Open Loop Data ============== Data Collection --------------- We have completed quick-look processing on the following MEX RSR open loop gravity and occultation data at Stanford: DOY DSS RSR BAND RSR CH KSPS BT REC RECS RSR MAX START STOP ID RS LEN FILE NAME SNR --- --- -------- -------- ---- --- -- ---- -- ----- ----- ------------ ----- 166 65 10:34:00 12:34:00 X/XR 4 1 2 16 8260 7201 B166103A.RSR 49.3 166 65 10:34:00 12:34:00 X/SR 3 1 2 16 8260 7201 B166103B.RSR 33.9 166 65 13:40:00 13:55:00 X/XR 4 1 2 16 8260 901 B166134A.RSR 49.2 166 65 13:40:00 13:55:00 X/SR 3 1 2 16 8260 901 B166134B.RSR 33.9 The first pair of files is from a gravity pass near apocenter. The second pair is from a radio occultation about an hour before pericenter. These are the first of several occultations which will be captured at DSN antennas over the next few months. The spacecraft goes into eclipse before the occultation is complete in mid-August, so no data will be collected after that time. Anomalies --------- The signal levels reaching the RSR are about 15 dB lower than expected in the occultation data collected. The MAX SNR appears not to have been affected, but an FGAIN adjustment would be appropriate. The levels during the gravity recording were good. The attenuator settings for both gravity and occultation recordings were the same, but Px/No is 15 dB higher for both S- and X-Band in the occultation data headers.
