Uzzo: Lead Scientist ---------- R. Wu: Commander M. Uzzo: Planner Command file: 09.02.18.13:01:38.cmd.log Activity: --------- 1) Recover UVCS from Modified Hard Safe Configuration Sequence: Manual SCI_SPEC: UVCS is recovered from Hard Safe Configuration into a Soft Safe configuration in order to allow UVCS temperatures to return to nominal. Detector High Voltage remains ramped down and turned off instrument is rolled to nominal East (35156 Engineering Units). The Mirror stays at 1.5 Solar Radii with 1.5 mm overocculting. UVCS Aperture Door is opened at this time, Internal Mirror / Occulter Heater set to 0% duty cycle (255). OVI Detecor Timing and Charge Thresholds set. FOT told to continue to use UVCS ESR Limit Set. FOT component of UVCS recovery, including enabling of the ESR Warning at 20:35 UT and Experiment Offpoint Flags (at, 20:39 UT, and the TSU Substitution Heater (Circuit #84) OFF completed at approximately 20:43 UT UVCS NRT portion of recovery begins at approximately 20:44 UT Note: Recovery times (below) are approximate.

Detector High Voltage remains ramped down and turned off. Instrument is rolled to the nominal East (35156 Engineering Units), and Mirror / Occulter is set at 1.5 Solar Radii with 1.5 mm overocculting. UVCS Aperture Door is open. Internal Mirror / Occulter Heater set to 0% duty cycle. FOT told to continue to use UVCS ESR Limit Table. Expected Limit Violation sheets submitted to FOT via SOC for any expected limit violations during this time. New Business: DAWN spacecraft emergency has caused the loss of DSS-24 pass for 19 February, resulting in a 20 hour, 25 minute gap in contact with SOHO. Decision is made to re-safe UVCS on DSS-54 pass, 19 February.
