Subsystem History:

Date Time Component Description
09/28/200617:04:00 Major spacecraft attitude perturbation resulted in autonomous battery undervoltage safing macro implementation turning off SBUV.
09/02/200514:40:00GRATING DRIVECommanding back to discrete mode was sucessful. Grating position changing, scanning nominal.
09/02/200514:35:00GRATING DRIVEEnable SBUV discrete mode to correct for anomaolous swap to null mode"."
09/01/200518:16:00GRATING DRIVESBUV grating motor ceased scanning and autonomously switched out of DISCRETE mode resulting in all operational modes reading NO"."
07/25/200512:50:00 Grating position problems detected during ozone products production resulted in no data. Further degradation of Grating drive suspected. Health telemetry appears nominal"."
11/18/200418:00:00DIFFUSERRe-initiate standard SBUV Diffuser reflectivity measurement operations.
07/22/200423:59:00GRATING DRIVERemove bi-weekly SBUV giant step from schedule permanently because of increased potential for grating drive anomaly.
07/09/200413:55:00GRATING DRIVESBUV grating motor power toggle recovery operation successful. Grating motor again operatiional.
07/09/200413:54:00GRATING DRIVEPower SBUV grating drive back on.
07/09/200413:48:00 SBUV strobe command.
07/08/200413:56:00FLEX MEMORYSELECT FLEX MEM 0
07/08/200413:55:00FLEX MEMORYSelect flex mem 3 and strobe.
07/08/200413:53:00GRATING DRIVERestart safety macro which tripped after grating drive temp exceeded 25.5
07/08/200402:51:00GRATING DRIVESBUV grating motor overran its nominal position at -670 and became stuck in Flex Memory 3 at position -921. This caused temp to rise through trigger point of safety macro (25.0 degs) which powered grating motor off at 07:52Z.
