- MARS OBSERVER STATUS REPORT
- January 26, 1993
- 1:00 PM PST
-
- Flight Sequence C6 B is active. Magnetometer/Electron Reflectometer and
- Gamma Ray Spectrometer are taking data.
-
- Digital Tape Recorder 1 is being played back today, with DTR3 playback
- scheduled for tomorrow. DTRs 1 and 3 contain the Geotail measurement
- data collected in December.
-
- The Spacecraft Team reports that the spacecraft is performing nominally
- in Array Normal Spin. Uplink and downlink are via the HGA (High Gain
- Antenna); uplink is at 125 bps; the downlink rate is at the
- 4 kilobits/second Science and Engineering data rate, with an approximate
- 2 hour telecom configuration at the 85 K rate planned between 1:00 PM and
- 3:30 PM today, after which downlink will be returned to 4K.
-
- Flight sequence C7 is being updated with final TCM-2 (Trajectory
- Correction Maneuver #2) parameters as developed by the Navigation and
- Spacecraft teams. TCM-2 will provide a velocity change of approximately
- 10 meters/second. Uplink of C7 is scheduled for February 6 with sequence
- activation and the maneuver to take place on February 8.
