This slew is not real. The station support time for this BSR was=20 shortened very late in the process, after the flight time line had already = been processed into flight dynamics commands. Our software however=20 terminates with an error if there is a specular pointing with a BSR=20 without station coverage. So we suppressed this error with a (not real)=20 Earth pointing for the generation of groundstation products.=20 The real flight time line has an 18 minute slew, and your BSR on that day=20 will simply end when the DSN people flip the switch (no post-cal, no=20 after-show VIP party). Hope that helps. Cheers, Hannes. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Dipl.-Ing.

My calculations indicate that the spacecraft HGA is about 90 degrees off Earth point when the BSR ends. Executing this maneuver in 1 minute seems unlikely. The slew back to Earth point is not particularly important for the BSR; we will have collected our surface observations before the slew begins. But there's a possibility that this timing 'problem' indicates something more important. So I thought I should alert you in case a correction is needed.

That appears to be the case. I had always thought the on-screen monitoring information was derived from the same source as the digital data -- in fact, I thought the digital data were written to disk, then the monitor data were generated from those. It appears the digital data on disk (or at least the version that has been transferred to Stanford) is not consistent with the real-time monitoring summaries. I don't understand how that can happen. >So, the behaviour of S-RCP has something to do with the ground equipment but >hopefully not with the spacecraft? Correct. There has almost never been a problem with the spacecraft.

This experiment went very well, with strong X-band echoes returned (and weaker S-band); LCP signals stronger than RCP for both bands. Several problems were encountered during this activity: 1. LCP recording was done on WVSR1, due to RSR1 disk being down 2. There was a 30-minute delay in pre-cal start-up due to minor configuration problems 3. S-LCP amplitudes were erratic/unstable throughout 4. A microwave switch failure (DR# M-105802) at ~16:42 resulted in not being able to complete the Post-Cal procedure for the S-LCP data (but was completed for X-LCP, S-RCP, and X-RCP) - Gene & Danny --=====================_1657098406==_ Content-Type: application/octet-stream; name="MEX_BSR_20100606_D63.xls"; x-mac-type="584C5334"; x-mac-creator="5843454C" Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64 Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="MEX_BSR_20100606_D63.xls" 0M8R4KGxGuEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAPgADAP7/CQAGAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACAAAAAQAAAAAAAAAA EAAANQAAAAEAAAD+////AAAAAAAAAAA3AAAA//////////////////////////////////////// ...
