This is just a brief summary of the INMS activity on DOY 004.
We will submit a more detailed report later.
- Despite some early problems with our SOPC, we received a very reliable data push, with no dropped packets and a data lag on the order of seconds. INMS powered on, loaded flight software, and performed an MRO of RAM space. The activities took approximately 30 minutes to execute out of the background sequence. After differencing the data dumped from the spacecraft with the predicted dump file, we found no differences. All instrument temperatures and currents were nominal.
- INMS is ready to begin the main portion of their instrument checkout on DOY 005. After coordinating with MIMI and CAPS, it appears that we will be able to begin our real-time commanding at approximately 06:40 UTC on DOY 005. Nominally we plan to send five real-time commands between that time and the time that the INMS baseline test begins execution from the background sequence (16:15 UTC).
