SATOPS Morning Report: Friday, August 03, 2001

Customers or users who want to call to ask about problems or report outages can use the following contacts:
- For questions about data quality (noisy data, dropouts, schedules), GOES or POES products, or status of spacecraft can call the SAB Shift Supervisor at 301-763-8444
- To report an outage or document a problem, call the ESPC Operations Crew Lead at 301-457-5218. All LRIT data users are encouraged to report problems to: LRIT@noaa.gov

GOES-M Launch Update

AMF #6 was successfully executed today at 8:01am EDT (DOY 215 @ 1201Z). The burn lasted 10 minutes and 45 seconds.
The flange temperature profile during this followed the previous AMFs. All subsystems remain safe and well within limits. The maneuver increased the orbital period to approximately 19 hours. A total of 3 AMFs remain in order to achieve geosynchronous orbit.

POES

No change in the status of the POES spacecraft.

NOAA-11 rev 66295 / W at 1504Z on August 2: Executed CP SSTRIGN, to change battery #1 CS NOW to 26.5 AH, reset safe
state table triggering thresholds for battery voltages and disabled safe state triggering for battery state-of-charge. All of these activities were commanded to the non-control processor; at this point both the control and the backup (non-control) processor are identically configured.

NOAA-14 rev 33976 / F at 0334Z on August 3: LAC3A and GAC5B were received noisy from the spacecraft. LAC3A was forward played and recovered at 100% during the same pass. Recovery of the GAC data set was not possible during the pass and recorder management prevented a replay. As a result, the noisy GAC5B data set had only 92% of the expected data recovered.

NOAA-16 rev 04455 / W at 0746Z on August 3: LAC1B was scheduled to play down on this pass but was already at BOT, no data was recovered. Further investigation revealed that the LAC1B record sequence was not scheduled after the previous LAC1B playback on rev 04454 / W. Scheduling is aware of the error.

POES operations were nominal over the past 24 hours.

DMSP

No change in the status of the DMSP spacecraft.

As mentioned in yesterday's report, the POGO site experienced problems yesterday attributed to heavy storms in Thule, Greenland. The main fiber optic bundle leading to the J-site became wet due to flooding and will need to be replaced. Operators at POGO patched around this failure. The SOCC crew rescheduled multiple passes to BOSS in response. An OPS49 rev 08466 R+05 pass at 10:56Z was declared a CAT-1 loss due to no alternate sites available. (A 7172 s/c sec, 179.3 pbk sec data loss was declared). All data was eventually recovered; the loss was attributed due to the smooth data timelines being exceeded.

DMSP operations were nominal over the past 24 hours.

GOES

No change in the status of the GOES spacecraft.

At 0024Z on August 3, a GOES-8 frame break was observed and attributed to loss of signal synchronization.

GOES operations were nominal over the past 24 hours.
