All,

The perigee contacts were nominal for command, but had intermittent telemetry during the 1st SSR data dump @0200z and had to decrease the telemetry rate to 160k. The 2nd contact was changed from HAW01 to AK01 @320k and extended in order to redump the SSR data from orbit# 668.

 

Objectives during the contacts

  1. Reset master timer
  2. CAR# 1426 Upload Orbit# 669 IBEX-Lo Gain test (23 Nov 23)
