Solar Activity

Solar activity this week was relatively low. There are not visible active regions on disk. Solar activity is expected to be very low for the next three days (04-06 Apr).

Memory Management

The SSR reached a maximum of ~95 percent during this week.

Spacecraft Status

Detectors 3 and 8 are active and taking data.

The cold plate 1 and 2 temperatures are ~156.4K and 155.3K. As last week.

Currently the Cryocooler power is ~55 W and the acceleration is at ~11mg

= Detector issues

6 hours of VC1 data due to poor communications at AGO.

Other notes

Data was deleted on March 31 as the SSR fill level was very high. This move brought the SSR fill level down from 95% to 65% full. We skipped over data recorded from 2018-082-08:36 to 2018-084-12:07 UTC.

Spacecraft Management

A spin down experiment is currently been make. The expectation is that reducing the mechanical stress on the s-band communication subsystem, stable communications with the spacecraft can be achieved.

The procedure started on 3 April 2018 at 23:00 UT. The spacecraft achieved 10 RPM on 4 Apr 2018.
