ACE Weekly 04/30/2014 - 05/06/2014 All ACE spacecraft subsystems are performing as expected. ======================================================================== Orbit/Attitude: Type Attitude Date 05/06/2014 DOY 126 2014 Thrusters 2R 4R+ 4R- Duration 16:03 min Start 13:37:23z Stop 13:53:26z HGAStart -7.73 deg HGAStop +10.29 deg SunStart 11.67 deg SunStop 18.24 deg SpinStart 4.9971 rpm SpinStop 5.0014 rpm Nutation 0.31 deg Firing 81 pulses FuelUsed 0.2451 lbm FuelRemain 107.0264 lbm FinalSCMass 1341.286 lbm The next attitude maneuver and Station Keeping maneuver #69 are scheduled for 05/13/2014. ======================================================================== OCRs: None ======================================================================== Activities: Data Capture: 100% DOY 110-117 2014 ======================================================================== Anomalies: DOY 120 04/30/2014 S-ACE-0682 G14-0009 Data Forwarding to NOAA IT security scanning on 4/29/2014 had overwhelmed the MMOC firewall. The System Administrators reduced the TCP Session Timeout to reduce further scanning issues. The firewall change resulted in the data forwarding to NOAA to timeout at the beginning of the following pass. MOCR MMOC-400 has been implemented so that data forwarding will wait until telemetry is received from DSN before establishing the connection to NOAA. IMPACT: 70 minute outage (1515-1625z) to NOAA Operations on 4/30/2014. DOY 124 05/04/2014 S-ACE-0681 G14-0008 DSS-34 Transmitter Red A southern hemisphere ranging pass (1 hour) was lost due to a false final limit interlock. IMPACT: There were 2 other southern hemisphere ranging supports on 5/2/2014 and 5/5/2014 between the maneuvers on 4/29/2014 and 5/6/2014. Update for S13-0001 - B1 Fuel Tank Temperature Anomaly The fuel tank heaters have restarted powering off for ~30 minutes every ~2 hours. This started 70 minutes after the attitude maneuver on Tuesday 5/6/2014. The updated theory is that the heater thermostat has become detached from the B1 tank. The propulsion heater system had returned to their normal configuration (tank heaters always on) from 4/2/2014 to 5/6/2014.
