ACE Weekly Report 12-05-01 All ACE spacecraft subsystems are performing nominally. An attitude and a StationKeeping maneuver were successfully performed on 11/29/01. The next attitude maneuver is scheduled for 12/07/01. OCR CRIS-011 was executed on 11/27/01 to turn on the Image Intensifier. OCR SWPX-033 was executed on 11/30/01 to adjust the auto overcount safing threshold parameter. OCR SEP-099 was executed on 12/04/01 to increase the SEPICA 30kV setpoint from 19 to 21 (dec). This raised it from 3.8kV to 4.2 kV. The 11/24/01 ACE support was rescheduled on 11/23/01 from Station D24 to D27 to accommodate a Genesis project request. There was no impact to operations. FOT Checkout of String 1 continues. This should be completed by 12/19/01. Three 26m Automation demos were performed on 11/14/01 and 11/15/01; one with each DSN site. The FOT has completed its analysis and generated a summary reports with their results. Once issues raised during the demos are addressed, additional demos will be scheduled. Anomalies: 11/22/01 AR# G01-0123 MOC experienced ~2.5 minute telemetry dropout at the start of the D27 support. Station notified and problem resolved by DSN. Commanding delayed ~2.5 minutes. 11/22/01 AR# G01-0124 MOC experienced telemetry dropout when antenna stopped tracking spacecraft. Station D27 notified and telemetry returned ~13 minutes. All affected SSR slices were redumped during the support. No additional problems were experienced (DR# G100533). 11/26/01 AR# G01-0125 FOT detected MOC Clock Calibration file was corrupted at BOT. A backup is made daily of the Clock Calibration file prior to its being updated; the backup copy of the file was used. The system was recycled and there were no additional problems during the support. 11/27/01 AR# G01-0126 MOC Calibration File corrupted. FOT failed to remove corrupted files from the directory following the 11/26/01 anomaly per policy. The Clock Calibration file is updated during prepass activities using a delivered script and the previous two days of raw observation files. Since the raw observation file for 11/25/01 was corrupted, this then caused the Clock Calibration file to become corrupted on 11/27/01 when the script was run. FOT removed raw data files and deleted the erroneous entry in the file. The system was recycled and there were no additional problems during the support. 11/29/01 AR# G01-0128 MOC experienced degraded telemetry throughout the D66 support. Station notified, channels switched and TGCs swapped. While quality did improve, it was still degraded. Insufficient time in support to redump all affected SSR slices. Remaining data will be redumped during the next support (DR# M100320). 12/03/01 AR# G01-0130 D27 contacted the MOC during the support and asked if commands were being sent to the site. The MOC was not. Once the alarm was cleared at the site, FOT verified command link via transmission of no_op command (DR# G100573).
