The Sun is on the -x axis during almost the whole period of the pass (see attached file). I thought we checked every pass for 2005 before we requested them. Since 1631 is in the the finalized request for MTP 12 we might not be able to change anything and lose it. I will check all other passes to make sure that won't happen again. How was yesterdays pass? Any good news?

The next telecon is planned for Tuesday (1-March) 10:00. Please let me know by Monday (28-Feb) 14:00 in case you should have problems with this time/date. 1. MTP12 The analysis of the MTP12 PTR by FDyn has shown the following - PFS nadir pointings in orbits 1598, 1659, 1666, and 1670 violate the +Y illumination rule (duration > 36 min for nadir/cross-track on any Y face); these seem to be the only 4 orbits where the nadir/cross-track takes place before pericenter, in mtp12. - the BSR on orbit 1631 violates the -X illumination constraint ( incidence angle is +54 deg on -X for 85 mins [ 11.18 to 12.43]. Such an illumination could cause cryo-radiator temperatures sufficient to prevent the cross-track observation on orbit 1632 (Cross-track with HRSC, PFS and SI x 2). - PST will have a telecon with ESOC on Monday 28-Feb 10:00 on this topic; please let me know any input form your side BEFORE that - here are the details: BSR POINTING ORBIT 1631, pericenter takes place at 114.11.11.08.12. [ the BSR in orbit 1631 takes place after pericenter (and eclipse)] Radio Sci block starts @ eclipse end: 114.11.07.36 Radio Sci block ends @ 114.13.34.00 The violation of the -X face illumination at incidence angle +54 deg is during the entire inertial pointing. nadir pointing orbit 1598: PFS TBEGIN = 2005-04-15T03:45:45Z TEND = 2005-04-15T04:26:05Z Pericenter is @ 105.05.17.54.

Pointing is about 1 hr before pericenter. 2. MTP13 - up to now we have received MREQs from MaRS (v03), Omega (v01), Aspera (v01), HRSC (v01) - please find at the end of this mail the MIRA resource profile and the SCOP (which includes the 4h uplinks but neither Omega nor HRSC pointings) - before starting MIRA with the above 2 files don't forget to update your database (current version is 78, to be found on POSWeb) - here are some questions arising from analyzing the input of MaRS, Aspera, Omega , HRSC and SCOPv02 a) Omega vs 4h: + orbit 1687/9: Omega requests both but one of them MUST be 4h + orbit 1717: Omega request is during MTL maintenance which is also the 4h window + orbit 1738: Omega request ok, 4h window to be changed to 1737 (MAD, start 04:44:44, duration 5.5h) b) Omega + Helen proposes to used FIX for heating and not NOP (file) + Please check: 1710 FIX 03 OMEG OM_128S4_W2 -115.80 -116.00 FIX 331.2 50.6 1774 FIX 03 OMEG OM_128S4_W2 -089.10 0061.10 FIX 332.3 50.6 + to be checked if Omega can heat during SCMN (1780/1) - I have attached the MIRA PDF output using the above mentioned files+ a dummy SPICAM file and the Omega and HRSC MREQs (which aren't on the POSweb) - please take into account that + SCOP file hasn't been edited yet for Omega and HRSC files + SPICAM is not a real request, MaRS not included in the plot + the graph line in each orbit is the solar elevation Best regards Rene -- Dipl.-Ing.

According to my calculations we will have further problems with the -x axis rule. I also attached one file for each pass that is in the list. It shows the angle to the -x axis.

The next telecon is planned for Tuesday (1-March) 10:00. Please let me know by Monday (28-Feb) 14:00 in case you should have problems with this time/date. 1. MTP12 The analysis of the MTP12 PTR by FDyn has shown the following - PFS nadir pointings in orbits 1598, 1659, 1666, and 1670 violate the +Y illumination rule (duration > 36 min for nadir/cross-track on any Y face); these seem to be the only 4 orbits where the nadir/cross-track takes place before pericenter, in mtp12. - the BSR on orbit 1631 violates the -X illumination constraint ( incidence angle is +54 deg on -X for 85 mins [ 11.18 to 12.43]. Such an illumination could cause cryo-radiator temperatures sufficient to prevent the cross-track observation on orbit 1632 (Cross-track with HRSC, PFS and SI x 2). - PST will have a telecon with ESOC on Monday 28-Feb 10:00 on this topic; please let me know any input form your side BEFORE that - here are the details: BSR POINTING ORBIT 1631, pericenter takes place at 114.11.11.08.12.

It violates the illumination rule for -X. We did not spot it in MIRA, because at the time we had no groundstation assigned to it to be able to do the full checks. We have no time to come up with a new negotiated BSR through JPL, but you could do another test in one of the following orbits which already have 70m GS assigned: 1627 DOY113 April 23 MAD 70m 05:50 for 6.25 hours 1652 DOY120 April 30 MAD 70m 05:23 for 6.50 hours Possibly: 1642 DOY117 April 27 GDS 70m 11:45 for 6.33 hours (with the last 2.08hrs having no uplink, which should not matter?) In all cases the BSR should then be after the eclipse to make it fit. Orbit 1642 may well give the same illumination problem since it is 11 orbits away from 1631 (same geometry). If you want any of those for BSR, could you send me an MREQ with the BSR in for MTP12 today so that we can check this ? We need to have the information with ESOC tomorrow.

It violates the illumination rule for -X. We did not spot it in >MIRA, because at the time we had no groundstation assigned to it to be able >to do the full checks. Would it be possible to retain the 24 April BSR if we moved the target earlier? It appears that targets selected for times earlier than 11:36 (spacecraft time) would have acceptable sun angles on the -X axis. But it also appears that the eclipse is 10:48-11:08 (spacecraft time). This would not only be tight, but it would require some adjustments to (possibly elimination of) the BCAL. I'm trying to think how to preserve the 24 April scheduling; as Tanja notes, there may be other complications in changing the date (such as not enough equipment at the ground station). For example, on 24 April, could we turn on the S-band transmitter and do a 10 minute BCAL during 10:38-10:48, turn the X-band transmitter off and do the slew during eclipse (10:48-11:13), turn X TX back on, and select the following target: LON = -98.27 LAT = 13.98 INC = 68.05 Time= 11:34:00 (spacecraft time) According to Joerg's listing of 24 April conditions, the Sun to -X axis angle is 95.20 for the specular point at 11:34 and the slew angle is 81.43. We could go earlier than 11:34, but this is also moving toward pericenter where timing errors become more important. I will look at the other target possibilities on the other dates. But this was my first reaction - can we still use 24 April if we change the target? Incidently, changing the taret in this way moves the specular point just east of Ascraeus Mons. The surface is likely to be almost exactly opposite to what our original target would have provided. Now extremely rough rather than extremely smooth - but that could be interesting in its own right. And being near pericenter means we would illuminate the surface with a stronger signal, compensating partly for the rougher surface. If either of you are still there and can give a preliminary response, I will follow up. In the meantime I will be looking at the other dates.

In addition, the -X violation is not only during the BSR pointing itself, but also partly during the slew. I will ask Helen if she can determine how short and close to the pericenter the BSR should be to not violate the -X constraint on april 24th. So in that case you would have a (short) observation with BCAL afterwards.

The BSR's on May 23rd and June 1st most likely will have to be cancelled because of this. In this period we will not have a reliable orbit file and Flight Dynamics will be too busy with the orbit correction to be able to fit BSR in.

Tanja and others: Thank you. I had postponed making travel arrangements until these were confirmed. A trip 2-5 April includes both monitoring the BSR at JPL and a trip to Baltimore for PDS/archiving; a trip 19-24 April includes the MaRS meeting and a joint MaRS/MGS_RST workshop in Munich and monitoring the 24 April BSR at JPL. I will assume the April dates are firm unless there is information otherwise. I made my travel arrangements for the 2-5 and 19-24 April trips over the weekend. Travel for 10 April is simpler and can wait. [For your information - Scheduling BSR on weekends is having interesting financial consequences. I was able to rent a car for the 24 April BSR for only about 10 euros. The car for 3 April is only slightly more expensive - perhaps because I pick it up at one airport and drop it at another.] >Could you please provide us and ESOC with feed-back on the last BSR ? Even >if you do not yet have all the scientifically analysed results it would be >very usefull for us to get feed-back on the operational side. I'm sorry; I have been sending reports, but I think I may have neglected ESTEC and ESOC. The experiment on 27 Febuary went very well. We have echoes in all four channels (SR, SL, XR, and XL), though the S-band echoes are very weak, as expected. It appears the antenna was pointed about 0.6 degrees away from the specular point; but that was our mistake - we updated the observation time without updating the target coordinates (the 13 minute "error" I raised earlier). Because the spacecraft was near apocenter, this places the HGA illumination about half of the X-band beamwidth from the optimum location, but there are still good echoes. There may be some interesting studies we can do BECAUSE of this offset (inferring angular properties of the scattering function); but we are not equipped at the moment to do such an analysis. The calibrations went extremely well. We collected some test data at DSS 43 several days in advance; the calibration procedure was about 90% complete at that time. So far as I'm aware, there were no calibration problems at all during the real experiment. I believe our estimates of receiver output power are accurate at the 5% level, most of which results from time variable gain in the ground receivers (which is almost impossible to monitor) and systematic errors, which are also very difficult to locate and quantify. Our success on 27 February is good news for the experiments on 3 and 10 April, which will also be at DSS 43. I am in the process of creating the required table of dielectric constant values (the Level 3 products). It appears the dielectric constant is about 2.15 at S-band and 2.05 at X-band. I wouldn't spend a lot of effort interpretting the difference; the error bars on the S-band results are larger than the 0.10 difference in the numerical values. But this is the direction we would expect: X-band probes a few cm into the surface, while S-band probes 3-4 times deeper. We expect the soil to be more dense (higher dielectric constant) as we go deeper. Both values are noticeably lower than what we have traditionally seen in equatorial regions but consistent with bistatic values determined at X-band near the target site of the failed MPL lander, which was at even farther southern latitudes. This suggests that the upper regolith has lower density as you move toward the south pole; but we need a few more data points (including some near the equator, such as from 24 April) before I write a paper on that subject. >For the BSR in MTP12 (April 24th,the one that had to be shifted because >of an ilumination violation) the total time had to be reduced further >(to only 13')according to the analysis by ESOC ... Please confirm that >you still want to keep it even for this very short duration. On 27 February, we processed 20 minutes of data; but only the central 10 minutes have truly useful signals. Those 20 minutes were collected near apocenter. The observation on 24 April is at one-third of the range, so the geometry is changing much more rapidly and the signal will appear and disappear more quickly. I'm expecting the surface to be smoother on 24 April - also causing the echo to appear and disappear more quickly (but be stronger at its peak). So the 13 minutes available should be enough to make a good measurement. As explained to the SWT in January, with inertial HGA pointing we are only making a measurement at a single point. Once we are able to track the specular point, the payoff from these experiments will increase significantly and we can become concerned about "reduced" observation times. Having more than 13 minutes on 24 April probably would NOT have improved the science so long as we are limited to inertial pointing. >As you probably saw from the email from Fed Jansen, after MARSIS deployment >there will be a period of 2-3 weeks with a number of orbit change manouvers >to get back to the original frozen orbit. >The BSR's on May 23rd and June 1st most likely will have to be cancelled >because of this.

We may not see the spacecraft signal until there are actually reflections from the surface in the passband. The spacecraft transmitters will be powered off for eclipse at BOT and they will be slewed to Mars before they are turned back on. Unless we can spot a little leakage from the HGA sidelobes, the surface echo may be all we have until the HGA is turned back to Earth AFTER the bistatic observation. This does NOT alter our operations. We'll still have a pre-cal, mini-cal, surface observation, mini-cal, and post-cal (long after the other steps). But no signal until we're at least part way through the second mini-cal. We'll need to have some confidence in our FRO's; but I think our successes to date give us the right to exercise a little confidence. I still like the idea of recording 100 kHz as backup, however. We're done with bistatic radar by 13:00 UT; but EOT doesn't come until 17:10, so we may want to think about ways to occupy our time while we wait for the Post-Cal.

I have a concern, in addition to the bistatic support planned for DOY 114, the SOE indicates that DSS-14 is required to provide 2-way, ranging, and telemetry. Previous bistatic DSN support requirements have been for downlink only, which have been very successful. DSN operations views bistatic support configurations and requirements as non-standard and difficult enough to perform. Adding uplink requirements; ranging, commanding; and telemetry into the same pass as bistatic radar significantly complicates DSN operations. From DSN operations perspective, to reduce the probability of operator error and maintain the level of bistatic support proficiency we have been providing, DSN bistatic radar supports should be planned as downlink only. Please advise.

We had convincing echoes within the passband for a couple minutes at the expected time. This was a case of flying a bit blind - the BSR was scheduled immediately after an eclipse and an occultation, both of which occurred just after beginning of track. So we didn't actually see the spacecraft carrier until AFTER the BSR. Also, the spacecraft had just passed pericenter, so both the carrier and echo were very dynamic. The target area was the east slope of Ascraeus Mons, where I suspect the surface is rather rough on centimeter scales base on past experience. Finally, this was the first BSR at DSS 14 this year, and the first application of our calibration procedures which have been applied successfully only at DSS 43 in their present form. So, from a number of perspectives, this will be an interesting set of observations to study. Thanks again to all who made the experiment possible.
