December calibrations include weekly SD/SDSM events, an SRCA Full Radiometric, and a PV Electronics Calibration.

SRCA activities are being developed to measure detector cross talk and will be performed in the near future.

Maneuvers:

The next Aqua MODIS Lunar Calibration via roll maneuver will be on December 14th, 2002 (2002/348). The roll angle will be -1.4207 degrees and the data collection period will be from 22:04:40 to 22:11:10 GMT.

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

The Aqua drag make-up maneuver executed on Thursday, December 12th, 2002 (2002/346). The loss/regain times of pointing accuracy from the maneuver were 2002/346 14:49 to 2002/346 16:29, respectively.

MODIS Anomalies:

On November 7, 2002 (DOY 2002/311), a final patch to the BST was outlined. The two MODIS command slots in the BST that are currently switched will be returned to their original locations. At the same time, the command slots will be given a one sub-minor cycle delay. This will result in the command slots having the desired delay period between themselves, and the bus signals that are believed to have caused the occasional problems with MODIS receiving commands.

A software patch review meeting was held on Friday, December 6th to discuss the testing of the next BST patch. The Aqua FOT and the MODIS IOT will be testing the patch during the week of December 9th.

General Instrument Comments:

FM1 MODIS is in Science Mode. The SVD and NAD are Open, the survival heaters are enabled, and the Black Body is heated to 285 K.

MODIS Telemetry Trends:

The FM1 MODIS instrument telemetry is trending nominally. A slight increase in the radiative cooler intermediate stage temperature has been observed along with a decrease in the focal plane heater power usage. These telemetry points will be closely monitored for additional changes over the next several weeks.
