Subject: Freja operations 28-31 March 1994

Dear Colleagues,

Here is the Freja operations plan for the last days of March 1994.
This is also the last plan from F1 for now. F2 is next...

*****************************************************************************
* MIR has announced a firing of the gun on orbit 7128, 1994-03-29 15:50:10  *
* UT. This pass has not been planned as operational by FOC. If possible, we *
* would like data to be taken also during this pass. Could Stig-Ove please  *
* confirm whether this is possible. Thanx!                                  *
*****************************************************************************

This plan includes:

1) Data taking orbits. Based on the actual plan from FOC.
2) High TM-rate. 6 passes/day, no changes.
3) Burst. 2 passes/day, rotating F1, F2, F4, as usual. We continue
   using the "gradual" force trig, decreasing the trig level
   successively, starting at LOS-20min and ending at LOS-8min. 
   We still do this only when F1 is used as trigger, and we reduce
   our trigger threshold in 5 steps from 0.3 Volts to 0 Volts. 
   The operations of the F2 and F4 burst orbits are unchanged.
   Thus, the burst should be done in the following way:
     PASS AOS+5min:  Enable burst 
     ESS LOS-Xmin:   Force trig. X is given below for each burst orbit.
                     X should always be 20min for the F1 burst orbits.
     ESS LOS-8min:   Dump burst data.
4) Special/standard orbits. F4 decides, no change.
5) Survey mode. 2 surveys/day.
        Survey type:   Abbrev:   Duration:
         Medium         SM        10 minutes
         Coarse         SC        Full orbit
6) Syowa. One pass/day except for weekends, no change.
7) Cancellation order. No change:
                      1) First ESS pass in a passage group 
                      2) Last PASS pass in a passage group
                      3) Second last PASS pass in a passage group
                      4) Second survey of the day
