Hello,

MGS Occultation #4 went well.  The signal disappeared behind the surface
a few seconds later than predicted but well within our record time.
Once again, the signal was strong, and no spurs were apparent in the SSI
display.

Record Time:  027-07:44:00 to 027-08:00:00
1-way Period: 027-07:44:38 to 027-07:59:46
Expected Surface Begin:  027-07:57:46
Expected Atmosphere Begin:  027-07:54:39

This occultation occurred over DSS 45.  The DSP was set to the standard
configuration.  Two attenuator changes were entered within a minute of
the beginning of the one-way signal.

DSN predicts were used, but the RS-generated predicts are ready to go for
tomorrow's pass over DSS 43.

SOE:  p107a.02.soe
OPTG: optg_i_980125_OD106_116_V1
SPK:  spk_i_980125_OD106_116_V1

Operations are going smoothly.  The ACE gave a very good pre-pass
briefing to the station.
