- GALILEO STATUS REPORT
- January 22, 1993
-
- The Galileo Spacecraft is operating normally in the dual-spin mode and
- is transmitting coded telemetry at 1200 bps (bits/second).
-
- Yesterday, AACS (Attitude and Articultion Control Subsystem)
- calibrations were performed, as planned. Tracking was scheduled over DSS-14
- (Goldstone 70 meter antenna) and DSS-43 (Canberra 70 meter antenna).
-
- Today, January 22, 1993, real-time commands were sent to power cycle the
- UVS (Ultraviolet Spectrometer) on/off to exercise the drive mechanism.
- Real-time commands are also scheduled to perform planned system fault
- protection updates. Stored sequence planned cruise science MROs (Memory
- Readouts) were completed as scheduled. Also, the planned USO (Ultra Stable
- Oscillator) test was performed. The PWS (Plasma Wave) instrument is also
- scheduled to be turned on from the stored sequence. Tracking is scheduled
- over DSS-43.
-
- Over the weekend, no spacecraft activity or tracking is scheduled.
- The AACS inflight mode is scheduled to begin on Monday, January 25, 1993.
