ACE Weekly 03/17/06 - 03/23/06 All ACE spacecraft subsystems are performing nominally. ============================================================================ Orbit/Attitude: Type Attitude Date 03/22/06 DOY 081 2006 Thrusters 2R 4R+ 4R- Duration 11:49 min Start Time 15:19:16z Stop Time 15:31:05z Start HGA -5.65 deg Stop HGA 6.58 deg Firing 60 pulses The next attitude maneuver is scheduled for Wednesday 04/05/06. ============================================================================ OCRs: None ============================================================================ Ongoing Activities: Space Link Extension (SLE) - The first version of ACE SLE was delivered to the Library on December 14. The delivery to the ACE MOC will not be until after String 3 is converted to the RIONET. RIONet - String 3 conversion to the RIONet is on hold based on NASCOM's schedule. Attitude Training - The FOT continues training on attitude determination, maneuver planning, and maneuver execution. ============================================================================ Extra Activities: None ============================================================================ Anomalies: DOY 077 (03/18/06) G06-0033 DSS-66 - Incorrect Command Mod Index Post pass analysis of the DSN 0158 Monitor Data revealed an incorrect Cmd Mod Index level of 8.39dB (nominally 1.69dB). DR N103485. IMPACT: The spacecraft RCVR AGC levels dropped significantly everytime a command was sent. All cmds made it to the spacecraft. DOY 077 (03/18/06) S06-0003 SSCPAP5V YL Limit Violation SSCPAP5V had 1 brief yellow low limit violation (YL < 4.25V). 2006-077 19:12:39 - 19:13:16 4.208 Jim Raines notified. IMPACT: Awaiting instructions from Jim Raines. DOY 081 (03/22/06) G06-0034 MOPSS Event Window The Mission Planning Load Generation Event window in MOPSS was blank for unknown reasons. Usually the event window shows when MOPSS receives the maneuver command sheet. IMPACT: The maneuver cmd sheet and procedure were generated and processed without problems. DOY 081 (03/22/06) G06-0035 AC1WS3 Monitor The AC1WS3 monitor was starting to die. Hardware maintance replaced the monitor with a temporary one after the pass. IMPACT: No problems with the pass.
