This Week's Scheduled MODIS Activities Not Completed:

None

Upcoming MODIS Events:

Weekly SDSM calibrations.

Maneuvers:

The Deep Space Calibration pitch maneuver(s) have been indefinitely suspended pending mission review.

MODIS Anomalies:

The first two commands of SCS #154, used for the OA-16, SD Screened, SDSM fixed at Sun calibration scheduled for Wednesday, July 10th, were not executed. The two missing commands were MOD_SET_DR_SDD_DRVB and MOD_PERFORM_CP_MACRO NUMBER = 10 (opens the SDD to the screened position). All remaining commands in SCS #154 were processed successfully and this calibration had been successfully performed on orbit three times prior to the anomaly.

No valid command echo was processed by the MODIS instrument for the two missing commands. The Aqua Instrument Support Controller (ISC) and Command and Telemetry Controller (CTC) did not produce any error messages at the time of the missing commands. The memory contents of SCS #154 were dumped and verified to contain the correct commands. At this time, there is no definitive explanation for the dropped commands.

A similar event did occur during thermal-vacuum testing where a single MODIS command within an SCS was not executed. There were three potential causes listed for the error, but no one cause could be isolated to explain the problem. The anomaly investigation is still continuing, but at this time, it is considered safe to resume the weekly OA-16 calibration schedule.

Between 183/15:16:20 and 189/13:40:21, the SMIR Vdet setting was incorrect with a value of 136 instead of 184. When the Aqua spacecraft went to Safe Mode on 2002/178, MODIS was in the middle of performing a SMIR Vdet sweep. The instrument was returned to Science Mode on 2002/183, but the SMIR Vdet setting was not returned to the default value of 184. The SMIR Vdet setting was not reset until the calibrations were re-run on day 189.

5D/77 CP Event Pairs:

  • 68 pairs have been received total.
  • 23 pairs between the first Turn On (DOY 127) and S/C to Survival Mode (DOY 139).
  • 32 pairs between the second Turn On (DOY 144) and Science Mode Transition (DOY 158).
  • 4 pairs between Science Mode Transition (DOY 158) and Safe Mode Transition (DOY 178).
  • 7 pairs between Safe Mode Transition (DOY 178) and Standby Mode Transition (DOY 182).
  • 2 pairs between Standby Mode Transition (DOY 182) and Science Mode Transition (DOY 183).
  • 0 pairs since Science Mode Transition (DOY 183).
  • The last event pair was seen on DOY 183 at 03:24:20.

5D Single CP Event:

  • No 77 following message, no related MODIS commanding in proximity.
  • 3 single events have been received, times listed below.
  • DOY 162 at 14:16:59 (roughly 92 hours after Science Mode transition).
  • DOY 166 at 20:44:46 (midway between the 10.4 and 13 degree yaw maneuvers, not during).
  • DOY 167 at 14:27:50 (no commands in near proximity).

77 Single CP Event:

  • No 5D preceding message, no related MODIS commanding in proximity.
  • 3 single event has been received, time listed below.
  • DOY 164 at 00:35:39 (64 seconds after CP Macro 9, SDD to Close, in an SD/SDSM Screened, SDSM fixed at Sun, calibration. The macro was still running when the event occurred).
  • DOY 175 at 23:00:04 (84 seconds after CP Macro 11, SDD to Open, in an SD/SDSM Open, SDSM fixed at SD, calibration. The macro was still running when the event occurred).
  • DOY 177 at 21:26:36 (30 seconds after the SDSM was commanded to its home position, in an SD/SDSM Open, SDSM fixed at SD, calibration. The SDSM was still moving when the event occurred).

5D Yaw Maneuver Events:

  • 28 single 5D event messages were observed throughout the SD/SDSM Yaw Maneuvers.
  • Each of these events occurred within 5 to 10 seconds after a sector rotation (to -3400) command for the SD/SDSM calibrations.
  • An event did not occur for every calibration, and some calibrations resulted in two 5D events.

General Instrument Comments:

FM1 MODIS is in Science Mode. The SVD and NAD are Open. The Black Body is powered and set at 285K. The Cold Focal Planes are controlling to 83K.

MODIS Telemetry Trends:

MODIS FM1 temperatures have returned to their nominal Science Mode profile trends after the return to Science Mode on DOY 2002/183.

Non-MODIS Significant Events:

None.
