Miscellaneous:
=============

     Kyle Martin of Lockheed-Denver sent the following status report (slightly
edited) late yesterday:

  This week is our last week of operations for MGS.  Our last DSN coverage
  is scheduled for this Sunday.  We have switched our commanding strategy
  for our last 4 uplink opportunities.  Instead of sending the SCP resets,
  we are sending commands to swap TWTAs.  These are commands we have sent
  before, but not with the long sweeps we are now using.  The SCP resets
  were sent over 200 times since 12/18/06.  If the spacecraft powered up
  and was in SMode, there is a case where the TWTA may be dead, yet the
  software thinks it is still okay.  Yes, this is a real long shot - but
  the only thing left we could think of.  So, the TWTA swap commands will
  be the last thing radiated to the spacecraft.

  The Plans and Status meetings will continue for the next several weeks on
  Mondays and Thursdays at 09:15 MST.  We will use the meetings to provide
  updates on any reviews and closeout activities.

  MRO continues to look for MGS with its Star Tracker.  The background
  sequence that went active on Wednesday (1/24) contains commands to
  "look" for MGS every 40 hours with the Star Tracker.  This will continue
  through 2/2/07.

  We continue to prepare packages for the upcoming reviews.  Thanks go to a
  lot of folks who have supported the anomaly recovery efforts.  None of us
  wants to give up, yet it appears the time has come.


Engineering Data
================

     We were unable to obtain spacecraft engineering data for 2007/024
(2007-01-24) due to the ongoing spacecraft emergency.


Open Loop Data
==============

  Data Collection
  ---------------

     No data collected.


Closed Loop Data
================

  Data Collection
  ---------------

     We have obtained the following files from OSCARX:

  Anomalies
  ---------

     There have been no confirmed detections of the MGS signal since 2006/307
and no likely detections since 2006/310; so the "data" in the TNF listed
above should be considered suspect.
