9. IOCP KP-0 / 09 December 2009 HB-9 SODAP Week 1Week 2Week 3 SODAP comprises the X-band RF Link Tests : - Week 1 : Tests with SMOS XBAS Station in ESAC - Week-2 : Tests with SVALBARD Stations ( SG-3 ; SG-6, SG-22 ). During SODAP, MIRAS PLM is ON, since 17 / 18 November. Weeks 1 and 2 of SODAP are in parallel with PROTEUS Platform Commissioning activities : 3 types of External Calibration Manoeuvres ( ECM’s ) were tested and validated in Week-2 ( 30-Nov / 04-December ). 0

10. IOCP KP-0 / 09 December 2009 HB-10 PLM Observations – 1 PLM Observation Reports raised during LEOP and SODAP, Registered and processed in ARTS Data Base by PLM Ops Team : 1Mass Memory Redundant ( MMR ) : CLOSED before and during Launch  Specific TC sent to OPEN it, before PLM Partial Switch- ON, in line with PLM Procedures initial conditions. 2Nominal Heaters Lines ( ASHL-N ) of Arm C-2 not activated during LEOP, as expected : Instead, Redundant Heaters Lines of Arm C-2 were activated, No evidence of any failure. Explained by small differences between Nominal and Redundant Thermostats set-points, and thermal gradients between Thermistors and Thermostats N / R. To Be Monitored Carefully by OPS Team, during next activation.
