notes from mission control

parachute deploys at mach 2.0

inflate parachute 2 seconds earlier

turn to entry attitude maneuver- point heat shield forward

8/110ths of a degree pointing error (can have up to 10 degrees for safe entry)

reduced to .37 degrees pointing degrees.

vent freon coolant prior to entry. causes spacecraft to wobble. craft fires small control thrusters to prevent wobbling

HRS signature indicates hrs has turned off not vented

jetison of the cruise stage or cruise stage seperation

hematite

lander battery current zero: unexpected (due to telemetry drop out) batter current is now as expected

1.8 degrees pointing error

calibration tones indicating status of spacecraft

pressure 3 psi indicating that freon has vented correctly

peanuts eaten for good luck

.79 degrees pointing error

cruise stage has been jetisoned properly

seperation springs 45 centimeters a second

non flash memory mode

master sequence first since anomoly

moving toward guarded condition

batteries are fully charged. thermal looks good (a little cold but just because of early shut down)

flash hardware is in fact ok. file management module in the software is not robust enough for the operations they were engaged in when the problem occurred

error on motor control board (another hypothesis.

solar event wednesday

flash energy sensitive to high energy protons and neutrons

on the way to normal recovery
