DOY: 335
OPERATIONS ENGINEER(S):  R. Yurow / C. Maroney
SCIENTIST: T. Kucera
CDS INSTRUMENT:  
  An ESR was manually triggered at ~19:15 after a spacecraft maneuver was
  automatically aborted.  This caused CDS to return STANDBY mode.  The 
  spacecraft substitution duty cycle was then reduced to 60% on COBS #63
  while COBS #62 was disabled.  This change was made to compensate for the new 
  CDS operating mode (internal heaters are enabled in STANDBY mode).

  CDS remains in STANDBY mode. 
  Attempted reboot of CDHS to clear parity errors and shorten recovery time.
  However, CB3RESET failed to trigger a CDHS reset.  CDS is currently in
  STANDBY mode with secondary (science) processor enabled.  The CDHS will have
  to be reset prior to resumption of instrument operations.
  A parity error was detected in thr primary processor memory space, it
  will be cleared during CDS recovery.

CDS INSTRUMENT:  
  CDS was returned to SNOOZE mode at 17:47 UT followed by a CDHS reset at
  17:48 UT.  At 18:14 UT CDS was returned to STANDBY mode and at 19:01 UT
  spacecraft substitution heaters were disabled.  Recovery procedures were
  completed at 19:25 UT.  Following the recovery, a mechanism test was
  successfully performed.  CDS doors were then opened at 23:18 UT.  Finally,
  a NIS image test and pointing test were performed.

  Attempted to run new version of FFCAL for 1st time, errors within the 
script called for aborting the FFCAL.  Ron worked out the bugs in the FFCAL
and we ran FFCAL again, howeverm the script then had to be aborted due to
end of the test period.  A second test has been scheduled for Friday (351)
at 15:30 UT.

  Instrument temperatures are eleveated by between .5 - 1.0 DegC.
Base panel temperature remains stable ~23.0 DegC.  Have instructed interns
to keep an eye on instrument temperatures over the weekend.
  Another test run of FFCAL was made at ~15:30 UT.  Script seemed to behave
as expected.  Nominal run time may however be in excess of 1 hour.  May need
to trim some pointings from script in order to reduce run time and OPS motor
temperature (+25.0 DegC).

  While attempting to abort current study, inadvertantly sent "cb9abort"
instead of "cb5abort".  Began procedure to recover secondary processor.
