The template is five days in duration, contains a specific set of observations, and will repeat continuously until ten days into the C23 sequence when a change in observations is desired. The data files were automatically delivered to the ISS Team Leader at University of Arizona and preliminary analysis shows excellent quality data. CDA personnel proudly reported that 91 mass spectra were obtained within the first 3 days of the template. The spectra were predominantly detected when the instrument was pointing toward Jupiter. Altogether around 2700 events were obtained.
Instrument status is nominal.
The CDA team thanks everyone involved who helped obtain these great results. The RPWS portion of the sequence appears to have executed flawlessly. For the first time, internal data management tools were used to count packet production, compare actuals to modeled usage, and decide on board to execute a high rate observation near the end of the Goldstone observation period using some of the difference between allocation and actual usage. Additionally, the first product delivery occurred for the C25 SPVT implementation activity. The C25 sequence is the last sequence that contains Jupiter-related observations.
