MAGELLAN STATUS REPORT February 6, 1991 The Magellan spacecraft and its radar system are performing nominally. All STARCALS (star calibrations) and DESATS (desaturations) of the past 24 hours were successful with attitude updates averaging 0.048 degree. Temperatures of several spacecraft subsystems have been near their alarm limits, and mission controllers are monitoring them closely. Last night, the M1037 command sequence was successfully sent to the spacecraft, with the associated radar control parameter and mapping quaternion files, and began execution this morning. ___ _____ ___ /_ /| /____/ \ /_ /| Ron Baalke | baalke@mars.jpl.nasa.gov | | | | __ \ /| | | | Jet Propulsion Lab | ___| | | | |__) |/ | | |___ M/S 301-355 | It's 10PM, do you know /___| | | | ___/ | |/__ /| Pasadena, CA 91109 | where your spacecraft is? |_____|/ |_|/ |_____|/ | We do!
