All,

 

The first contact was nominal for CMD & TLM. The ATS was uploaded. The second Perigee contact was nominal for TLM but was unsuccessful for CMD. The second support was on USAK01 and the station was having amplifier issues throughout the support. MOC was unable to command the spacecraft and execute the SSR downlink due to this issue. Another downlink blind acquisition support has been scheduled on USHI01 for 07/24/21,205,00:00:00 – 01:00:00 at 64k. Station engineers will be inspecting the amplifier today, PR# 14637.

 

The inertial maneuver was successful, battery balancing is nominal, and spacecraft SOH is nominal.
