SOHO Recovery Updates


12 September 1998

There were no changes in the spacecraft. Battery charge and temperature, and propulsion system temperatures are stable and being maintained using the 2 hour charging and 8 hour heating cycles started on September 10. This mode will change to two cycles of 2h/5h right before the attitude recovery maneuver to increase the charge of the batteries.

Receiver 1 was tested twice without accomplishing lock.

The definition, coding, and verification of attitude recovery and contingency procedures continues.
