Hello,

The fifth and final RS ORT (DSS 45) went perfectly.  We are currently
doing a retransmission of the few missing records.  This ORT simulated
four complete orbits.

Once again, we used the scripting capability of remote operations.  We
set up all of the occultations at one time, and just watched the scripts
execute.  The scripts will be ftp'd to my directory on mgrs.  (The
format will be the same as last time.  I didn't have a chance to talk to
Jennifer about changing the time format as Joe Twicken requested.)

We are still working on the ftp problem which is preventing us from using
Radio-Science-generated predicts.  We did generate predicts for the ORT,
and we will compare our predicts with the DSN predicts.  This is the
final capability necessary for mapping operations.

The SOE for this test is c1003.00.soe.

Thanks to everyone who made all of the RS ORTs run smoothly.

-Trish

Hello,

Last night (I guess that it was this morning, actually) after the ORT was
completed, the transmitter at DSS 45 had problems.  The station ended up
going one-way for the remainder of the pass, so I took the opportunity
to collect more USO data.  TLM and ranging are both on.  This was DSS 45.

Times:  1997/224-10:55:00 to 1997/224-12:07:09

I left time to retransmit before the end of the track, so there shouldn't
be any missing records.
