The nominal plan for day two of the test included sending real-time commands to cycle the power to the KaT for each uplink attempt. One opportunity was used to cut that time to 5 minutes. The result was that the KaT reset itself and came up in the expected frequency region. On the final day of testing, eleven different Ka-band uplinks were transmitted, with the KaT power cycled between each uplink. The KaT was seen to lock ten out of eleven times.
Further testing is scheduled for next week.
These data were the first ever obtained of the Jupiter synchrotron emission in the 2 cm wavelength range. This wavelength is unattainable from Earth-based telescopes. These combined data sets are being used to create new maps of the Jovian energetic particle distribution within Jupiter's radiation belts. This was the first joint meeting with the Huygens Science Working Team participating. The purpose of the meeting was to review the HRTF work done so far and to select the recovery scenarios that will be subjected to a detailed study in the next months.
