SOHO Daily Meeting Minutes for Wednesday, 5 December 2001 ANNOUNCEMENTS ------------- * Science Seminar by Judit Pap (GESTC/UMBC) on Comparison of the VIRGO/CELIAS/SEM, and UARS/SUSIM UV irradiance time series with magnetic features derived from the SOHO/MDI images. The seminar will be in the EAF at 3:30 pm on Wednesday 5 December. * We will have visitors on Thursday and Friday in the EOF. * 26 meter automation testing scheduled for next Monday from 18-20 UT. * Anyone interested in being mentors for summer students (physics and computer science majors) should see the SOC's for details on a program. This program will be funded by a NASA grant, so there will be no cost for mentors. The first meeting is this Friday, 10am - 12 noon, so check with the SOC's as soon as possible if you are interested. FOT REPORT ---------- Spacecraft Status: Nominal Spacecraft Anomalies: None Accomplished Activities: VIRGO, CELIAS, RSL, New control star, mag = 6.7 Changed COBS TC Watchdog setting to 24 hours Planned Activities: VIRGO, CELIAS, SWAN Upcoming Operations: None Ground Anomalies: 338/1433 Corrupted command between D27 and the spacecraft delayed the commanding activities 3 minutes. 339/0300 String 5 x-terminal 2 failed, cause unknown. The power on the x-terminal was cycled per GSE instruction. Monitoring capabilities were reduced while the display system was down. 339/0622 Command modulation set incorrectly at D66. Delayed commanding activities 12 minutes. DR #M100342. 339/0636 Big pipe between JPL and Madrid failed. Unable to flow high rate TLM from 0636 to 1040. VC2 data was degraded from 0636 to 0652, recoverable from the CDR. DR #N100254.
