Open Loop Data
==============

  Data Collection
  ---------------

     We have completed quick-look processing on the following MEX RSR open
loop radio occultation data at Stanford:

DOY DSS        RSR        BAND RSR CH KSPS BT  REC   RECS      RSR      MAX
          START    STOP         ID         RS  LEN          FILE NAME   SNR
--- --- -------- -------- ---- --- -- ---- -- ----- ----- ------------ -----

     These data appear to be good, but the S-RCP signal was not collected
because of a scripting error.

     The first four files are noise data collected while the S-band receivers
were connected to their ambient loads.  The second four files are noise data
collected while the 70-m antenna was pointed toward zenith.  The MAX SNR
values result from statistical fluctuations in the noise in the first eight
files.

     The last eight files were collected while the antenna was tracking the
spacecraft.  The maximum surface echo was expected at 06:54 and it was seen
in the S-LCP and X-LCP real-time displays.

     The S-RCP maser was malfunctioning throughout the experiment; it remains
to be seen whether useful data can be extracted from that channel, which was
predicted to have the weakest surface echo by a substantial margin.
