SOHO Weekly Meeting Minutes Week 03, 14-20 January 2002

1. Announcements

—————-

* Students in EOF around 17:45 UT

* Film crew in EOF on Tuesday
* A momentum management and station keeping maneuver is planned for

Tuesday, to increase the chances of getting MDI’s 60-day

continuous fulfilled. The change in plans were caused by a slip

of the TDRS launch. The current timeline for instrument safing and

recovery, as well as the maneuver itself, is available at:
http://soho.nascom.nasa.gov/soc/timeline_jan2002
Station 16 will be tested in regular operations by another spacecraft

on Saturday evening, and on one pass with SOHO on Sunday, so we will

know for certain that it’s working by Monday morning. If D16 is not

actually ready, the maneuver may still be performed, depending on

what the final DSN schedule will look like.
If TDRS launches after March 17, the next maneuver will most

likely be some time in early May. If they launch between March 8

(earliest possible time) and March 17, we will need another maneuver

during the two weeks following the launch, to have another attempt at

60 days of continuous. 
2. Operations Constraints

————————-

* DSN Contact:	Commanding on DSS-27 Monday, Wednesday, Saturday and

		and Sunday.  On Friday, commanding late on DSS-46

		because of two downlink only stations.
3. Coordinated Observations

Relevant Notes

————–

CDS:	Radial and Azimuthal Dependence of Coronal Density study on Monday,

	supporting EIT’s shutterless campaign on Thursday, and the usual

	weekly studies.
UVCS:	Coronal hole observations and synoptics.
LASCO:	C2/C3 synoptics.
EIT:	195 CME watch and synoptics once bakeout calibrations are

	finished on Monday.
MDI:	Full disk magnetograms and dopplergrams for continuous

	contact.
TRACE:	AR studies, shutterless campaign support on Thursday.
