ACE Weekly 08/11/06 - 08/17/06 All ACE spacecraft subsystems are performing nominally. ============================================================================ Orbit/Attitude: Type Attitude Attitude Date 08/11/2006 08/17/2006 DOY 223 2006 229 2006 Thrusters 2R 4R- 4R+ 2R 4R- 4R+ Duration 9:06 min 6:32 min Start 16:48:51z 16:01:36z Stop 16:57:57z 16:08:08z StartHGA 4.45 deg 3.52 deg StopHGA 6.08 deg 6.20 deg Firing 46 pulses 33 pulses FinalSCMass 1396.010lbs 1395.894lbs The next attitude maneuver is scheduled for Wednesday, 08/23/06. ============================================================================ OCRs: None ============================================================================ Ongoing Activities: Attitude Training - The FOT continues training on attitude determination, maneuver planning, and maneuver execution. The transition date is tentatively scheduled for 08/18/06. RIONET - The transition to the RIONET on String 3 will tentatively occur around mid-September. Space Link Extension (SLE) - ACE SLE version 2.1 was delivered to the Library on April 28, 2006. The delivery to the ACE MOC will not occur until after the MOC is converted to the RIONET. Multi-Mission MOC - The FOT has begun supporting the effort to determine the feasibility of transferring to a multi-mission MOC. Automation - Development for the next ROBOTT automation release in ongoing on String 3. A ROBOTT SPS release is expected no later than September 18. ============================================================================ Extra Activities: None ============================================================================ Anomalies: DOY 223 (08/11/06) S06-0010 - S3DPU_CONV_SEC_I RH Limit Violation S3DPU_CONV_SEC_I had 1 brief red high limit violation (RH > 480 mV). 2006-223 17:55:32 - 17:55:34 486.328 mV Mark Popecki was notified. IMPACT: Unknown at this time. DOY 223 (08/11/06) G06-0075 - ROBOTT - Color Allocation Error The FOT ran g_auto_pages.prc on AC1WS3 prior to ROBOTT initiating C&C, which caused the color allocation problem. IMPACT: The FOT had to 'ok' a dialog box before C&C came up. Everything ran ok during the pass. The FOT will now wait until after C&C is initialized to run g_auto_pages. DOY 229 (08/17/06) G06-0076 - DSS66 - Late Uplink/No Ranging DSS66 had a 14 minute delay in acquiring the uplink. There were problems with the SRA so no ranging was performed throughout the pass. DR M103818 IMPACT: Delay in commanding. No ranging. All telemetry received and commands verified by the spacecraft.
