The spacecraft is fine. MGS did a pop-up maneuver at A51 (0.1 m/s) after hitting the yellow alarm limit on dynamic pressure (0.33 N/m^2). (last Friday) The AAG reported a significant storm and recommended going up one scale height (7 km). A second maneuver was performed (0.25 m/s) before P52 to accomplish this. A low dynamic pressure (0.06 N/m^2) was seen on P52. Variability has been more than 70% for orbits 47 - 52. The spacecraft has remained at this new altitude for P53 and P54. A decision about P55 is currently being discussed. -Trish
