) and the blackbody temperature had stabilized at one of the temperature plateaus. At the nominal operating conditions (290K, duty cycle = THIRD) no overflow errors are being reported.

Maneuvers:

The next Terra MODIS Lunar Calibration Roll is scheduled for 2002/210 (July 29, 2002), with dta collection from 05:11:33 to 05:18:03 GMT and a roll angle of -7.7199 degrees.

The sixth Terra inclination adjust maneuver has been pushed back to an unspecified date in September to facilitate Lockheed Martin development at Valley Forge for products to support long term planning of possible future inclination maneuvers.

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 current patches loaded into the MODIS Formatter, record the number of formatter error events, but not the address where they occurred. The error rate was last noted at nearly 37 million errors per day.

Intermittent bad frame count formatter event messages (xx1B) are being observed. This is one of the event messages being used to warn of potential impacts to the science data. The MODIS halt memory transfer command is being sent after each 1B-event message. This command triggers both a CP and FR event message and thus "clears" the current MOD_SS_FR_LAST_EVENT message of the xx1B value.

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 with the blackbody maintained at 290K.

MODIS Telemetry Trends:

All systems appear to be functioning properly. Tracking of the Formatter Error Rate is continuing.
