Work on the new UARS attitude control flight software continued this week. Procedures for the 25 August uplink are currently being developed. The output vector was compared to a vector obtained by generating a rotational matrix from the quaternion. The two resulting vectors differed. An inverse transformation was also done with the rotational matrix method and this result matched that of the algorithm.
Correction are in process.
FOT continues to develop an updated Power Profile for UARS due to the current status of the Modular Power System. FOT continues to support the new UARS ground system re-engineering effort. No battery meeting this week. The current clock will roll-over on 16 September 1997 and the epoch must be advanced prior to this date. This is a coordinated effort between a change in the flight software and corresponding changes in the supporting ground software.
