(DOY 256/0000z - 256/2359z)
Flight Operations Summary
Significant Spacecraft Anomalies: (The following are preliminary reports
of potential non-nominal performance that will be investigated.)
HSTARs:
13012 - SSR 1 not playing back Sci and not recording Eng@256/0858z
13014 - SCI: GSAcq (2,1,2) fails to FLBU (1,0,1)@255/2112z
COMPLETED OPS REQUEST:
19128-1 - Configure SSR-3 as the Logical Science Recorder (LSR)@256/1652z
19129-0 - Execute a short SSR-1 P/B through Port 1@256/1656z
19131-0 - Read/Reset SSR-1 Reed Solomon Error Status@256/2056z
19133-0 - Configure Logical Science Recorder (LSR) to SMS Default@256/2149z
COMPLETED OPS NOTES:
none
FGS ACQ STATUS:
SCHEDULED SUCCESSFUL
FGS GSAcq 6 5
FGS REAcq 9 9
OBAD with Maneuver 5 4
SIGNIFICANT EVENTS:
FLASH REPORT: Hubble Space Telescope Solid State Recorder #1 (SSR #1) suffered an anomaly at
256/08:58:22. A Science playback in process unexpectedly stopped. All subsequent attempts to dump
from SSR 1 have failed. Later Engineering records with SSR 1 also no longer worked. Science
Observations still on SSR #1 are; ACS 57 and 58; WFC3 44 and 45.
FLASH REPORT: SOLID STATE RECORDER #1 (SSR #1) SUCCESSFULLY RECOVERED; Commanding to reset SSR 1
was successfully executed at 256/21:00. Ops Request 19131 was executed and verified the 8001
pattern indicating the Reed-Solomon error. The error was then cleared and the 0040 pattern was
observed as desired. The FOT then successfully dumped the Science data off of SSR 1. Engineering
Recording was also observed to be successful on SSR 1. Ops Request 19133 was executed (256/21:46)
to reset the Logical Science Recorder configuration back to nominal operations. HST will resume
Automated Operations. In summary, no science data was lost as a result of the anomaly.
