ACE Weekly 03/18/2015 - 03/24/2015 ACE spacecraft subsystems are performing as expected. ======================================================================== Orbit/Attitude: Type Attitude Date 03/23/2015 DOY 082 2015 Thrusters 2R 4R+ 4R- Duration 11:03 minutes Start 19:44:50z Stop 19:54:05z ra,decStart 4.59,-11.91 ra,decStop 12.57,-8.37 ra,decExpect 12.87,-8.38 Deviation 0.30deg (-3%) HGAStart -7.50 deg HGAStop +8.71 deg SunStart 13.19 deg SunStop 18.88 deg SpinStart 5.0004 rpm SpinStop 5.0055 rpm Nutation 0.12 deg Firing 47 pulses FuelUsed 0.1474 lbm FuelRemain 99.5924 lbm FinalSCMass 1333.852 lbm The next attitude maneuver is scheduled for Monday 3/30/2015. ======================================================================== OCRs: None ======================================================================== Activities: Data Capture: 99.97% DOY 074-081 2015 DOY 077 05:11:22-05:13:20 119 second gap while catching up on data DOY 080 23:11:22-23:19:13 71 second gap while catching up on data The SSR playback has continued to be behind schedule due to limited antenna time. The past week has been lucky with a couple of instances of being 2-3 hours away from losing 10-20 hours of recorded data. SSR playback will be caught up on Friday 3/27/2015. ======================================================================== Anomalies: DOY 080 03/21/2015 S-ACE-0696 G15-0005 DSS-65 Equipment Availability DSN has a limited number of Downlink Channels for processing telemetry and it is possible to schedule the same equipment for 2 different missions (AR#119081). DC01 was scheduled for both ACE and MAVEN supports. DR#M108626 IMPACT: Activities delayed 44 minutes. Playback of data is behind due to limited antenna time. No impact to NOAA SWPC since the spacecraft was in RTSW during this time.
