Jun 13, 2008 Terra direct broadcast has resumed.
Jun 1, 2008 The direct broadcast transmitter on the Terra spacecraft has been turned off while the Flight Operations Team resolves a problem with abnormal transmitter voltages and temperatures. We will continue to process Terra data as it becomes available from the NOAA bent pipe.
Apr 16, 2008 The Terra SFE was reset successfully, and normal DB operations have resumed.
Apr 16, 2008 The TERRA Science Formatting Equipment (SFE) suffered an anomaly today, sometime between 15:00 and 16:00 UTC. The Flight Operations Team is currently evaluating the data.
Apr 14, 2008 Our loaner receiver is installed, but is only receiving Aqua data reliably at present. Terra data are being ingested from other US DB sites in the interim. We are working with SeaSpace to come up with a fix.
Apr 07, 2008 A loaner receiver from SeaSpace Corp. should be installed this morning. If all goes well, we should be back in action later today.
Apr 04, 2008 Our X-band receiver is down at the moment. We expect to have a backup receiver installed on Monday. Until then, we will ingest data from GSFC and OSU to retain our product generation capability. Product latency will be slightly increased as a result.
Dec 13, 2007 The Terra Science Formatting Equipment (SFE) experienced another anomaly this morning at 347/13:11:17 UT. The Flight Operations Team (FOT) is presently investigating the anomaly. The spacecraft and instruments are safe. There is no science data recording or Direct Broadcast at this time. We will keep you posted.
Dec 13, 2007 The Terra operations team executed recovery procedures to return the Terra Science Formatting Equipment (SFE) to nominal operation during a TDRSS contact starting at 20:22 UTC today. The SFE began operating normally at 20:30 UTC. Direct broadcast and science data recording are back to normal.
