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.
