I returned Wednesday night, but came home with the flu. This is the first day on which I could think. A message from JPL says they saw "peak echoes" at 08:28. I'm assuming the experiment went well. It will be several days before I have the data here at Stanford since I still have to trasnfer some of the earlier files, which were not available when I left. I will provide you with a more detailed report after I have examined the data. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - From Daniel.S.Kahan-121461@jpl.nasa.gov Tue Sep 27 11:40:14 2005 Return-Path: Received: from nmta2.jpl.nasa.gov (nmta.jpl.nasa.gov [137.78.160.215]) by magellan.stanford.edu (8.11.7p1+Sun/8.11.7) with ESMTP id j8RIeEr12415 for ; Tue, 27 Sep 2005 11:40:14 -0700 (PDT) Received: from xmta2.jpl.nasa.gov (xmta2.jpl.nasa.gov [137.78.160.56]) by nmta2.jpl.nasa.gov (Switch-3.1.7/Switch-3.1.7) with ESMTP id j8RIeDxM012689; Tue, 27 Sep 2005 11:40:13 -0700 Received: from jpl.nasa.gov (eis-msg-065.jpl.nasa.gov [137.78.160.102]) by xmta2.jpl.nasa.gov (Switch-3.1.7/Switch-3.1.7) with ESMTP id j8RIeDdp008224; Tue, 27 Sep 2005 11:40:13 -0700 Received: from [137.78.160.72] (Forwarded-For: [137.78.78.85]) by mailhost4.jpl.nasa.gov (mshttpd); Tue, 27 Sep 2005 11:40:13 -0700 From: Daniel S Kahan To: Dick Simpson 650-723-3525 Message-ID: <20ece1fff7.1fff720ece@jpl.nasa.gov> Date: Tue, 27 Sep 2005 11:40:13 -0700 X-Mailer: iPlanet Messenger Express 5.2 HotFix 1.25 (built Mar 3 2004) MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Language: en Subject: MEX DOY 249 Bi-Static Radar Data X-Accept-Language: en Priority: normal Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Source-IP: eis-msg-065.jpl.nasa.gov [137.78.160.102] X-Source-Sender: Daniel.S.Kahan-121461@jpl.nasa.gov X-AUTH: Internal IP Content-Length: 1641 Status: RO Dick, The Mex Bi-Static Radar data from DOY 249 have been played back to the TDS by the new method I mentioned.

Returning sick from two meetings in Europe 10 days after the experiment obviously affected my routine. The experiment itself seems to have gone very well. There was an operations error at the end which resulted in loss of the second BCAL (DSS 63 broke track and began the ground post-cal after the second slew). The reason for this error is not known. But, if the pre-experiment spacecraft calibration data are good (as they appear to be), there should be little or no impact on the science. There are very strong echoes in all four channels.
