This Week's Scheduled MODIS Activities Not Completed:

None

This Month's Upcoming MODIS Events:

 

Calibrations for December 2012 and the beginning of January 2013 will be a Lunar Roll (DOY 338), an SRCA Radiometric (DOY 338), an SDSM Screened (DOY 346), a Black Body Cycle (DOY 347), a Nighttime Day Mode Observation (DOY 352), a PV Ecal (DOY 365), an SRCA Radiometric (DOY 366), an SDSM Screened (DOY 001), and a Lunar Roll (DOY 002).

Maneuvers:

None

 

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.

Non-MODIS Significant Events:

The EMOS mission status webpage (which includes instrument data loss records) can be found at the following URL. Note that a password is now required to access the EOS mission links web pages. There are directions at the URL below for how to obtain a username/password.

Following the Inclination Maneuver on DOY 2009/286 (10/13/09), Terra experienced a Hex Bay Battery (BBAT) cell #50 failure and simultaneously (or close to same time) experienced a Battery Heater Control Electronic anomaly which prevents controlling the temperature for 5 of the 9 heater groups within BBAT. Cell #50 has failed and is non-recoverable. Battery temperatures have stabilized and battery cell temperatures are within an acceptable range. Terra has a robust power system with two 54 cell batteries that feed a power control system that maintains a stable 120V spacecraft power bus even if multiple cells fail. At this point in time the Terra Battery Anomaly is not affecting science data collection and all MODIS systems are nominal. There has been little if any impact to operations since the issue began. All operations are nominal.
