Kepler Mission Manager Update, Oct. 14, 2009
It has now been five months since Kepler science operations began. The Kepler spacecraft continues in its drift-away, heliocentric orbit, and continues in its science data collecting attitude. The Kepler team is approaching another monthly download of science data. The next scheduled download is planned for Oct. 17-19, 2009. Further analysis had been completed on the Safing events that Kepler experienced on June 15, 2009, and July 2, 2009. The cause has been further isolated to a low voltage power supply, whose upsets cause the central RAD750 processor to reset. The resets were not caused by any problem with the RAD750 processor unit itself. Last week, the team performed two semi-weekly spacecraft contacts. This “engineering” contact utilizes the vehicle’s X-Band transmitter and the omni-directional antennas to give us a relatively low bandwidth connection (typically ranging from 2 to 8 kbps).
