SUMMARY REPORT


Sequence 52510: Sequence 52520:

RETRANSMIT REQUESTS

NO RETRANSMITS WERE PERFORMED ON SOL 25.




SEQUENCE PLANNING RECOMMENDATIONS
Modify 52510 sequence to account for change in vehicle orientation and to update wait times and resend. Operational Constraints (Sol 26 Sequence):
  1. Leave X accelerometer ENABLED
  2. Leave the Z accel DISABLED
  3. DISABLE the Y accelerometer during waypoints and moves at risk level 1, or enable Y accel at risk level 2
  4. Recommend Risk Level 1, Laser drop out 3.
  5. Enable hazard avoidance using sensors, contacts, and laser proximity, and perform each waypoint command only once
  6. Increase waypoint timeouts
  7. If possible, health checks should not be skipped as a result of traversable hazards
  8. Before beginning traverses, should back up a little (~ 10 cm) to enable lasers to detect hazards which may be very close to the front of the rover. UNMASK contact sensors for this move. May want to then move forward ~ 1 cm, with contact sensors MASKED to remove any contact that may have been made during the previous backward move. Then UNMASK all contact sensors and plan subsequent waypoints.
Engineering Requests:
  1. Retake image of lander on morning of Sol 26 before moving.
  2. Waypoint Navigation:
    • Continue to perform waypoint commands.
    • Take seperate S0055 images after each individual waypoint command.
    • Take S0050 (Rover Movie) of each individual waypoint command.
  3. Take pre and post S0050 images at Low-Compression (3:1).
  4. (DESIRE) Take rover images as early in the morning as possible to reduce dark noise current.
  5. (DESIRE) Leave rover on until 15:45 LST to collect late afternoon thermal data, perform health check just before shutdown.
Operational Constraints (General):
  1. Mask all errors (except INVALID CMD) immediately prior to "Read Mem" of persistent state table. Unmask accordingly immediately afterwards.
  2. Set Modem Reheat to 5 minutes to 30 deg (upon failed communication)
  3. If need to perform Level 3 health checks between Sol n, 20:00 LST and Sol n+1,8:00 LST, disable lasers (i.e., never power) to prevent them from being turned on. Re-enable afterwards.
  4. Heat modem for 5 minutes prior to morning transfer of images.
  5. Terminate heating at 15:00
  6. Disable auto shutdown
  7. Set Modem Heat to 15 minutes; 10 minutes if following a night-time APXS)
  8. Set alarm based wakeup to 08:00 LST
  9. Perform Read Memory just before last downlink session
  10. DISABLE RF Wheel Temperature Sensor
  11. DISABLE Z accelerometer.
  12. Perform Time Sync just prior to EOD shudown.
  13. Always command a Level 2 Health Check before shutdown.
  14. Perform level 2 health check at the end of every traverse command
  15. Limit image transfer after 1:00 LST (to prevent overheating)
  16. Limit each "Move Command" distance to 1 meter or less to enable gyro to be recalibrated and thereby reduce the amount of drift.
  17. Insert longer wait (10 seconds) between APXS cycle start command and APXS turn-off command (turn off devices)
  18. Perform WEB heating on days of low activity (i.e. no traverses) with no night-time APXS operations, and Runouts from 13:00 (noon) to 15:00 MLST.
  19. Use Web_Heat_B parameter with Max temp of 30C.
  20. Future soil mechanics experiments in suspected hard material should have 6 spins of 500 counts rather than 4.
