Opal Update -- March 08, 2000 PM
-
Opal is currently in nominal operations mode. All systems
are functional and performing as expected. Greg and I are
working to archive data downloaded as well as analysis the
system.
-
No further passes have been done at the dish. Actually, the
drive motor for the dish has failed and they are in the process
of repairing it. If possible, we'd like to get in and work
STENSAT but don't know for sure.
-
The SSDL ground is performing marginally. Greg and I have been
operating it remotely via the internet. That's been quite nice.
-
We're exploring additional experiments for the Opal system.
We plan on uploading code to monitor bit flips in main memory.
We also want to try attitude adjustment using Opal's solenoid
(as suggested by Freddy). If anyone else has some interesting
ideas, let us know.
