STEREO Weekly Meeting Minutes for 2006-08-15 (Week 33)

ANNOUNCEMENTS
-------------

* Launch now scheduled for Aug 31.

* STEREO Weekly Planning meeting/telecon occurs every Tuesday effective
  8/15/2006 from 12:30 PM to 1:30 PM Eastern Time (US & Canada).
  Where: STEREO MOC Conference Room, Mod6.

* Weekly schedule available up through day 5 for Ahead spacecraft.  Schedule
  for B spacecraft will be produced based on A's schedule, with offset to keep
  A & B activities from overlapping.

INSTRUMENT STATUS

N/A


OPERATIONS CONSTRAINTS
----------------------

* Reminder: No instrument data will be downloaded from the SSR during 1st week.

* The baseline plan is still to turn instruments off for maneuvers.
  Instruments will be powered off during the track before a maneuver and
  powered on again during the succeeding track after the maneuver.  If the
  backup maneuver is needed, instruments will remain off.  There may be a
  possibility of keeping some instruments powered on during a maneuver.

* SECCHI may have a constraint about powering up at 1.8 kbps, and may decide to
  stay off until they can power up at 3.6 kbps.

* Most activities scheduled for East coast daylight hours (Goldstone).

* Engineering burns 1-2 minutes during.  Second engineering burn involves +X
  thrusters--SECCHI may wish to leave doors closed.

* Discussion of operational requests from instrument teams, reproduced below.
  When scripts are fully tested on simulator, they will be placed on schedule.

	* SECCHI campaign DSN pass duration             Implemented
	* IMPACT/MAG calibration roll changes           Tests in progress
	* Beacon convolutional 1/6 encoding             Implemented
	* SWAVES calibration roll                       Accepted
	* SECCHI COR calibration roll                   Tested on simulator

* GT/G&C commissioning is still under discussion.  Although activities appear
  in the plan regarding the GT, these entries are placeholders.

* IMPACT/MAG calibration roll will be scheduled during a track.

* IMPACT needs SECCHI to exercise its mechanisms after HGA slew associated with
  MAG calibration roll.
