02:10  Begin Pre-cal at DSS 14
       Start recording after Step 4; stop after Step 18

05:10  Beginning of track (no spacecraft signals)

05:20  Ingress occultation (no spacecraft signals)

05:58  FRO_x = -8000 Hz; FRO_s = -2500 Hz
       X-RCP FGAIN = 68 dB; all others 60 dB

05:59  Begin 25 kHz recording

06:10  Begin MiniCal #1

06:23  Begin Slew #1

06:24  S Tx ON (spacecraft still in occultation)

06:25  End MiniCal #1 (end of Step 5)
       Egress occultation

06:31  X Tx ON

06:38  End Slew #1
       Begin 100 kHz recording

06:49  Predicted strongest surface echoes

07:05  Begin MiniCal #2

07:20  End MiniCal #2

07:23  End Slew #2

07:49  S-Tx OFF
       Declare EOT (radio science no longer needs tracking)

07:55  Begin Post-cal (approximate)

08:10  Scheduled EOT
