MAG TEAM REVIEW:

This MGS MAG/ER status report covers the period: 
6-12 February 2005 (DOYs 037-043)

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/sr05037-043.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.

The slight temperature variations in IB_TEMP and OB_TEMP on DOY 039
were due to a MOC CPROTO event.

According to DSN status reports, the large (~6.5 hr) gaps on DOY 37 are due to
DSN problems.

The large (~1.5 hr) gap on DOY 39 is unexplained.

The temperature drops in IB_TEMP and OB_TEMP starting at the end of DOY 040
are due to the transition from a 10 degree solar array offset angle to
35 degrees. However, the new configuration caused multiple, unexpected,
angular momentum desaturation maneuvers, and the offset angle was
subsequently returned to a 10 degree offset on DOY 043.
