Looks like some weekend work will be needed to check out some of the new software being written today. Everything seems to be working well. Delivered the new Phase-3A flight software this afternoon. The test team will start running the post delivery system tests tomorrow. The software still needs more testing by the development team then it's getting.
More problems are likely to show up in the systems test, which is time consuming and annoying.
Fortunately, all of the Phase-3 software except the new imaging software is stable and tested. It's a good idea though to have backup software, just in case. Developing this Phase-3 backup software took months, and each orbit is about a month. We wouldn't want to lose 4 or 5 orbits of data developing the software after a recorder failure, if one does happen.
