ACE Weekly 03/26/2014 - 04/01/2014 All ACE spacecraft subsystems are performing as expected. ======================================================================== Orbit/Attitude: Type Attitude Date 04/01/2014 DOY 091 2014 Thrusters 2R 4R+ 4R- Duration 9:41 min Start 19:23:18z Stop 19:32:59z HGAStart -8.09 deg HGAStop +8.81 deg SunStart 13.66 deg SunStop 12.50 deg SpinStart 4.9865 rpm SpinStop 4.9886 rpm Nutation 0.13 deg Firing 49 pulses FuelUsed 0.1557 lbm FuelRemain 107.9168 lbm FinalSCMass 1342.177 lbm The next attitude maneuver is scheduled for Tuesday 04/08/2014. ======================================================================== OCRs: None ======================================================================== Activities: Data Capture: 100% DOY 075-082 2014 On 03/26/2014 (DOY 085) a DSN Project Interface Test (PIT) with DSS-15 for DSN's Uplink Tracking and Command Subsystem (UPL v11.1) was not started. The station was unable to calibrate the transmitter to 250W (DR#G114872). The station reconfigured to the normal uplink system. Spacecraft activities were delayed 1 hour. The last UPL PIT (UPL v10.5) was completed 9/25/2012. The Near Earth Network performed a complete week of ranging passes so that Flight Dynamics can test orbit determination using only WS1 and AGO data and compare that with the orbit determination using DSN data. The results will be included in next week's report Wed 03/26/2014 085 2040-2125 WS1 Thu 03/27/2014 086 2350-0040 WS1 Fri 03/28/2014 087 2200-2220 WS1 (moved for view) Sat 03/29/2014 088 2357-0040 WS1 Sun 03/30/2014 089 2040-2120 WS1 (moved for view) Mon 03/31/2014 090 1910-1940 WS1 (moved for view) Tue 04/01/2014 091 1420-1515 WS1 Tue 03/25/2014 084 1730-1745 AGO (pre-mnvr) Wed 03/26/2014 085 1900-1940 AGO Thu 03/27/2014 086 1710-1755 AGO Fri 03/28/2014 087 1530-1615 AGO Sat 03/29/2014 088 1830-1915 AGO Sun 03/30/2014 089 1950-2035 AGO Mon 03/31/2014 090 1700-1745 AGO Tue 04/01/2014 091 1330-1415 AGO ======================================================================== Anomalies: DOY 084 03/25/2014 S-ACE-0677 G14-0005 DSS-15 Earth Receive Time When DSS-15 re-acquired telemetry at the high data-rate, the station's Earth Receive Time (ERT) was behind by 0.26 seconds when compared with the spacecraft clock. The ERT remained behind for the remainder of the pass. The DOY 084 clock calibration was recalculated with the invalid ERTs removed. IMPACT: This problem also occurred on the previous DSS-15 pass (DOY 071). But the 4 subsequent DSS-15 pass have not had any Earth Receive Time problems.
