Maneuvers:

The January Lunar Calibration Roll will be on day 2005/030 (January 30, 2005). Data collect will be from 09:43:03-09:49:33 GMT with a roll angle of –4.6573 degrees.

MODIS Anomalies:

SRCA Lamp #2 failure:

On day 2004/327 (11/22/04), Terra MODIS performed a special SRCA 10W continuous calibration with the filter in the OPEN position. However, it was noticed by MCST that Lamp #2 shut down approximately halfway through it's scheduled on time (55 minutes, 3 seconds of the 109 minute duration). The exact cause of this unexpected shutdown is not known at this time, nor is the final course of action to be taken. This anomaly does not affect normal SRCA operations.

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 report am1weekly_2003-305_2003-311.doc. The Terra FOT is currently evaluating plans to perform a power recycling of the SSR in an attempt to regain functionality of the “bad” PWAs. This activity will be performed at a time when it is least detrimental to critical science data.
