All,
The USAK01 contact @133/19:00z was cut short due to the receiver dropping out during the pass. It looks like we were in a bad part of the antenna pattern. The
Eb/No was shifting between 12 and 18.5. Normally the difference is closer to 2 to 3 DB. And the receiver was between -118 and -121. At -121 is where we lose lock and the coherent signal returns back to center frequency (Non-Coherent).
The duration of the pass is from 19:00 – 1930z.
The spacecraft went thru another BCR Soft reset @133/22:32z. Standing CAR #997 BCR Software Reset Recovery was executed.
Power control was set back to Current
Heater tables – Tank 1 & 2 set points were set back to trip off @18 and trip on @16
CEU 5V was commanded to show on
PCMB was commanded to show on
Gyro was turned back on and accelerometer is the nutation sensor
