Maneuvers:

There will be no Lunar Calibration Rolls in April, May, or June for the Terra MODIS. The necessary roll angles are -26.3051, -27.2921, and -22.1398 degrees, respectively; all of which are beyond the -20.0 degree limit.

Terra performed a Drag Make Up (DMU) Maneuver on Tuesday, April 6, 2004 (DOY 2004/097). Time of the maneuver was 18:30:34 GMT and lasted for 20 seconds. Loss of, and regaining of, high fidelity pointing was 17:00:34 GMT and 21:00:34 GMT, respectively.

MODIS Anomalies:

MODIS NAD (Nadir Aperture Door) Anomaly:

Telemetry still indicates that the “NAD Open” (MOD_CR_DR_NAD_OPEN) trigger is set to the “NOT_OPEN” position; however, science data has shown that the NAD is open. The NAD OPEN trigger may yet “pop” to OPEN due to thermal cycling on the trigger, as was seen on 2002/079.

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.

Non-MODIS Significant Events:

Terra Solid State Recorder Anomaly

Overview:

The SSR Anomaly is still under investigation. MODIS currently is operating with 34 Supersets allotted for its buffer. There are plans in the works for possibly power cycling the SSR to get back PWA’s that are in the Bad List, but no date has yet been set. There are no current plans for a change in science data capture rates. For details, see previous reports.
