Topic: S-NPP Spacecraft Control Computer (SCC) Clock Slope Update: GPS Drift

Date/Time Issued: July 24, 2014 1640 UTC

Product(s) or Data Impacted: All S-NPP data

Date/Time of Initial Impact: July 23, 2014 1844 UTC

Date/Time of Expected End: July 23, 2014 2351 UTC

Length of Outage: 05:07

Details/Specifics of Change: An update to the SCC Clock slope was performed on July 23, 2014 at 18:44 UTC at Svalbard Contact 14179. This updated slope is calculated on the ground and sent to the spacecraft with an updated basetime and slope via an uploaded SCC Table 2.

During the 14179 contact, this updated Table 2 was uploaded and appeared to perform nominally. No alarms were observed. Upon a subsequent pass, it was observed that the SCC Clock was demonstrating a +13 ms drift relative to the GPS time, which is greater than nominal operational range; a drift of 0 is the targeted value.

At 23:51 UTC Svalbard Contact 14182 the SCC Clock was corrected to eliminate the drift between the GPS Clock and the SCC Clock via an updated basetime.

The affected time where there existed a 13 ms drift between the SCC Clock and GPS clock was thus 18:44 UTC to 23:51 UTC. No further actions are required and satellite is in a nominal configuration.
