Minutes of SoHO EOF daily planning meeting, 13-Feb-1996 Notes taken by: Craig DeForest, MDI *** FOT Report: *** - The S/C is nominal -- there were no data losses or DSN schedule changes during the night. - Today, the FOT is spinning up the gyros and doing some calibrations for tomorrow's maneuver. - We have "hot backup" from the DSN starting at about 1830 today. - The script for tomorrow (in the form of a large OCD) is out for ESA review, and will presumably be back (and distributed?) this afternoon. *** Instrument Status: *** GOLF: Nominal. No specific activity at the moment; preparing for HOI today. VIRGO: LOI Door not open. Preparing for HOI. MDI: Nominal. Table uploads in NRT; door close in TSTOL for HOI. SUMER: Nominal. Will close door later -- preparing for HOI. CDS: Going through BDS commissioning; will shut doors today. EIT: Nominal; shutting door today. UVCS: Some measurements at 2.7RO yesterday; today, will prepare for HOI LASCO: Nominal; preparing to shut all doors today. CELIAS: Nominal. MTOF will be safed in NRT; TSTOL procedures will safe CTOF and STOF this afternoon. ERNE: Ok for HOI. [No representative; email notification] COSTEP: No word yet; presumed OK for HOI. *** Today's Operation: *** 1500 UT - 1800 UT: We have three hours of NRT-s 1800 UT: FOT takes over for SVM prep 2100 UT: TSTOLs to safe CELIAS and MDI [In fact, this was changed by the FOT after the meeting -- MDI is being safed at around 1830 UT] Wednesday 14-Feb: Everyone takes a day off (except the FOT people). Thursday 15-Feb: One hour of NRT-s is scheduled at 1500 UT. [Eliane is reshuffling the schedule to try and get more. MDI gave up some TSTOL time, so there should be at least 90 minutes of NRT-s.] *** HOI Forecast: *** There will be a long burn early Wednesday afternoon, followed by scattered delta-vees into the night. The last burn should happen by around 04:00 UT on Thursday, with sunny skies thereafter. *** Other news and discussions *** - During the GOLF oscillation test / rehearsal, MATRA would like more pointing data from MDI, who will run the same pointing regimen as during the S/C thermal test last weekend. - After the HOI maneuver, MDI will run their ISS in jitter-detection mode for a while, to look at the jitter spectra of the reaction wheels at their new spin rates after the maneuver. That'll be on the 16th and/or 17th of February. - On Thursday, during the TSTOL procedures, ECS will be testing the CMS again. They want teams to generate large command streams from their IWSs, for a pseudo-NRT session. (Commands will not be relayed to the spacecraft, but will be parsed through CMS). More details from Eliane later. - The Management meeting is at 11:00 EST not 10:30 EST, to make room for a stellar / GOLF meeting (to discuss the timing of the GOLF test). *** Other Business *** Art Poland speaks about data issues and science. (1) Has everyone been getting CDROMS of data? If there have been problems with receipt or with readability, talk to Dick Schneider about it. (2) Summary data should be getting to the Web, but apparently isn't being submitted by most experiment teams. Apparently, (A) the naming convention for summary data isn't well known, and (B) we're not supposed to publish our pictures until after the big PR release. (Currently, the summary-data pages aren't linked to any "public" page -- you have to know the URL to get to them.) While we can't "publish" on the web, we can "test" our PR system -- so please do stick your fun data on the Web site. More details on How To Do It will be forthcoming from Art. (3) Some science meetings would be a Nice Thing. Art and/or Joe Gurman recommends a weekly casual science get-together, on Thursdays. The first one will happen this Thursday at 2:00 PM EST in the EAF, and will focus on polar plumes. Sounds like fun -- SUMER, UVCS, and EIT have found some very interesting plume results -- and there's an upcoming JOP to try spotting the footpoints of some plumes with MDI. *** Extra bonus notes: results the GOLF-test/stellar-obs discussion *** [ Typos or misunderstandings are mine; the "official" schedule will be released by the ECS soon, I'm sure ] The schedule will be as follows: 17 Feb -- 5 hours of GOLF test rehearsal 1 - 2 hours of UVCS stellar obs 18 Feb -- UVCS observes 1-2 hours 19 Feb -- Starting at 0500UT, SUMER can observe the star. They will need at least two observation periods with a minimum of three hours, on the 19th or the 20th. 20 Feb -- UVCS star observations Thereafter, three days are allocated for GOLF's S/C test. They will start on the first available day (depending on the NEAR launch schedule): the 21st, 22nd, 23rd, or 24th.
