Open Loop Data ============== Data Collection --------------- We have completed quick-look processing on the following MEX RSR open loop data at Stanford: DOY DSS RSR BAND RSR CH KSPS BT REC RECS RSR MAX START STOP ID RS LEN FILE NAME SNR --- --- -------- -------- ---- --- -- ---- -- ----- ----- ------------ ----- 182 14 14:09:00 14:24:00 X/XR 4 1 2 16 8260 901 B182140A.RSR 55.8 182 14 14:09:00 14:24:00 X/SR 3 1 2 16 8260 901 B182140B.RSR 40.2 182 14 18:11:00 20:23:59 X/XR 6 1 2 16 8260 7980 B182181A.RSR 56.5 182 14 18:11:00 20:23:59 X/SR 5 1 2 16 8260 7980 B182181B.RSR 41.1 183 65 08:11:00 09:57:00 X/XR 2 1 2 16 8260 6361 B183081A.RSR 47.6 183 65 08:11:00 09:57:00 X/SR 1 1 2 16 8260 6361 B183081B.RSR 33.3 183 65 11:08:00 11:23:00 X/XR 2 1 2 16 8260 901 B183110A.RSR 46.8 183 65 11:08:00 11:23:00 X/SR 1 1 2 16 8260 901 B183110B.RSR 32.4 The first and fourth pairs of observations are occultations; the second and third pairs are gravity observations. Anomalies --------- On day 182, stasrting at 18:11, the X-Band carrier level decreased by 2 dB over the first 26 minutes. Within the next 2 minutes it lost another 2 dB before recovering to a more stable value. However, over the following hour (approximately 18:40-19:40) the carrier level oscillated about +/-0.2 dB with a period of about 2 minutes. On S-Band there was an approximately linear decrease in carrier level of about 0.5 dB over the entire observation.
