NOAA GOES SATOPS Morning Report – June 19, 2003 Day 170

DMSP 

On June 18, a restack of PR 3 and 4 was performed on OPS47. 

On June 18, a 10K 2 point dwell was performed on gyro 1 and 3’s motor current on OPS49.

All POES operations were nominal over the past 24 hours. 

GOES 

At 1136Z on June 18, GOES-12 telemetry was lost (and the schedule suspended) as a result of a TACTS2
crash at CDA.  The crew failed over to TCS1, reconfigured for command/telemetry and restarted the command schedule at 1142Z.  The GOES-12 1139Z Southern Hemi image was missed as a result. 

At 0325Z on June 19, a GOES-9 frame break was observed and attributed to loss of signal synchronization. 

GOES-10 will need an E/W maneuver (as a result of residual E/W drift from the N/S maneuver on Tuesday),
likely next Thursday. 

GOES-8 continues its westward drift at 1.06 deg/day.  The drift table with the estimated current position can be found at http://www.oso.noaa.gov/goes/GOES-8_Drift_Table.txt.
