The most recent spacecraft telemetry was acquired from the Goldstone tracking station Tuesday May 29. The Cassini spacecraft is in an excellent state of health and is operating normally. Slow Time Memory Readout. The D7.4 modules file was successfully uplinked to the spacecraft with confirmation that all four module programs registered as expected. ISS performed both a photometric calibration and a dark frames activity.
Initial results show good agreement.
The KaT was power-cycled according to the new procedure but still failed to operate properly. The RS team powered off the SBT and then allowed the Radio Frequency Instrument Subsystem bay to reach a stable thermal point. The KaT was power-cycled again, after which it attained a good operating state. The KaT will remain powered-on for the duration of the SCE testing, and the KaT behavior studied further. The SVT has begun the Preliminary Sequence Integration and Validation phase for C27 Sequence development, and released the integrated sequence late this week.
