============================================================================
OCRs:

None

The Sepica team is reviewing power-cycling Sepica to induce a gas valve to
open.  An OCR is pending from the team.


============================================================================
Ongoing Activities:

Clock Calibration - TPOCC v5.3 engineering release checkout has been
completed.  The official delivery is expected 11/09/2006.  The official
delivery will be regression tested on string 3, then installed on strings 1
and 2.  Three DRs will be fixed in this release.
	DR 22309 - Extend the number of years in the Clock Calibration file.
	DR 22411 - Clock Calibration Numerical Error
	DR 22446 - Increase precision of offset in clock report.

Automation - Two DRs have been written against the ROBOTT SPS release
delivered September 14, 2006.  The DRs will need to be fixed before the DSN
transition to SPS.
	DR 22588 - Password Requirement for SPS Schedule Request
	DR 22590 - FOT Unable to Modify JPL Password File on DDS
The next full ROBOTT release is not expected until after the TPOCC/Clock
Calibration release.

RIONET - The transition to the RIONET on String 3 will occur until after the
next ROBOTT delivery.

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.


============================================================================
Extra Activities:

DOY 304 (10/31/2006) - No pass was available due to limited time available
on DSN.  The impacts are
	* SSR failover on DOY 305  11/01/2006.
	* 31 seconds of data loss during the SSR failover.
	* No clock calibration report for DOY 304 and DOY 305
	* No attitude orbit report for DOY 304.

DSN NOPEs are updating the ACE SOEs to allow more time between acquiring the
uplink and enabling the Command Modulation.  This problem was documented
with DR#G107153.

A ground system contingency exercise is scheduled for DOY 311 (11/07/2006).

============================================================================
Anomalies:

DOY 300 (10/27/2006)  S-ACE-0055 (G06-0099) - Late Acquisition with D46
Ground station was not able to configure for telemetry due to problems with
the SOE format.  DR #C105287
IMPACT: Activities delayed 20 minutes.

DOY 301 (10/28/2006)  S-ACE-0056 (G06-0100) - Late Acquisition with D46
Ground station was not able to configure for telemetry due to problems with
the SOE.  DR #N103933
IMPACT: Activities delayed 13 minutes.

DOY 303 (10/30/2006)  S-ACE-0057 (G06-0101) - Incorrect Schedule Request for
SPS
The ROBOTT/DDS software does not send the password for the SOAP Schedule
Request.  On 10/25/06, JPL started requiring the password in the SOAP
Request.
IMPACT:  A ROBOTT/DDS fix will need to be delivered before DSN transitions
to SPS.

DOY 306 (11/02/2006)  S-ACE-0058 (G06-0102) - ROBOTT/C&C Froze
ROBOTT froze after procedure S_OPS_PLBK_COMPLETE completed (EOT-5minutes).
RTMON restart not performed since 5 minutes before End of Track.
CDSID#00021192
IMPACT:  This is a recurring issue that the ROBOTT developers are aware of.
Procedure G_ACEDOWN executed manually.
