SOHO EOF WEEKLY PLANNING MEETING March 08, 1996 Chair: E.Larduinat Minutes: Bernhard Fleck _________________________________________________________________________ Agenda 1) Updates on tests and SVM activities schedule 2) Status of activities performed during week of March 04 to March 10. 3) DSN schedule for week of March 11. 4) Planned science activities for week of March 11. 5) AOB ________________________________________________________________________ TESTS AND SVM ACTIVITIES SCHEDULED FOR MARCH 1996 1) J3. Off-pointing test. o Has been further delayed until first week in April. o SUMER and LASCO need to close their doors. o EIT would like to extend to 20 arcmin and stay for about an hour. Potential problem with LOI. 2) Intercalibration 1 and 9 performed on March 5 and 6. 3) IIDE test o Still scheduled for March 23-24 o All Master/Receiver configurations should be exercised. 4) J1. S/C Roll Test. (unchanged) o Combined activities planned for March 19 to March 21 to include: reaction wheel test, J1 roll test, momentum management(s), Trim burn, and possibly an additional momentum management. o In order to minimize instruments door closing and wheel off-loading operations, J1 should be performed before the trim burn. o The length of the trim burn is still TBD. 5) COBS/ACU Software patch. o Planned for March 11 to March 15 o Roll part of the GOLF-S/C oscillation test will be done ASAP after the ACU patch. It will last 16 hrs, needing 2 hrs at beginning and 2 hrs at end for commanding. 6) S7. Medium Term Pointing Test. o Moved to Saturday March 16. o 2 to 3 hours o No thermal changes. No "disturbing" movements 7) Ongoing - S8. Pointing Stability Test. (unchanged) MDI is working with MMS to periodically provide jitter information based on various wheel speeds. Only involves MDI and should have little impact on science operations. Planned for about 1/2 hr every 3 days. TEST PERFORMED THIS WEEK Rehearsal of J3 Off-Pointing test and JOP039 The instruments that participated are MDI, CDS, EIT, LASCO, SUMER and UVCS. Congratulations to Craig DeForest from the MDI team for his excellent work. ________________________________________________________________________ MARCH SCHEDULE UPDATE M Feb 26 SSD6 - Telemetry submode test T Feb 27 W Feb 28 T Feb 29 F Mar 01 S Mar 02 SSS2/SSD11 - Tape recorder test S Mar 03 M Mar 04 T Mar 05 Intercal 1 W Mar 06 Intercal 9 T Mar 07 Rehearsal - J3 Off-pointing test + JOP039 (Polar Plumes) F Mar 08 S Mar 09 S Mar 10 M Mar 11 COBS s/w patch T Mar 12 Preparation for ACU s/w patch W Mar 13 ACU s/w patch T Mar 14 Test ACU s/w patch F Mar 15 Contingency for s/w patches + GOLF roll oscillation test S Mar 16 S7 - Medium term stability test S Mar 17 Gyro calibration M Mar 18 Reaction wheel test + J1 - Preparation T Mar 19 J1 - S/C roll test W Mar 20 Momentum management, Trim burn T Mar 21 Trim recovery F Mar 22 S Mar 23 *** IIDE test S Mar 24 M Mar 25 T Mar 26 VIRGO LOI cover W Mar 27 VIRGO LOI cover T Mar 28 80-hour contact (MDI) F Mar 29 80-hour contact (MDI) S Mar 30 80-hour contact (MDI) S Mar 31 Start of the 34-meter antenna support Planned end of commissioning phase M Apr 01 *** J3 - Off-pointing T Apr 02 *** W Apr 03 *** T Apr 04 *** F Apr 05 S Apr 06 S Apr 07 April 24, 25 and 26: Continuous contact (MDI MEETINGS EOF Daily Meeting Every day 10am in the EOF EOF Weekly Meeting Every Friday following the daily meeting in the EOF Science Club meeting Every Wednesday 2pm in the EAF SPWG March 15 ________________________________________________________________________ DSN Schedule for week of March 11 to March 17.

Time reserved for SVM activities: The COBS and ACU software patches will take most of the contact times from Monday March 11 to Thursday March 14. During these days NRT will be available when possible between the s/w upload, verification and test activities. The time slots where NRT is most likely to be available are: Monday 11during the first pass (09:00 to 15:20 UT) Monday 11 at the end of the second pass (before 01:00 UT) Thursday 14 at the end of the last pass (before 00:50 UT) On Friday 15, NRT should be available during most of the GOLF roll-oscillation test On Saturday S7 will take approximately 2 to 3 hours (time/pass TBD) On Sunday the gyro calibration will take a total of 2 hours in chunks of ~15 minutes (time/pass TBD) IAP files have been received from EIT LASCO SUMER CDS ________________________________________________________________________ AOB Input from the Telemetry submode test was received from SUMER.
