The ORT simulated signal loss and re-acquisition due to occultation during mapping operations. The Verification Test Laboratory completed C12 Update testing. Spacecraft health and performance are normal. Mars Observer was launched September 25, 1992. One Way Light Time is 16 minutes and 9 seconds.
Indications are that all spacecraft subsystems and the instrument payload are performing well.
Flight Sequence C11 is currently active. The ORT exercised Team preparedness for normal Mapping activities. The uplink took approximately 6 hours and was successful.
