Subsystem History:

Date	Time	Component	Description

08/03/2004	13:42:00		Switch AVHRR channel back to 2A (from 1A) continuing UVtrip recovery

07/28/2004	18:00:00		Turnon AVHRR electronics and enable its data channels. Status upgraded to Green.

07/25/2004	23:19:00		Battery undervoltage safestate tripped causing power load shed that included AVHRR power off. Declared yellow in status until recovery complete.

12/01/1992			AVHRR video data in HRPT is missing pixel (count) values for certain bit counts that affects all five spectral channels. Affects all AVHRR/2 series.

10/20/1991		SCAN MOTOR	AVHRR sees temporary periods of high sync jitter and motor current changes due to possible bearing problems. Disabled TCE to increase lubricant.
