                     MARS OBSERVER STATUS REPORT
                           January 25, 1992
                             2:45 PM PST

Flight Sequence C6 B is active.  Magnetometer/Electron Reflectometer and
Gamma Ray Spectrometer are taking data; the Mars Observer Camera focus
test ended at noon today.  The MOC team has selected an optimal focus
setting based on information developed in testing.

Digital Tape Recorders 1 and 3 will be played back on tomorrow and
Wednesday.  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 16K.

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.
