The station had no trouble locking up two-way! Yesterday, the LGA did not lock-up during the initial acquisition sweep at the beginning of the DSS 65 track. Usually it does -- as it did today. We can check it in the spacecraft telemetry. Times of interest (all UTC ERT): 177-08:19:53 switch to LGA 177-08:24:50 receivers in lock on LGA signal TWO-way (approximate) 177-08:30:30 ISH - begin slew to NADIR 177-09:02:30 Periapsis 389 177-09:14:32 ISH - begin rollout 177-09:14:52 receiver out of lock before this time 177-09:34:32 ANS 177-09:46:23 switch back to HGA The next gravity pass is Periapsis 392 (approximately 178-19:57 UTC ERT). -Trish
