Since ACE does not have an on-board UTC clock (i.e., the clock is a counter), no updates were required on the spacecraft. However, the ground system (ITOS) and the ACE clock calibration tool were recently updated to account for the leap second addition, and correctly calculate the slope and leap second addition, and correctly calculate the slope and offset during the clock calibration process. Following the leap second addition, the ACE FOT evaluated the clock calibration data and confirmed that the updating process worked as intended. ======================================================================== Anomalies: None
