Date Time Component Description
08/06/200718:49:00 HIRS Cooler Heater Turn On
08/06/200718:49:00 HIRS Filter Wheel Housing Heater Turn On
05/01/200612:40:00ELECTRONICSTurnoff HIRS Filter Wheel because of observed high temperatures. All other HIRS components remain on.
04/30/200622:45:00 Turnon all HIRS components to serve as resistor and reduce shunt stress.
06/23/200510:46:00ELECTRONICSPower off HIRS to reduce battery voltage drawdown during dark portion of the orbit.
08/30/200411:05:00 Turn on HIRS and MSU to add power load on spacecraft bus and reduce shunt stress.
07/25/200423:18:00 HIRS electronics autonomously powered off by battery undervoltage trip.
09/23/2002FILTER WHEELHIRS Filter wheel ceased
08/21/1997  HIRS no longer being used
05/30/1997FILTER WHEELFilter wheel motor current jumped and wheel out of sync due to lubrication starvation.
01/07/1992 HIRS science data unusable for producing sounding products due to possible couple with AVHRR motor jitter.
