COMMAND TRANSMISSION & VERIFICATION OPERATIONS
Voyager 1 command operations consisted of a command loss timer reset on 08/17 [DOY 229/1830z]. The spacecraft received the command.
Voyager 2 command operations consisted of the uplink of seven bracketed command loss timer resets, sent on five-minute centers using 0.5 Hz steps, on 08/18 [DOY 230/1157z] at DSS-43. The spacecraft received elements two through six of the seven sent.
SEQUENCE GENERATION OPERATIONS
Submitted draft Sequence Requests for CCSL A033 to the SIE.
DATA RETURN OPERATIONS
Voyager 1 Data Processing and Operations:
There were 103.9 hours of DSN scheduled support for Voyager 1 of which 85.1 hours were large aperture coverage. There were no real-time or schedule support changes or significant outages during the period.
Science instrument performance was nominal for all activities during this period. One frame of GS-4 data was recorded this week with the PLS modulator switched off. The EDR backlog is 9 days.
Voyager 2 Data Processing and Operations:
There were 86.0 hours of DSN scheduled support for Voyager 2 of which 44.4 hours were large aperture coverage. There were no real-time or schedule support changes made during the period.
There was one significant outage on 8/20 [DOY 232] when 4.0 hours of data were degraded due to unknown causes at DSS-42 [DR A03934].
Science instrument performance was nominal for all activities during this period. One frame of GS-4 data was recorded this week. The EDR backlog is 9 days.
FLIGHT SYSTEM PERFORMANCE
Voyager 1 performance was nominal during this report period. Major activities included DTR Maintenance and a PMPCAL on 8/17 (DOY 229/230).
Voyager 2 performance was nominal during this report period.
