Details/Specifics of Change:
On April 29, SOCC issued the following notice.
"NOAA-14 hardware autonomously switched the power supply electronics to
backup. At 0512z on DOY 119, April 29, 2003, NOAA-14 experienced a
momentary 28v bus voltage in excess of 29 volts. This triggered an
autonomous switch of both the PSE mode controller and boost regulator from
primary to backup. Engineering analysis indicates this was most likely due
to degraded shunt performance. On orbit 42939, the Solar Array offset value
was commanded to –55 degrees to reduce the power. At a later date, when
shunt performance has stabilized, the mode controller and boost regulator
will be commanded back to primary." Users may notice data changes as
instrument temperature may go up or down due to the solar array shadow
moving.
