Satellite(s) Involved:
NOAA-12
Instrument(s) Involved:
AVHRR,SEM
Product(s) Involved/Affected:
All Products using NOAA-12 AVHRR, and SEM instruments
Date/Time(UTC) of Initial Implementation:
Mid afternoon 28 July 2004
Details/Specifics of Change:
N-12 is still be monitored with no reoccurrence of problems or other
anomalies since the problem began. Analysis of the data shows the
loads being levied currently on the power system are being maintained and
voltages and currents are more than adequate to operate the satellite.
At approximately 4 pm (EST) today the solar array bias will be moved from
-60 to -50 degrees. If all goes as expected, recovery operations should
begin mid afternoon on 28 July (Wed) to turn the AVHRR back on line. The
satellite will enter a period of analysis following the AVHRR turn on and if
all indications from telemetry are nominal, the SEM will be place back on
line 29 July.
Completion of all payload turn on operations should be accomplished on 29
July.
