UVCS MISSION LOG ---------------- Date: 06 February 2002 ----- Last revision: 06 February 2002 (Wu) -------------- File Name: 2002.02.05.a.log ----------- Compiled by: R. Wu ------------ UVCS Activity: UVCS remains powered off until recovery plans can be -------------- solidified between SOC, FOT, other Science Teams UVCS Recovery begins at ~ 20:12 UT UVCS in Safe Configuration following Recovery SOHO Activity: (See Below) -------------- From email from SOC at Wed, 6 Feb 2002 02:05:06 +0000 (GMT): ------------------------------------------------------------ Fuel estimate, from Craig Roberts: --------------------------------------------------------------- From an initial look at the Doppler data, the ESR looked as follows: Through the major portion of the ESR, there was a slow rise in radial delta-V that amounted to approx. 0.088 m/sec. Then there was a rapid rise in radial delta-V over the final 70 or so minutes of the ESR that added a further 0.118 m/sec. The overall total radial delta-V observed was thus 0.206 m/sec. (The direction of this radial delta-V is away from Earth because of the dominance of the aft jets 3B, 4B.) I am modeling the perturbations on the orbit in accord with this 2-stage behavior displayed. Assuming a recovery delta-V burn to be performed the morning of the 7th (Thursday), my preliminary targeting results show the following: - Delta-V = 0.253 m/sec (antiSunward, 1A/2A) - Wall Time Duration = 36.7 min (5% duty cycle) - Fuel Usage = 0.2758 kg Momentum burn perturbations were included in the modeling. --------------------------------------------------------------- Summary of ESR-18 day 1, from Helmut Schweitzer: (Note that "instruments ... will be recovered tomorrow" is a bit optimistic, from our standpoint. Many instruments have only been turned on from a similar state about 2 times during the mission, and that was with the relevant personnel present at the EOF). ------------------------------------------------------------ The spacecraft is recovered to CRP, the data handling is back to the normal branch, TM is in high rate and the pointing is nominal. The instruments are still off and will be recovered tomorrow. The reason for the reconfiguration is not clear. After TM was back on Feb 5, 04:18, we found the spacecraft in the following condition: - DHS on the redundant side - AOCS in ESR - RF system on the redundant side - mainbus current 16A lower than normal - all instruments off, all substitution heaters off - recorder and antenna box off for no apparent reason - thermal control enabled - Undervoltage flag of the mainbus voltage set. It looks like the mainbus dropped momentarily and many LCL's went into the selfswitch-off at 23.5V. With the upload of the gyroless patch, we stopped todays activities and the spacecraft will remain in CRP overnight. ---------------------------------------------------------------- EOF Staff: Y.-K.

Wu Command file: No Commanding Activity: --------- 1) UVCS Powered Off by as yet Unknown Events Sequence: None SCI_SPEC: (See Above) UVCS remains powered off at this time. Only Low Rate / Spacecraft Telemetry is available. Only after power on will telemetry received in Medium Rate become meaningful.
