Upcoming MODIS Events:

The remaining August 2002 calibrations: biweekly SD/SDSM calibrations. A lunar calibration via roll maneuver is also planned for August 27th.

Maneuvers:

The next Terra MODIS Lunar Calibration Roll is scheduled for 2002/239 (August 27, 2002), with data collection from 19:42:42 to 19:48:12 GMT and a roll angle of -6.6816 degrees. The maneuver had to be moved forward an orbit from the previously published times to accommodate work scheduled for the only TDRS Spacecraft in view of Terra for the originally planned roll period.

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 is approaching 51 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 in a WinZip compressed archive called, AM1_FR_error_rollovers_current.zip 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.
