For 3 weeks in May/June 2013, DSN downlink signal strength measurements (at the low data rate) were sent to the NOAA team so that they could perform simultaneous measurements with their antenna. NOAA found the data to be immensely helpful and has requested another few weeks of data starting 2/10/2014. ======================================================================== Anomalies: None
