NOAA GOES SATOPS Morning Report 14 November 2000
SATOPS MORNING REPORT – November 14, 2000
POES
No change in the status of the POES spacecraft.
A power failure at the Verizon facility in Silver Spring caused the
communication problems experienced during the night shift (11/12).
Long distance service restored at 1300Z. T1 line to FBKS was restored
to service at 1630Z.
NOAA-16 operations nominal. Reports from users indicate that the
APT signal is not as strong as expected. The VTX2 transmitter
was turned on during rev 698 at 2155Z on Thursday, November 9, after the
NOAA-14 conflict period, and to-date output power appears nominal.
Engineers continue to evaluate data.
Yesterday, engineers generated, uploaded, and executed on-board command
MACROs to cycle the NOAA-15 HIRS Filter Wheel as part of requested testing
from NASA and the instrument vendor, ITT. The objective of this command
MACRO is to toggle the Filter Wheel Off and On with a predetermined delay
between the two commands. MACROs were generated for 1.0 and 2.5 seconds.
The one second MACRO was uplinked on rev 13014 / F at 1709Z, and executed
multiple times on rev 13015 / F at 1849Z. The 2.5 second MACRO was
uplinked on rev 13017 / F at 2208Z, and executed multiple times on rev
13018 / W at 2332Z.
A NOAA-15 solar array slew from -45 degrees to +53 degrees is planned
for today as part of the continuing AVHRR (attempted) restoration efforts.
This commanding will occur on Rev 13029 / F, at 1827Z.
NOAA-14 rev 30272 / F at 1916Z on November 13: G1B noisy from
spacecraft. Received 81.2% of the data. Data recovery not possible
due to recorder management.
NOAA-14 rev 30280 / W at 0904Z on November 13: L1A noisy from
spacecraft. Received 72.2% of the data. Data recovery not possible
due to recorder management.
POES operations were nominal over the past 24 hours.
DMSP
No change in the status of the DMSP spacecraft.
DMSP operations were nominal over the past 24 hours.
GOES
No change in the status of the GOES spacecraft.
At 1301 and 1315Zz on Monday, November 13, GOES-8 frame breaks were
observed and attributed to local BER at CDA.
At 1402Z on Monday, November 13, a GOES-8 frame break was observed and
attributed to loss of signal sync.
GOES-9 and GOES-11 remain in the Z-Axis Precession (ZAP) storage mode
at ~105 deg W.
GOES operations were nominal over the past 24 hours.
