- MARS OBSERVER STATUS REPORT
- November 23, 1992
- 11:00 AM PST
- Launch +59 Days
-
- Sequence C4 remains active and without anomaly. The static phase
- error test was completed last week which verified the DSN (Deep
- Space Network) uplink frequency margins with the spacecraft. The
- MAG (Magnetometer) and the GRS (Gamma Ray Spectrometer) remain
- powered ON during the sequence, but are quiescent. The MOC (Mars
- Observer Camera) bakeout continues to perform nominally. A delta
- DOR (Differenced One-way Ranging) was performed over the weekend,
- as a planned weekly event.
-
- A Command Detector Test is planned to be uplinked Tuesday to
- verify the capability to command the spacecraft at a 500 bps uplink
- rate.
-
- The spacecraft is now in engineering mode at 2000 bps downlink
- with 1 tracking pass per day. The Spacecraft and science teams
- report that all subsystems and payload instruments are performing
- very well.
