3 Channel Bridge Balance Memory Patch

Load for FM-4

To reduce the effect of electronic crosstalk signals in Window channel measurements
induced by high Shortwave (bright) scenes, a bridge balance memory patch was developed.
This patch was intended to modify the Window bridge balance set point to midrange (2048).
The first test of this patch was performed on-orbit during the period shown below.

The memory patch that was uploaded inadvertently set the bridge balance set points to midrange (2048) for all 3 channels.
This reduced the dynamic range for the Total and Shortwave channels leading to saturated radiometric measurements.
Saturations typically occurred for the brightest earth-viewing scenes, resulting in data dropout at high radiance values.
See the data quality summaries pertaining to the science data during this period.

Summary of FM-3 and FM-4 Operations:

Regular Internal calibrations of both instruments were performed on September 7, 14, 21, and 28.
Blackbody only Internal calibrations were performed on September 2, 5, 9, 12, 16, 19, 23, 26, and 30.
Solar calibrations were performed on September 21.

FM-3:   The instrument operated in the cross-track scan mode.

For the FM-4 solar calibration on September 21, the elevation gimbal was parked at the solar calibration position (236 degrees).
This is the same position being used for the MAM Characterization tests.
This parked position is temporarily overriding the default MAM scan profile.

Sunset Solar calibrations (MAM Raster scan) were performed June 17 on both instruments.

Beginning on June 8, the FM-3 instrument along with the FM-1 instrument on Terra began the Terra/Aqua Intercalibration campaign.
This campaign completed on June 30.
The intercalibration on FM-3 for June 12 was not performed.

FM-3:   The instrument operated in the cross-track scan mode.

The ODS (One Day Sequence) on June 26 for FM-3 had 2 duplicate commands.
These commands were SP1=202.7 and SP1=180.
The azimuth command to 202.7 degrees was not intended to be included in the ODS.
The azimuth command was executed to 202.7 degrees but within approximately .5 seconds the intended azimuth command of 180 degrees was correctly executed.

These commands were executed during the time that Terra/Aqua Intercalibration was performed:

July 2015

Summary of FM-3 and FM-4 Operations:

Regular Internal calibrations of both instruments were performed on July 1, 8, 15, 22, and 29.

Blackbody only Internal calibrations of both instruments were performed on July 3, 6, 10, 13, 17, 20, 24, 27, and 31.

Sunset Solar calibrations (MAM Raster scan) were performed on July 8 and 22 on both instruments.

FM-3:   The instrument operated in the cross-track scan mode.

FM-4:   The instrument operated in the cross-track scan mode and the SW anomaly spanned the whole month.

Lunar Scans

Lunar scans were performed on the both instruments during the month.

Beginning on June 1, the FM-3 instrument along with the FM-1 instrument on Terra began the Terra/Aqua Intercomparison campaign. The Terra/Aqua intercomparsion was performed on a daily basis for every orbit. The FM-5 instrument was included on select days and orbits.

July 2017

Summary of FM-3 and FM-4 Operations:

Regular Internal calibrations of both instruments were performed on July 5, 12, 19, and 26.

Blackbody only Internal calibrations of both instruments were performed on July 3, 7, 10, 14, 17, 21, 24, 28, and 31.

Sunset Solar calibrations (MAM Raster scan) were performed on July 5 and 19 on both instruments.

FM-3:   The instrument operated in the cross-track scan mode.

FM-4:   The instrument operated in the cross-track scan mode and the SW anomaly spanned the whole month.

Lunar Scans

Lunar scans were performed on the both instruments during the month.

Aqua/NPP Nadir Dwells

The FM-3 instrument along with the FM-5 instrument on NPP performed nadir dwell scans in July.

170730 05:27:08.32 –> FM3/FM5 Nadir Dwell

Terra/Aqua/NPP Intercomparison Campaign

Beginning on June 9, the FM-3 instrument along with the FM-1 instrument on Terra began the Terra/Aqua Intercomparison campaign. The Terra/Aqua intercomparsion was performed on a daily basis for every orbit. The FM-5 instrument was included on select days and orbits. The campaign continued during the month of July.

Blackbody only Internal calibrations of both instruments were performed on March 2, 5, 9, 12, 16, 19, 23, 26 and 30.

Sunset Solar calibrations (MAM Raster scan) were performed on March 14 and 28 on both instruments.

FM-3:   The instrument operated in the cross-track scan mode.

Lunar Scans

Lunar scans were performed on the both instruments during the month.
Due to planning errors, the lunar scans on March 2 and 3 were performed at incorrect lunar phase angles. Angles ranged anywhere from approximately +4 to +23 degrees, depending on the spacecraft. The nominal, worse case range is approximately +/- 12 degrees.

July 2018

Summary of FM-3 and FM-4 Operations:

SWICS only calibrations of both instruments were performed on July 2, 4, 6, 9, 11, 13, 16, 18, 20, 23, 25, 27, and 30.

Sunset Solar calibrations (MAM Raster scan) were performed on July 4 and 18 on both instruments.

A special scan test was performed on the FM-3 instrument over Ashville, NC.

180731 18:38:11.31 –> Special scanning Ashville, NC

A table upload was completed on July 12 for FM3. The commands are for the PROM (Programmable Read Only Memory) Instrument Sequence 13. A RAM memory dump was performed before and after the upload. The Sequence 13 commands and a ROM memory dump were executed on July 24.

FM-3:   The instrument operated in the cross-track scan mode.

FM-4:   The instrument operated in the cross-track scan mode and the SW anomaly spanned the whole month.

Aqua/J01 Nadir Dwells

The FM-3 instrument along with the FM-6 instrument on J01 performed nadir dwell scans in July.

June 2019

Summary of FM-3 and FM-4 Operations:

SWICS only calibrations of both instruments were performed on June 3, 5, 7, 10, 12, 14, 17, 19, 21, 24, 26, and 28.

Sunset Solar calibrations (MAM Raster scan) were performed on June 5 and 19.

FM-3:   The instrument operated in the cross-track scan mode.

FM-4:   The instrument operated in the cross-track scan mode and the SW anomaly spanned the whole month.

Aqua/NPP Nadir Dwells

July 2020

Summary of FM-3 and FM-4 Operations:

SWICS only calibrations of both instruments were performed on July 1, 3, 6, 8, 10, 13, 15, 17, 20, 22, 24, 27, 29, and 31.

Sunset Solar calibrations (MAM Raster scan) were performed on July 1, 15, and 29.

FM-3:   The instrument operated in the cross-track scan mode.

FM-4:   The instrument operated in the cross-track scan mode and the SW anomaly spanned the whole month.

A series of Thruster Fire tests were performed on the instrument on July 1. Four burns occurred between 15:14 UT and 16:41 UT. The purpose is to check out thrusters and the results will be compared with the first Thruster Fire test in 2002.

June 2023

Summary of FM-3 and FM-4 Operations:

SWICS only calibrations of both instruments were performed on June 2, 5, 7, 9, 12, 14, 16, 19, 21, 23, 26, 28, and 30.

Sunset Solar calibrations (MAM Raster scan) were performed on June 14 and 28.

FM-3:   The instrument operated in the unrestricted biaxial mode during the month with the Azimuth Angle A = 90 Degrees and Azimuth Angle B = 270 degrees, except for June 1, 3, 4, 6, 7, 9, 12, 13, 14, 17, 19, 22, 25, 26, 27, and 30. On these days the instrument was commanded to crosstrack mode to perform lunar scans, intercomparisons and GEO-SAT operations.

FM-4:   The instrument operated in the cross-track scan mode.

Summary of FM-3 and FM-4 Operations:

SWICS only calibrations of both instruments were performed on January 1, 3, 5, 8, 10, 12, 15, 17, 19, 22, 24, 26, 29, and 31.

Sunset Solar calibrations (MAM Raster scan) were performed on January 10 and 24.

FM-3:   The instrument operated in the unrestricted biaxial mode during the month with the Azimuth Angle A = 90 Degrees and Azimuth Angle B = 270 degrees, except for January 1, 7, 13, 19, and 25. On these days the instrument was commanded to crosstrack mode to perform lunar scans, intercomparisons and GEO-SAT operations.
