SOHO Weekly Meeting Minutes Week 25, June 16 – June 22, 2003

1. Announcements

----------------
* HGA Anomaly Update: Since resumption of the Z axis movements yesterday,
  we received the first pulse at the expected time, but two pulses expected
  after that have not arrived. 

  Meanwhile, we have also learned that the antenna ground test by
  Saab-Ericsson showed that the center of the beam is not centered on the
  intended zero point of the mechanical coordinates. Thus, the conclusion
  from the 4 June HGA test is now somewhat in doubt - the expected beam
  position for the "motor OK" case can not be determined with sufficient
  precision to support the original conclusion. 

  Nominal operations of the antenna will be continued. If we keep missing
  steps, another offpoint maneuver will be performed to determine the
  antenna movement since 4 June. This should provide a definitive
  discrimination between the "motor OK" and "TM OK" cases. 

  The maneuver is tentatively being scheduled for Wednesday 18 June, with
  Thursday 19 June as a backup. We expect the maneuver to be similar to the
  last one, but somewhat shorter.


2. Operations Constraints
-------------------------
* Commanding times for the week (note: some changes may occur on 
  Wednesday and/or Thursday, if an offpoint maneuver is being performed).

  Monday -    D66 until 17:20 UT then D27 starts at 19:15 UT.
  Tuesday -   D54 until 17:20 UT then D27 starts at 18:15 UT.
  Wednesday - D27 until 21:30 UT then D46.
  Thursday -  D66 until 17:30 UT then D27 until 21:30 UT then D46. 
  Friday -    D27 until 14:30 UT then good stations.
  Saturday -  Commanding is good all day.
  Sunday -    Commanding is good all day.
