Spacecraft Operations Summary First routine Out-of-plane manoeuvre for inclination
correction performed in Sep-02 – combined with first attempt for activation of the P/L Module Computer software V38p1
Leonid meteor storm protection operations carried out on 18 & 19-Nov – satellite & instrument brought to lower mode of operations as a precaution for the meteor storm
Successful uplink of the PMC Flight Software version 38 p1 (including a new list of patches) as part of Leonid ops. V38p1 includes a proper memory scrubbing function and fixes
to all major problems encountered since launch (PLSOL problems, etc).

Instrument Operations Summary
The instrument operations since the calibration review went well overall
Several corrective patches have been applied successfully to ASAR (e.g. TR parity switch-downs in Wave mode, product
annotation error in Alternating Polarisation mode, …) DORIS/MWR (ICU counter overflow) SCIAMACHY (MCMD reception error, PMTC sign error)
The MIPAS sterling cooler vibration cancellation system has been disabled (without any significant performance degradation) to prevent unnecessary transitions to Refuse mode
Page 6ENVISAT Validation Workshop - ESRIN – 9-13-Dec-2002
Instrument Operations Summary - contd
For ASAR the activation of the last background mode, Global Monitoring, in Nov-2002 is causing occasional Refuse mode entries (spurious TR parity error detection) – a corrective patch for this problem is under development
For MERIS a few of the recent radiometric calibrations of Diffuser 1 have been lost due to a known ICU timing problem – a workaround / corrective patch is under discussion
The instruments have provided a high operational availability since the cal review

Satellite Operations Outlook
On 17-Dec-2002 the next Out-Of-Plane manoeuvre is required for inclination control – this will lead to a short unavailability of the payload for nominal operations
Commissioning of the Artemis Ka-band link is planned for Mar-2003 following injection of Artemis to the Geo-stationary orbit. The planning and testing of this last satellite commissioning activity is in progress.
Page 10ENVISAT Validation Workshop - ESRIN – 9-13-Dec-2002
Platform Status and Performance
The performance of the Service Module has been excellent with 100% availability
All units are configured to the A-chain and perform nominally
The cat bed heaters are kept on permanently (without any degradation observed) to keep Hydrazine temperatures above 2 deg C – see FCV heater mat failure reported during the cal review

Satellite Orbit Control Manoeuvres
Orbit control manoeuvres for +/- 1 km ground track control will be required throughout the mission: Out-Of-Plane Manoeuvres (OCMs) for inclination control:
approx. 3-4 / year - approx. 5 m/sec of V = approx. 23 kg Hydrazine
Fine Control Manoeuvres (SFCMs) for altitude control: one every 3 weeks - approx. 4 cm/sec of V per SFCM = approx. 3.6 kg / year
Number of SFCM’s will decrease until 2005/2006 and then rise again (solar cycle)
Hydrazine consumption: 37.2 out of 314 kg have been used to date No thruster controlled attitude acquisition modes or safe
mode entered since end of LEOP

Flight Operations Segment Performance
The FOS components continue to provide very high availability: Systems critical for satellite control (Flight Control System,
OBSM, I/F to ground stations) have shown a quasi-100% availability
Mission Planning System and its interfaces to PDS, ESTEC and AO Providers work satisfactorily
Ground station performance (FOS part) for third quarter: ESA’s Kiruna station provided 99.9% availability Svalbard (S-band) service provided 97.2% availability
Flight Control Procedures work ok – new procedures added when required in response to anomaly investigations and resolution
Page 18ENVISAT Validation Workshop - ESRIN – 9-13-Dec-2002

Conclusions
The satellite and its instruments are performing well operationally and are ready for the routine phase
Commissioning of the Artemis/Envisat Ka-band interface in-orbit is planned to be performed in Mar-2003
The Flight Operations Segment and the Flight Operations and Support Teams in Industry, ESTEC and ESOC are set-up for the routine phase – ready to continue!
