Date Time Component Description
04/17/200714:11:00TIP2TIP was switched from Side 2 to Side 1 as part of End Of Life Testing.
03/14/200720:05:00DTR5AThis will stop DTR5A.
11/30/200618:51:00 Set 1 second dwell on NESAAI1 to try and better understand earth sensor response to STX-1 turnon.
09/28/200614:47:40 Major spacecraft attitude perturbation resulted in autonomous bus swap to A (from B).
07/19/200614:25:00TIP1Changed to TIP side 2 from TIP side 1 in order to ascertain actual GN2 low pressure value. Pressure dropped from 223 raw (578 PSI) to 216 (559 PSI), battery voltage dropped from 193 (raw) to 187.
07/14/200612:00:00TIP1TIP drift during the 1990's (which ceased in 2000) has made it impossible to determine actual low pressure nitrogen value, knowledge which is imperative prior to performing the Pitch Over Maneveur. Plan TIP swap (permanent reconfiguration) in order to ascertain the true value.
10/11/200512:00:00MIRPEnable MIRP rephasing for 10 seconds over the South Pole on every orbit.
08/02/200514:30:00MIRPSelect AVHRR channel 2 for APT channel A and select AVHRR channel 4 for APT channel B. All other MIRP settings will remain the same. (Documentation was incorrect, previous commanding selected channels 2 and 3)
08/01/200514:35:00MIRPSelect AVHRR channel 2 for APT channel A and select AVHRR channel 4 for APT channel B. All other MIRP settings will remain the same.
02/24/200506:13:00DTR3APlayback test GAC recorded by DTR3A. End GAC record capability test. Results negative.
02/24/200504:15:00DTR3ATest Recorder 3A capability. Start GAC Record
02/01/2005DTR3ADTR3A degraded further after restacking. Taken out of rotation, status downgraded to RED.
01/25/200513:05:00DTR3ARestack tape on DTR3A to try and correct playback degradation problem.
01/24/2005DTR3ADTR3A showing signs of degradation symptomized by incomplete playbacks. DTR3A downgraded to YELLOW
07/22/2002TIP1Time Stamp File clock offset reconciliation
12/04/200107:30:00MIRPBegin MIRP rephasing out of stored commands
11/06/200118:25:00MIRPEnabled and disabled MIRP rephase. Data remained noisy.
10/19/200112:00:00MIRPAll MIRP rephaseing taken out of stored command table, rephase disabled so that other POES data is not effected by AVHRR anomaly.
11/17/2000XSU1Loss of HRPT data and red limits on XSU-1
01/01/199612:00:00DTR2ADTR 2A failure
