Report for Period 02 December to 08 December 2007The activities during this week cover routine operations
Published: 11 December 2007
Report for Period 25 November to 01 December 2007 Routine mission operations were carried out during the reporting period.

Report for Period 11 November to 17 November 2007The activities during this week cover routine operations in Quadrature. These operations are severely constrained due to the special thermal restrictions that apply during Quadrature phase. VIRTIS operations were resumed in this period.

An anomaly in the solar array drive circuitry, already known on Mars Express, was detected on Venus Express for the first time on 23 August 2007. Within 24 hours the error happened twice. This resulted in a three day stop of all science operations. It was decided to implement the Mars Express patch to solve the problem. Following the trigger of...

Report for Period 14 October to 20 October 2007The Main activity during this week has been the entrance in Quadrature on the 19 October 2007. The procedure was fully automated as part of the routine plan following the experience of the previous quadrature. The fake ephemeris was again applied in GSP before the AOS inCebreros.

Published: 4 September 2007
Report for Period 19 August to 25 August 2007Routine observations took place during this reporting period, occurring as planned except forVIRTIS operations. Three occurrences of a solar array pointing anomaly were seen over DOY235/236, the last two leading to one of the SA motors being declared failed.

Report for Period 12 August to 18 August 2007Routine observations took place during this reporting period, occurring as planned except for VIRTIS operations. The VIRTIS movie had to be stopped due to an unexplained anomaly of the H-cooling motor current the triggered an OOL. The M unit is not affected by the anomaly as is expected to resume...
