Recent Events:
 
Background Sequences — The spacecraft continues to operate nominally in performing the beta-supplement daily recording and transmission of science data. The mm052 sequence executed successfully from 00-195 (7/13/00) through 00-197 (7/15/00). The mm053 sequence has performed well since it started on 00-198 (7/16/00). It terminates on 00-201 (7/19/00). The mm054 sequence, successfully uplinked on 00-200 (7/18/00), begins executing on 00-202 (7/20/00).
 
Spacecraft Health:
 
All subsystems report nominal health.
 
Uplinks:
 
There have been 12 uplinks to the spacecraft during the last week, including new star catalogs and ephemeris files, MOC turn-on commands, instrument command loads, and the background sequences cited above. There have been 4739 command files radiated to the spacecraft since launch.
 
Upcoming Events:
 
The mm055 background sequence will be uplinked 00-203 (7/21/00).
