WEEKLY MEETING MINUTES Week 03, 14-20 January 2002 1. Announcements ---------------- * Students in EOF around 17:45 UT * Film crew in EOF on Tuesday * A momentum management and station keeping maneuver is planned for Tuesday, to increase the chances of getting MDI's 60-day continuous fulfilled. The change in plans were caused by a slip of the TDRS launch. The current timeline for instrument safing and recovery, as well as the maneuver itself, is available at: http://soho.nascom.nasa.gov/soc/timeline_jan2002 Station 16 will be tested in regular operations by another spacecraft on Saturday evening, and on one pass with SOHO on Sunday, so we will know for certain that it's working by Monday morning. If D16 is not actually ready, the maneuver may still be performed, depending on what the final DSN schedule will look like. If TDRS launches after March 17, the next maneuver will most likely be some time in early May. If they launch between March 8 (earliest possible time) and March 17, we will need another maneuver during the two weeks following the launch, to have another attempt at 60 days of continuous. 2. Operations Constraints ------------------------- * DSN Contact: Commanding on DSS-27 Monday, Wednesday, Saturday and and Sunday. On Friday, commanding late on DSS-46 because of two downlink only stations. 3.
