ACE Weekly 05/28/2008 - 06/03/2008 All ACE spacecraft subsystems are performing nominally. ============================================================================ Orbit/Attitude: Type Attitude Date 06/02/2008 DOY 154 2008 Thrusters 2R 4R+ 4R- Duration 13:52 min Start 17:09:01z Stop 17:22:53z HGAStart -6.90deg HGAStop +7.33deg SunStart 15.87deg SunStop 5.11deg Nutation 0.42deg Firing 71 pulses FuelUsed 0.2285lbs FuelRemain 149.6924lbs FinalSCMass 1383.952lbs The next attitude maneuver is scheduled for Friday 06/13/2008. =========================================================================== OCRs: DOY 154 (06/02/2008) GND-192 Discontinued - Two Person Commanding The requirement for two-person commanding has been re-instated. Two people will again be required for maneuvers and special commanding. DOY 155 (06/03/2008) SEP-071 30kV Discharge Flag Cleared The SBS30KVRESET command to clear the 30kV discharge flag was sent 17:10:59z. The flag was set on DOY 146 2008 at 17:20:01z. SSS30KV and SSS30KI, however, remained at nominal values (4.04V and 41.5mA). ============================================================================ Activities: There have been no updates on the JPL ISO router problem that resulted in several lost ACE passes in May (DOY 124-126 and DOY 134). ============================================================================ Anomalies: DOY 149 05/28/2008 S-ACE-0324 G08-0061 AC1WS1 Display Failure AC1WS1 workstation monitor failed. Hardware maintenance was notified and replaced the monitor. IMPACT: Hardware failures have increased in 2008 but have been manageable. DOY 154 06/02/2008 S-ACE-0325 G08-0062 DSS-24 Communication to Exciter At 1722z, DSS-24 lost commanding capability when communications to exciter failed. Station reset the exciter at and uplink was re-established at 1805z. DR#G108644 IMPACT: Minimal. No commanding was necessary during this time. Redumps of data gaps will be performed on the following pass. DOY 154 06/02/2008 S-ACE-0326 G08-0063 AC3WS2 & AC3WS3 Display Failure Two workstation monitors have failed. Hardware maintenance has been notified. IMPACT: Hardware failures have increased in 2008 but have been manageable.
