Today was EOP 1, which is planned to continue directly into IOP 4 tomorrow, leaving me without support from the ISS crew. Fortunately all ISFS systems are functioning reasonably well and today was a light day. Some ongoing issues are summarized below.

  • S5: CSAT ldiag remains at 1 since we raised the tower. I will look for another spare in the Pod tomorrow, as I suspect we need to swap the sonic to fix this issue. I may visit the site tomorrow to visually inspect things.
  • S11: No Vbatt.
  • S16: Bad CO2.
  • S18: According to Nagios the raw_data has not been rsync’d in >7 hrs. It also seems like the usb disk is not being found on the DSM - confirmed by nothing returned by lsu command. It seems like another visit to s18 is in order to reboot the DSM.

  1. I rebooted s18 remotely so the usb disk is back, and the rsync should catch up soon.  Apparently it can still happen that the USB card disconnects then immediately reconnects.  Everything comes back, except the usb disk comes back as the next device, /dev/sdb instead of /dev/sda, so the mount attempts by NIDAS fail.  The easiest fix is to reboot it, and usually it's ok to reboot it remotely.  Sorry, I should have noticed this problem and rebooted it sooner.

    Thanks Gary. Does this mean we will have no data during that time? For some reason I thought I couldn't reboot remotely, so was going to wait until the morning.

  3. It means we will only have whatever data made it over the network to EOL during that time.  From a rudimentary check, it looks like the network data stream is fairly complete:

    These samples will not be available in the netcdf until the network data files are merged with the usb data files.

  4. Another data issue I've noticed is the TP01.s9.  It acts like it is exposed to the air, and has been reporting odd values since it was installed.  I'm sorry I didn't catch this earlier!
