EOS Aqua AMSR-E Performance Status MOWG MeetingSeptember 23, 2014Huntsville, Alabama Byron Graves Aqua Instruments Engineer Aqua/Aura Flight Operations Team phone 301-614-5761 Byron.Graves@nasa.gov AMSR-E MOWG - September 2014
AMSR-E Status Performance Update EOS Aqua FOT September 24th, 2014
Background • Spun-down on Oct. 4th 2011 due to excessive Torque • Sept. 19th/20th 2012, 6 trial run-up to 4rpm were conducted, though antenna started rotation only reached around 1 rpm. • On Dec. 4th2012, command operation for the low speed(2rpm) rotation restart was carried out. Following fluctuations in rotation rate, the rotation became stable at 2rpm. AMSR-E MOWG - September 2014
Stable Rotation Calibrations • Five gain offsets control and error flag clear have been conducted. • January 30th 2013 23GHz (H polarized wave) • July 18th 20136GHz (V polarized wave) and 23 GHz (H polarized wave) • September 6th 201389GHz (B-side V-polarized wave) • February 7th 20146GHz (V polarized wave) and 23 GHz (H polarized wave) • June 5th 2014 89 GHz (B-side V-polarized wave) AMSR-E MOWG - September 2014
Stage III ADA Torque & Motor Current March Peak Lowest consistent averages since 2009
August 2014 Averages • Torque & Current (Averages) • ADA CMD Torque: 0.733 Nm (0.859 Nm since Stage 3 Spin-up) • ADE B Motor Current: 0.765 A (0.902 A since Stage 3 Spin-up) • Temperatures (Averages) • Rotor A: 9.205DegC (10.232 C since Stage 3 Spin-up) • Rotor B: 8.740DegC (9.773 C since Stage 3 Spin-up) • ADE: 21.897DegC (22.612 C since Stage 3 Spin-up) • ADA STATOR: 9.712DegC (10.804 C since Stage 3 Spin-up) All values are within nominal tolerances. Consistently lowest averages since 2009.
