Date Time Component Description
11/13/200817:38:00 Disable yaw, roll, pitch reasonableness tests in control and non-control SCP.
08/19/200800:33:00 Disables gas and automatic thruster firing.
08/18/200818:15:00 4 miscompares, ARRTLM Val=1 AMIMSWIN Val=1 AMIMUON1 Val=1 AMIMUON2 Val=0. A thruster unload was executed by the spacecraft. Additional control logic enabled in case of a close approach with debris from the Chineses Sat. Onboard s/w initated the thruster pulse (+ pitch) when the momentum threshold was exceeded. During the + pitch thruster firing the ROLL reasonableness test failed on the NON control side, which caused the MIMU to switch from MIMU 2 to MIMU 1, and set MIMU switching to INHIBIT.
08/18/200809:30:00 Enables Auto Thruster Firings
01/25/200612:00:00PTC 1APitch torquer coil inactive while spacecraft Z-momentum (pitch) transitions from a positive value range to a negative value range (while Z-Rwheel does the exactly the opposite). Considered rare but not anomalous.
11/03/200512:00:00PTC 1APitch torquer coil inactive while spacecraft Z-momentum (pitch) transitions from a negative value range to a positive value range (while Z-Rwheel does the exactly the opposite). Considered rare but not anomalous. Transition complete on 18 Nov 05.
05/27/200518:50:00 End reduced gyro test. COmmand ADACS back to nominal mode using all gyro axisÆ.
05/27/200517:07:00 Reduced gyro test, estimate pitch. Knockout out pitch gyro for 1 rev.
05/25/200514:20:00 New ephemeris loaded to control OBP.
05/23/200513:00:00 Attitude control commanded to NOMINAL mode (from YGC).
05/22/200519:45:00 Subtracted 3 full seconds from command clock because of drift.
05/22/200519:40:00 First on-orbit ephemeris upload to N18 spacecraft, nominal execution.
05/21/200512:20:00ESAESA to nominal algorythm. Spacecraft remains in YGC attitude control mode.
