Errors & Problems -------------------------------------------------------- 4.1 False Flare Problem We've had the following four false flares recently. date FM RDCT ON delta T Time of FM 10-Nov-94 16:50:42 16:51:59 77 sec 22:38 12-Nov-94 15:47:15 15:49:04 109 27:04 14-Nov-94 14:43:59 14:46:23 144 27:54 16-NOV-94 13:41:11 13:43:59 168 26:28 The offset time of the last false flare was the longest of the four examples we've had recently. So Hudson san advised us manually to shift both RDCT ON and RDCT OFF times by 3 minutes early. We tried it in the OP on 18-Nov-94. As the result, we didn't see any false flares on the next day. In the OPs after 19-Nov-94, we used the default times of both RDCT ON and RDCT OFF. 5. DSN Communications ------------------------------------------------------ 5.1 DSN Schedules arrived in time. 5.2 We had no Re-transmission requests last week. 6. Yohkoh/ASCA Pass Conflicts -------------------------------------------- There are the several strawman conflicts for week 49 and they were resolved at the Friday 2:00 pm meeting with Skinner_san of ASCA. 7.
