February 1999============================================================================== DATE: 01-Feb-1999 DOY: 32 OPERATIONS ENGINEER(S): R. Yurow, C. Maroney SCIENTIST: CDS INSTRUMENT: CDS is in STANDBY mode, otherwise nominal. CDS GROUND SYSTEM: Nominal. DAY PLAN: Thermal Monitoring. COMMENTS: ============================================================================== DATE: 02-Feb-1999 DOY: 33 OPERATIONS ENGINEER(S): R. Yurow, C. Maroney SCIENTIST: CDS INSTRUMENT: SOHO entered Normal Mode and Medium Rate telemetry was regained at ~18:30 UT. CDS appears to nominal in STANDBY mode, as expected. New parity errors were detected in both the primary processor and secondary (science) processor memory space. CDS GROUND SYSTEM: Nominal. DAY PLAN: Thermal Monitoring. COMMENTS: ============================================================================== DATE: 03-Feb-1999 DOY: 34 OPERATIONS ENGINEER(S): R. Yurow, C. Maroney SCIENTIST: CDS INSTRUMENT: Performed CDS recovery. While in STANDBY mode the mechanism commissioning scripts for the slit, mirror, and OPS were performed. CDS was then returned to SNOOZE mode and a WATCHDOG error was triggered to reboot the instrument. The coldstart and warmstart procedures were then performed. Recovery procedures were completed at 20:54 UT. Finally, 5 FULLCCD studies were run with the door closed to test the NIS detector. CDS GROUND SYSTEM: Nominal. DAY PLAN: CDS Recovery. COMMENTS: ============================================================================== DATE: 04-Feb-1999 DOY: 35 OPERATIONS ENGINEER(S): R. Yurow, C. Maroney SCIENTIST: A. Fludra CDS INSTRUMENT: After the return to READY_BOTH mode on DOY 34, instrument temperatures continously increased until most temperature values entered HI ALARM. The apparent cause of the instrument heating up was leaving the spacecraft substitution heater enabled with a 60% duty cycle. At 4:09 UT, the duty cycle of the spacecraft substition heater was reduced to 30% in order to prevent a spacecraft thermal reconfiguration. Telescope temperatures subsequently began to drop. The spacecraft substitution heater was turned off at 16:36 UT. CDS opened its doors at 17:01 UT. CDS GROUND SYSTEM: Nominal. DAY PLAN: First Science.

COMMENTS: ============================================================================== DATE: 06-Feb-1999 DOY: 37 OPERATIONS ENGINEER(S): R. Yurow, E. Donaldson SCIENTIST: A. Fludra CDS INSTRUMENT: Nominal. CDS GROUND SYSTEM: Nominal. DAY PLAN: Science Operations. COMMENTS: ============================================================================== DATE: 07-Feb-1999 DOY: 38 OPERATIONS ENGINEER(S): C. Maroney, W. Hammond SCIENTIST: A. Fludra CDS INSTRUMENT: A parity error was detected in the primary processor memory space. Since the parity error is in the Two-Transputer module, a CDS reboot will not be done at this time. The science plan was aborted at 20:56 UT in order to aid in the analysis of the parity error. CDS GROUND SYSTEM: Nominal. DAY PLAN: Science Operations. COMMENTS: ============================================================================== DATE: 08-Feb-1999 DOY: 39 OPERATIONS ENGINEER(S): R. Yurow, C. Maroney SCIENTIST: A. Fludra CDS INSTRUMENT: A parity error was detected in the primary processor memory space. Since parity error is located in a safe location, no reboot is necessary. CDS GROUND SYSTEM: Nominal.

COMMENTS: ============================================================================== DATE: 22-Feb-1999 DOY: 53 OPERATIONS ENGINEER(S): R. Yurow, C. Maroney SCIENTIST: CDS INSTRUMENT: CDS spacecraft substitution heaters were disabled at 16:05 UT. Performed CDS recovery. CDS was brought down to SNOOZE mode and a WATCHDOG error was triggered to reboot the instrument. The coldstart and warmstart procedures were then performed. While CDS was in STANDBY a mechanism check was run and all mechanisms appear to be nominal. CDS was then brought up to READY_BOTH. During the recovery, none of the patches were reloaded either on the CDHS or the GIS. Recovery procedures were completed at 18:58 UT. Finally, 5 FULLCCD studies were run with the door closed to test the NIS detector. CDS GROUND SYSTEM: Nominal. DAY PLAN: CDS Recovery.
