MAG TEAM REVIEW:

This MGS MAG/ER status report covers the period: 
5-11 October 2003 (DOY's 278-284)

MAG/ER instrument temperatures, currents, and voltages are within nominal ranges.

A gif plot of the instrument parameters for the week is located at:
http://mgs-mager.gsfc.nasa.gov/status/sr03278-284.html

Previous status reports for the magnetometer and electron
reflectometer instruments can be selected for viewing at:
http://mgs-mager.gsfc.nasa.gov/status/index.html

The plotted quantities are:
MCP_V-->micro-channel plate voltage
A_MA--->controller current

A_TEMP--->controller temperature
ER_TEMP-->ER temperature
IB_TEMP-->inboard temperature
OB_TEMP-->outboard temperature

There were no instrument commands radiated this period and no major data gaps.

A star processing error on DOY 280 caused the spacecraft to "go nadir" from
the usual relay-16 mode. The spacecraft team later sent MGS back to relay-16.
The time spent at nadir attitude is the cause of the inboard and
outboard increases in temperature during DOYs 280-281.
