                            FROM THE
      KENNEDY SPACE CENTER/CAPE CANAVERAL AIR FORCE STATION

                      Launch Minus 55 Days

Date of report:     7-23-92        Time of report:     6:00 pm EDT


Sampling of the hydrazine was completed this morning.  The MO/TOS
(Mars Observer/Transfer Orbit Stage) interface test was started
during the afternoon and is continuing well at this writing.

Work by the tiger team on the communications problem that prevent
reliable loading of the spacecraft has revealed a noisy leading
edge on the data and clock signals.  The circuit is being
breadboarded by JPL to confirm the hypothesis and to test several
potential fixes.  These fixes may solve any potential problem that
is waiting to be found in the launch pad configuration.  In
addition, a method to sync the multiplexer to the data clock has
been discovered which may improve the performance of the
multiplexer/demultiplexer system.

Loading of the hydrazine is scheduled for tomorrow morning, to be
followed by a PDS (Payload Data Subsystem) GO/NO GO and checkout of
the pyro circuits in the new adapter harness.

The Project is organizing a review of the MO battery situation as
the result of the GRO battery failure and the recent TOPEX battery
review.  This MO battery review is scheduled for Tuesday morning,
July 28, 1992.

                      Launch Minus 50 Days

Date of report:     7-28-92        Time of report:     4:40 PM EDT

The wet weight and center-of-gravity measurements were completed
last night.  Today's operations were concerned with the post
measurement re-calibration of the weight and cg fixture and
preparing for the mating to the TOS (Transfer Orbit Stage) adapter.
Actual mate to the adapter is scheduled for later tonight.  Tensioning
of the V-band will occur on Wednesday, to be followed by additional
mechanical closeouts.

The Battery Review teleconference was held this afternoon, and
resulted in a decision to fly the currently installed Gates
batteries.

TOS is working an interface problem with Titan involving the
engagement of the locking feature of the nutplate which secures the
TOS to the Titan.  The worst case result of this problem will
require changing out of the bolts in this joint and a resultant one
day delay in the scheduled MO mate to TOS.  This issue should be
solved tomorrow when any schedule impact should be known.

                    /\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\


ATTENTION:

     Geomagnetic activity surpassed the minor storm threshold at 06:00 UT on
23 July with an estimated middle-latitude running 24-hour A-index of 32.
Activity appears to be subsiding gradually with less frequent periods of
minor storming.  As a result, this minor geomagnetic storm is expected to be
short-lived.

     Periods of minor storm activity can be expected over the next 12 to 18
hours in the local night and early morning sectors.  Isolated and localized
periods of major storming will remain possible over the high latitude regions
for the next six to 12 hours (until approximately 15:00 UT on 23 July).

     Conditions on 24 July are expected to be unsettled to mildly active,
with a gradual trend toward quiet to unsettled levels of activity by 25 July.

     This minor geomagnetic storm is expected to end later this UT day.

Sampling of the fuel (MMH) was accomplished this morning, and after
some difficulty with a contaminated container, the sample was sent
to the lab for analysis late this afternoon.  If the results are
positive, fueling will start early tomorrow morning and continue
all day.

Trouble shooting of the communications problems between the
spacecraft computers and the spacecraft checkout station continued
this afternoon.  At this writing, commands had been successfully
transferred in a configuration that bypassed the TOS (Transfer Orbit
Stage) adapter harness, the TOS and the Titan III support equipment.
This is not the configuration required for the TOS interface test, but
is a condition where we had been successful in transferring commands
previously.  Several backup paths involving RF links and alternate
data paths are being readied as contingencies.

Planning for spacecraft mechanical closeout (final flight
preparations of blankets, cables, etc.) activities is underway.

As the result of the recent failure of a Gates battery in the GRO
spacecraft, and potential battery decisions by the TOPEX project,
an activity has been started to understand the implications of a
possible change out of Mars Observer's Gates batteries for the
Super NiCd Eagle-Pritcher batteries previously purchased for
contingency purposes.

                       MAGELLAN STATUS REPORT
                           July 24, 1992

1.   Since Monday, July 20, Magellan has continued to perform 
     a normal mapping command sequence, but with transmission 
     of radar data back to earth suspended.  Today a new 
     sequence, M2206, will be started which will keep the High 
     Gain Antenna pointed toward Earth to support maximum 
     gravity measurements using Transponder A.  

2.   Since turn off, Transponder B has cooled to about 24 C 
     with the temperature reductions obtained this week by 
     completion of radar heater turn off and offpointing the 
     solar panels to eliminate excess electrical power.  These 
     actions have prepared Magellan for a Transponder B test 
     next week (July 28) when the transmitter will be turned 
     on to observe the behavior of its x-band signal as the 
     transmitter warms up.  Information on cold mode and warm 
     mode of operations will be tested.  This test will be 
     stopped after two days and transponder B will be turned 
     off.  

3.   After the transponder B test, normal gravity tracking 
     operations will resume with transponder A while 
     transponder B test results are analyzed in preparation 
     for future radar mapping operations in early September.  

4.   Plans for the gravity Orbit Trim Maneuver on September 
     14, 1992 continue on schedule to begin Cycle-4 operations 
     from a lower orbital periapsis to enhance gravity data 
     collection.  

5.   The Data Management and Archive Team has completed the 
     second delivery of Magellan data product catalog 
     information to the Planetary Data System for their use in 
     cataloging Magellan data products.  This delivery 
     represents Magellan data collected from 15 September 1990 
     through 17 May 1991, which includes 6,513 data products.
