- GALILEO STATUS REPORT
- December 29, 1992
-
- The Galileo Spacecraft is operating normally in the all-spin mode and
- is transmitting coded telemetry at 1200 bps (bits/second).
-
- Yesterday, the HGA (High Gain Antenna) warming turn to an attidue of 45
- degree off Sun angle was performed in preparation for the DDA-5 (Dual Drive
- Actuator #5) windup/hammering activities. Real-time commands were sent
- to update the system fault protection response and to modify attitude control
- fault protection presistence level in support of the motor acuation activity.
- Tracking was scheduled over DSS-43 (Canberr 70 meter antenna) and DSS-63
- (Madrid 70 meter antenna).
-
- Today, December 29, 1992, after approxiamately 20 hours at warming
- attitude, real-time commands for motor windup/hammering activities are being
- sent to begin at approxiamately 6:56 AM PST for a period of up to 20 hours.
- Tracking is scheduled over DSS-14 (Goldstone 70 meter antenna), DSS-43 and
- DSS-63.
-
- Tomorrow, the sun acquistion back from warming attitude is scheduled
- to begin at 2:48 PST. The star scanner checkout and real-time commands to
- reacquire celestial reference are scheduled. Also, real-time commands are to
- be sent to reconfigure the spacecraft. Tracking is scheduled over DSS-14,
- DSS-43 and DSS-63.
