The DSN Keyword File is incomprehensible, and I need to plan the ground events for the BSR on orbit 7322. From the MAPPS v6.4.2 graphic it appears that we have BSLW starts P+00:17 BSR starts P+00:33 BSLW starts P+01:39 BCAL starts P+01:53 ends P+02:03 where P = 2009-09-17T11:38:10 SCET and OWLT = 750 s. Can you confirm/improve? I think this is an experiment which got shoehorned into a short window so the DSN Keyword File generation doesn't work. That's OK if I can sequence the important ground events from the spacecraft times.

I am puzzled as the information that I have is inconclusive/contradictory. I have a problem with my laptop's harddrive so don't have access to my normal set of files. The MREQ and FTL are not reflecting the real situation given the G/S timing: the station doesn't fit with the below results. I will have to go through emails to see what happened. I'll get back to you as soon as I can. In any case, you should capture the preCAL as there is plenty of time to do that, do the BSR till the station ends. I expect that the postCAL will have been dropped and the BSR trimmed, but let me confirm that with "email proof". I wonder whether the DSN keyword file is incomprehensible because the BOT should have been after the slew end for ESOC's software to run properly (if I understood well). I will look into this as well, but later. preCAL could start P+00:30:25 BSLW starts P+01:02:52 BSR starts P+01:12:50 BSLW starts P+02:20:10 BCAL starts P+02:24:45 BCAL ends P+02:34:45 or later MREQ: 7322 NOP SBWU 40.00 55.00 S-Band Warm-up 7322 FIX BCAL 55.00 60.00 BSR Calibration 7322 NOP BSLW 60.00 75.00 BSR Slew 7322 FIX BSR 75.00 140.00 BSR 7322 NOP BSLW 140.00 145.00 BSR Slew 7322 FIX BCAL 145.00 155.00 BSR Calibration With final slew times as calculated by FD/FTL: C ************************************************ C Start of pointing block BEGIN CS ORBIT = 7322 CS BLOCK_LABEL = ptr_mtp069_00019.req_0669 TYPE = EARTH FLAGCOMMS = FALSE TBEGIN = 2009-09-17T12:08:35Z TEND = 2009-09-17T12:41:02Z NORTH = FALSE END C End of pointing block C C ************************************************ C Start of pointing block BEGIN CS ORBIT = 7322 CS BLOCK_LABEL = ptr_mtp069_00019.req_0670 TYPE = RADIO_SCIENCE TBEGIN = 2009-09-17T12:33:10Z TEND = 2009-09-17T13:33:10Z CX CTEND = 2009-09-17T14:13:10Z CS EXPERIMENT = BSR END C End of pointing block C C ************************************************ C Start of pointing block BEGIN CS ORBIT = 7322 CS BLOCK_LABEL = ptr_mtp069_00019.req_0671 TYPE = SLEW FLAGCOMMS = FALSE TBEGIN = 2009-09-17T12:41:02Z TEND = 2009-09-17T12:51:00Z MOTION = 1 END C End of pointing block C C ************************************************ C Start of pointing block BEGIN CS ORBIT = 7322 CS BLOCK_LABEL = ptr_mtp069_00019.req_0672 TYPE = SPECULAR FLAGCOMMS = FALSE TBEGIN = 2009-09-17T12:51:00Z TEND = 2009-09-17T13:58:20Z END C End of pointing block C C ************************************************ C Start of pointing block BEGIN CS ORBIT = 7322 CS BLOCK_LABEL = ptr_mtp069_00019.req_0673 TYPE = SLEW FLAGCOMMS = FALSE TBEGIN = 2009-09-17T13:58:20Z TEND = 2009-09-17T14:02:55Z MOTION = 1 END C End of pointing block C C ************************************************ C Start of pointing block BEGIN CS ORBIT = 7322 CS BLOCK_LABEL = ptr_mtp069_00019.req_0674 TYPE = EARTH FLAGCOMMS = FALSE TBEGIN = 2009-09-17T14:02:55Z TEND = 2009-09-17T14:20:05Z NORTH = FALSE END C End of pointing block From jim.volp@sciops.esa.int Wed Sep 16 12:52:32 2009 Return-Path: Received: from esa-sf1.esa.gmessaging.net (esa-sf2.esa.gmessaging.net [194.51.201.68]) by magellan.stanford.edu (8.11.7p3+Sun/8.11.7) with ESMTP id n8GJqPT15447 for ; Wed, 16 Sep 2009 12:52:30 -0700 (PDT) Received: from esa-sf1.esa.gmessaging.net (localhost [127.0.0.1]) by localhost.esa.gmessaging.net (Postfix) with SMTP id 237A6397F9A for ; Wed, 16 Sep 2009 21:52:14 +0200 (CEST) Received: from sciops-mailgw.vilspa.esa.int (sciops-mailgw.vilspa.esa.int [193.147.152.105]) by esa-sf1.esa.gmessaging.net (Postfix) with ESMTP id C44153979E3 for ; Wed, 16 Sep 2009 21:52:13 +0200 (CEST) Received: from sciops.esac.int (scimail.esac.esa.int [193.147.152.87]) by sciops-mailgw.vilspa.esa.int (Postfix) with ESMTP id 560DB11FAC1; Wed, 16 Sep 2009 21:52:24 +0200 (CEST) Received: from [10.66.180.85] (ssow29.net3.lan [10.66.180.85]) (authenticated bits=0) by sciops.esac.int (8.13.1/8.13.1) with ESMTP id n8GJqOWZ009109; Wed, 16 Sep 2009 21:52:24 +0200 Message-ID: <10275_1253130734_4AB141EE_10275_526198_1_4AB141F5.2080707@sciops.esa.int> Date: Wed, 16 Sep 2009 21:52:21 +0200 From: Jim Volp User-Agent: Thunderbird 2.0.0.23 (Windows/20090812) MIME-Version: 1.0 To: Dick Simpson 650-723-3525 , Mexsgs@sciops.esa.int Subject: Re: Orbit 7322 BSR References: <200909160243.n8G2hgN13101@magellan.stanford.edu> In-Reply-To: <200909160243.n8G2hgN13101@magellan.stanford.edu> Content-Type: multipart/mixed; boundary="------------010509000908020204010308" Content-Length: 61622 Status: RO This is a multi-part message in MIME format. --------------010509000908020204010308 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Hi Dick, I can't find any proof that the FTL I have is incorrect. This means you ONLY have the preCAL as the planned postCAL is after the station has ended (as the attached plot shows clearly). It also means the last 10-12 minutes specular have evaporated. Strange that DSN did this! In the SECS delivered on the 27th July I see this changed (from v713 going to v714). Very strange this wasn't picked up by MPS at final analysis either.

From the DSN Keyword File we have a regular tracking pass at DSS 14 followed by a BSR pass. The tracking post-cal ends and the BSR pre-cal begins at 10:20. The BSR BOT is at 12:20. This part is OK. But then we have BSLW ending at 12:21 (with HGA pointed to Mars), X-Band telemetry turning on at 12:26, and the SBWU at 12:31. Telemetry and ranging go off at 12:46 and we begin the surface observations. The second BSLW begins at 12:54 and ends at 13:03. At 13:45 both S- and X-Band are turned off. EOT is at 14:00 and the ground post-cal ends at 15:00. I have rounded to the nearest minute in the Earth receive times above.

We can usually do the ground post-cal in about 30 minutes. I'll check with the ops people; we may be able to delay EOT by 11 minutes and get all of the BSR. Losing the second BSLW and BCAL is not important in comparison with the additional coverage. I think we can do this one. Thanks for the extra help.

Jesse -----Original Message----- From: Dick Simpson 650-723-3525 [mailto:rsimpson@magellan.stanford.edu] Sent: Monday, October 12, 2009 6:37 PM To: Velasco, Jesse; daniel.s.kahan@jpl.nasa.gov; gene.goltz@jpl.nasa.gov; sami.asmar@jpl.nasa.gov; rsimpson@magellan.stanford.edu Subject: Noisy S-LCP at DSS 14 for MEX BSR Jesse: Since the MEX bistatic radar experiments on 2009/226, the S-LCP channel has been very noisy. The Y-factor this past weekend was only about 4.2 dB compared with 11.4 dB on S-RCP (see attached PDF). Do you know what is causing this and whether any improvement is expected? The experiments in July (2009/184, 185, 193, 199) all seemed to be normal. The new noise reduces our sensitivity by a factor of about 4 on S-Band. That's a lot when our echoes are weak to begin with.
