Stanford's third site review was held on 10 November. Tommy Thompson, Barbara Hesselgesser, and Sami Asmar attended from JPL. A final report on Stanford activities during the primary mission has been delivered to Thompson for use in briefing NASA on Stanford's work in hopes that Extended Mission funding can be obtained. Level 2 and 3 products from August-September 2005 MEX radio occultations have been generated by Joe Twicken and Dave Hinson and transferred to jupiter:/raid0/Stanford/{L2N,TPS}. There are 41 new L2N files and 21 new TPS files; new files have names of the form 52??????.{L2N,TPS}. Generation of occultation products should now be up to date. Open Loop Data ============== Data Collection --------------- We have completed quick-look processing on the following MEX RSR open loop bistatic radar data at Stanford. The first block is 25 kHz RSR data for X-band, the second block is 25 kHz RSR data for S-band, and the third block is 100 kHz data for both bands.

At about 19:17, however, an intefering signal appeared at the same frequency as the X-band surface echo and drifted toward lower frequencies at about 60 Hz/s. We will need to remove the interference from both the echo and the noise (which we use as a reference power baseline) in order to obtain useful quantitative results. The interference began about 7 minutes after the optimum specular geometry, so conclusions about the primary target should not be affected.
