The surface observations start at (26S, 9E) and end at (39S, 5W); this is lightly cratered terrain northeast of the large basin Argyre. The spacecraft has just passed apoapsis, so everything happens slowly and signals are relatively weak; but we have just passed Mars opposition, so the small Earth- Mars distance makes the weak signals stronger. Incident angle on the surface varies from 39 to 51 degrees, meaning LCP should be stronger than RCP throughout but with RCP making gains toward the end. I'm not sure how it happened, but the surface observations last 73 minutes where the previous limit has been 65. So there's one X-Band FRO in the middle of the surface observations; otherwise, this should look a lot like the experiment we did on day 041 - hopefully with fewer glitches. For playback, I recommend the following for the 25 kHz data (no segment longer than 88 minutes): Pre-cal Track until start of 100 kHz data Surface observations until end of 100 kHz data Remaining track plus post-cal For 100 kHz playback three 18 minute segments and one 19 minute segment would be best; but I can carve these up at Stanford if you give me a 73 minute file from each RSR.

Yes. Based on the 2010/041 experience, S-LCP is the least of our worries. Although it looked flakey in real time, the digital data looked very good. There were some problems with the ODs in getting the S-Band signal paths correct; but I think that had more to do with there being no S-RCP than anything else. The S-LCP pre-cal and post-cal have a couple artifacts, but it's easy to understand what was going on with the NMC log and the numbers look very good. I am still puzzled by the modulation you noticed on the X-RCP carrier; there has been nothing from ESA to explain this. It's not something we can fix in real time, but you might watch to see whether it appears again. I'm convinced it's happening on the spacecraft. Also puzzling is high system temperature on both X-Band channels. the stormy weather COULD explain it; but it rose while we were doing the S-Band pre-cal and stayed at a 2X level for the rest of the observations. Usually weather causes variable Tsys. Also, even though S-Band is not subject to the same weather variations, the S-LCP behavior actually seemed BETTER than it should have been and not variable at all. So 2010/041 was a little strange, and in more ways than I mentioned in my report. But S-LCP was the 'good' channel during that experiment; so I don't think we need to do anything special to build in S-Band redundancy.

The schedule is doubly bad news because we have another BSR on 2010/055. Then there's nothing for 7 weeks, by which time Mars will be much farther away and the S-Band echoes much more difficult to pull out of the noise.

The S-band maser was declared "red" prior to the activity, so there was no S-band RCP data recorded; and S-band LCP ADC Amplitude continued to be irratic while the antenna was on point. Also, there was an extraneous carrier signal seen starting at about 09:52, moving from right to left, and ending about 10:36; possibly interference with another spacecraft. - Gene & Danny --=====================_866860265==_ Content-Type: application/octet-stream; name="MEX_BSR_20100220.xls"; x-mac-type="584C5334"; x-mac-creator="5843454C" Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64 Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="MEX_BSR_20100220.xls" 0M8R4KGxGuEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAPgADAP7/CQAGAAAAAAAAAAAAAAABAAAAAQAAAAAAAAAA EAAANgAAAAEAAAD+////AAAAAAAAAAD///////////////////////////////////////////// ...

The anomalous signal is pictured next to the surface echo, = and to the left of MEX. In plot MEXMRO.png, I tested my guess that this could be from MRO somehow. = I plotted the sky frequency from the RSR log against MRO predicts at DSS-15= , offset by a constant -19,180,000 Hz... Tracking data from DSS-15's MRO pass shows the station in lock during part = of this time within the normal frequency channel for MRO (8439 MHz). (They = were doing a Delta Dor at the time.) So I've not idea WHY the signal matche= s MRO predicts with an offset... Danny ...
