Maneuvers:

The next MODIS lunar calibration will be on July 18, 2003 (DOY 2003/199). The roll angle will be -10.3692 degrees, and data collection will be from 03:14:57-03:21:27 GMT.

Three Terra inclination maneuvers were originally planned for July 8, August 5, and August 7, 2003. For each inclination maneuver, a contingency activity will be scheduled in the stored command load to close the MODIS Space View and Nadir doors prior to entering daylight following the maneuver, but the commands will be inhibited after the spacecraft successfully returns to a nominal attitude. See below for a report of the progress of the Inclination Maneuvers.

The July 8, 2003 (DOY 2003/189) Terra Inclination Maneuver was postponed. The cause was the unavailable TDRS Coverage for the maneuver contact. TDRS 275 had gone into safe mode the previous day, limiting contact coverage. The Inclination Maneuver was rescheduled to July 10, 2003 (DOY 2003/191).

The July 10, 2003 (DOY 2003/191) Terra Inclination Maneuver was aborted. The cause was the CRP (Command Return Processor) Unix machine rebooted itself just before the burn. Command and Telemetry data was lost for about 5 minutes while the CRP was restarting. Once the CRP was restarted there was not enough time to do the real time commanding. The stored commands then slewed the spacecraft back to its nominal pointing. There currently is no rescheduled date for the maneuver.

The times of the low fidelity pointing and yaw period for DOY 2003/192 are listed below.

2003/191 14:02:00 Low Fidelity Pointing
2003/191 15:33:45 -90 degree Yaw Start
2003/191 16:03:29 +90 degree Yaw End
2003/191 17:35:00 High Fidelity Pointing

MODIS Anomalies:

None

General Instrument Comments:

MODIS is in Science Mode, using all A-side components, but cross-strapped to Formatter B, with the blackbody maintained at 290K and the Solar Diffuser Door at the Screened position.

MODIS Telemetry Trends:

Nominal telemetry trending is ongoing.
