Expected=74097 km Actual perigee=330.23km; Expected perigee=327km Expected FINAL perigee after IPS5= 10,260km if IPS5 occurs at MET 13d17h41m, couple of days later than scheduled. 8:18MET SRM Burn 1 no downlink to P-3 to confirm burn - blockage by Chandra 8:22 SRM Burn 2 8:32 Acquisition at Diego - all Nominal, both burns -FORMAT 4- ACIS radiators may have caught some (indirect?) sun Cold Radiator at MET 7:44 = -40.0C Cold Radiator at MET 8:32 = -33.0C 8:46 Solar Array Deploy Begun 8:50 Microswitches indicate arrays fully extended 9:11 Confirmation arrays connected to bus: 31.2 V 9:18 IUS Separation Confirmed 9:52 Acquisition at Madrid 10:28 Non-nominal Orbit. Apogee is 72020km. Expected=74097 km Actual perigee=330.23km; Expected=327km Expected final perigee after IPS5= 10,260km if IPS5 occurs at MET 13d17h41m 10:31 Diego commanding problems causing some delays IPS activation will be done (hopefully!) after shift change to B 10:52 ACIS, HRC temperatures nominal 11:07 Handoff to B SOT lead
