Report for Period 2 June to 30 June 2006The reporting period covers four weeks of passive cruise, in which the spacecraft remained in Near Sun Hibernation Mode (NSHM). The mode performance is being closely monitored on a weekly basis using real-time housekeeping telemetry and radiometric data. The mode performance during the reporting period has...

Mission StatusThe spacecraft continues to be operated in quiet cruise mode with, in general, one tracking pass per week. In March the Payload Passive Checkout was performed successfully and the evaluation of the data by the instrument teams confirms the nominal status of the orbiter instruments and the Lander.

Report for Period 28 April - 12 May 2006The reporting period covers two weeks of cruise, in which all scheduled ground station passes were used to recover telemetry stored during the solar conjunction. The level of activities remains minimal. The spacecraft will remain configured for solar conjunction until 18 May.

Report for Period 7 April - 28 April 2006The reporting period covers three weeks of cruise, in which the spacecraft was going through the first solar conjunction of the mission. The level of activities was kept minimal to cope with the expected significant degradation of the TM/TC links as the Spacecraft-Earth-Sun angle went below 5 degrees and...

Report for Period 6 January - 27 January 2006The reporting period covers three weeks of passive cruise, with monitoring and minor maintenance activities.On the subsystems side, the TC link timeout was returned to its normal value of 9 days on 12 January. The TM mode was temporarily changed to "bi-weekly" between 12 and 19 January, to...

Report for Period 18 November to 9 December 2005The reporting period covers three weeks of passive cruise, with monitoring and minor maintenance activities.On the spacecraft subsystems side, minor maintenance activities were executed, i.e. gyro drift compensation for IMP B, the first periodic dump of avionics standard parameters. Reaction wheel...

Mission Status The highlight of the reporting period was the observation campaign to support the Deep Impact event on 4 July. Four scientific instruments (OSIRIS, MIRO, VIRTIS and Alice) participated in the campaign together with the Navigation Cameras. The campaign started on 28 June and ended 14 July.

Report for Period 29 July to 20 August 2005The reporting period was originally dedicated to spacecraft monitoring in Passive Cruise Mode.However, an unexpected fuel over-consumption of 20 grams and a delta-V of 2.5 mm per second weredetected off-line on data acquired during DOY 216. On DOY 220, a short pass was taken onshort-notice to confirm...
