ACE Weekly 11/18/2009 - 11/24/2009

All ACE spacecraft subsystems are performing nominally.  The current
downlink format is LowRate ADC.  The downlink format will be switched
back to RTSW on DOY 329 at 1900z.  This does not affect the recorded
science data.

DOY 328 11/24/2009 - Multi-Mission Operations Center (MMOC) Pass
The normal tracking pass scheduled with DSS-24 was taken from the MMOC.
All nominal commanding was performed from the new ITOS system with
automatic procedure execution.  The DOY 328 data will not be available
in the legacy (TLM-3-27) format.  The ACE Science Center needed to
update their data processing software to simultaneously handle the DOY
328 0161 format and the DOY 327/329 TLM-3-27 format.  Attitude and clock
reports were generated using the old software in the ACE MOC.  At the
end of the pass, the spacecraft was commanded to LowRate ADC instead of
RTSW.  The anomaly report will be included in next week's report.
