Good evening team,

 

The second perigee pass failed. SSC was having issues with the station and the station power was extremely low (between 11 and 34 watts throughout the pass). I switched to 2k and was able to get telemetry and make sure that the spacecraft itself was OK. I was also able to send a no-op. We’ll need to schedule an extra support sometime this week to redump the missing blocks.

 

Best,

All,

The 1^st perigee contact was intermittent for telemetry. The Orbit# 668 ATS was uploaded successfully, and the SSR_Dump will be re-dumped on the 2^nd perigee contact

The following objectives were accomplished

1. Reset Master timer
2. SSR_Dump (new)
3. CAR# 1423  Upload Orbit# 668 ATS
