>Hello All,
>
>ACE had another good week.
>
>The first Station keeping maneuver was completed successfully. It lasted
>129 seconds and did not require instrument high voltages to be reduced or
>turned off. This was followed by the weekly reorientation maneuver. All
>instruments continue to operate as planned. The Flight Ops Team and the
>Flight Dynamics folks are really getting good at this now.
>
>The latest CD ROM, containing ACE Level 1 data, has been shipped from the
>ACE Science Center to the investigators. Many more are expected in the next
>month. Andy Davis notes that ACE Level 1 data currently consists of more
>than four gigabytes - compressed.
>
>On January 21, NOAA/SEC cuts the ribbon on the new ACE RTSW facility, and
>goes on line. NOAA has a half day event scheduled to celebrate this
>milestone. VIPs from NOAA, the Air Force, CIT and NASA (Dick Mewaldt, CIT,
>and Henry Britten, NASA) will attend. Dr. Britten will make some remarks on
>behalf of NASA.
>
>Plans are still going well for a smooth transition to the Orbiting
>Satellites Project, on February 1.
