The lists of data outages on this page apply to the AIRS suite of instruments and their data products. The instruments are the Atmospheric InfraRed Sounder (AIRS), the Advanced Microwave Sounding Unit (AMSU), and the Humidity Sounder for Brazil (HSB). Lists of time periods where data were unavailable are provided, along with short descriptions of the causes, when they are known. Events occurring from the beginning of the mission in 2002 until the present are covered.

The lists are sorted into four tables according to types of events. The AIRS/AMSU/HSB instrument suite has been shut down periodically for MODIS lunar calibration maneuvers. Times of data outages due to these maneuvers are listed in a separate table. Another separate table includes data outages due to AQUA thruster burns, including inclination adjust and orbital correction maneuvers (drag makeup burns) and thruster tests. A table for special calibration tests and other causes is also included. The abbreviation SEU, used in some of the descriptions, stands for Single Event Upsets.

Anomalies

Start Time (UTC) End Time (UTC) Description
27 June 2002-15:40:30 28 June 2002- 20:36 Safing event. The AIRS/AMSU/HSB instrument suite did not collect data (all times are approximate to several minutes)
29 July 2002-14:14:13 30 August 2002-09:25:10 AIRS data are unavailable because of instrument defrost activities and unexpected cooler shutdowns. (The shutdowns were apparently caused by ionizing radiation affecting the cooler electronics in the South Atlantic Anomaly.)
12 September 2002-13:15:00 12 September 2002-23:24 Safing event. The AIRS/AMSU/HSB instrument suite did not collect data (all times are approximate to several minutes)
19 October 2002-17:03:5 22 October 2002-01:37:25 AIRS data are unavailable due to a false overstroke trip by the AIRS cooler (likely caused by a radiation ‘hit’).
5 February 2003-21:50 N/A HSB has not been operational since 5 February 2003 due to a failure in the scan motor electronics.
29 October 2003-02:00:00 14 November 2003-21:01:00 AIRS data are unavailable due to the instrument being placed in safe mode following a very large solar flare and associated coronal mass ejection. The purpose was to guard against possible permanent damage caused by the expected large flux of high energy particles (including protons). The instrument was completely off except for its survival heaters. Consequently, the AIRS instrument warmed. Upon restoration of power the instrument required prolonged cool-down and subsequent full recalibration of the spectral parameters.
29 October 2003-02:00:00 6 November 2003-06:00:00 AMSU data are unavailable due to the instrument being placed in safe mode following a very large solar flare and associated coronal mass ejection. The purpose was to guard against possible permanent damage caused by the expected large flux of high energy particles (including protons). The instrument was completely off except for its survival heaters.
7 November 2004-05:08:35 8 November 2004-00:14:08 AIRS data are unavailable due to the scanner unexpectedly going into “Idle” mode and parking. It was determined that there had been a single event upset (SEU), believed to be due to a radiation hit, in the scanner control register. The scanner was re-started and AIRS resumed operations.
9 January 2010-09:45:40 26 January 2010-19:38:00 At 09:45:40 UT on January 9, 2010 the AIRS 28-volt power supply for the Actuator Drive Module (ADM) dropped instantaneously to 0.8 volt. The ADM provides power and control for a number of AIRS components, including the calibration blackbody and the heater on the second stage radiator. Analysis of telemetry showed no evidence of failure of any components. After determining that the cause was an SEU caused by an energetic particle strike while over the South Atlantic Anomaly, procedures were developed and vetted to carefully bring AIRS back into operation. The turn-on sequence involved checking all major subsystems involved with the 28V power supply and evaluating science data prior to the release of the operational data stream, a time-consuming process. AIRS was brought back into operation on January 26, 2010.
8 February 2013-21:17:31 10 February 2013-01:16:33 On February 8, 2013 the AIRS scanner suddenly went into “ShutDown” mode. Examination of telemetry indicated that the transition to “ShutDown” was not preceded by any changes in temperature, current or voltage. Thus, it appears an SEU (in the scanner electronics) caused by an energetic particle occurred. The scanner was restarted successfully and the AIRS instrument achieved normal operations at 20:49:19 UT on February 9. Normal data flow was initiated and the transition to “OPERATE” mode took place at 01:16:33 UT on February 10.
5 April 2013-19:09:29 6 April 2013-21:16:06 AIRS data are unavailable due to an interruption to the flow of high-rate AIRS data through the Aqua spacecraft. The data flow resumed when the Aqua flight team disabled and enabled the TAXI port on Aqua.
22 March 2014-05:42:00 29 March 2014-00:03:00 On 22 March 2014, Cooler A unexpectedly shut down. It is believed that the shutdown was caused by an SEU, probably somewhere in the power supply amplifiers or caging circuitry. During the recovery process both coolers and the focal plane were powered off, and the focal plane warmed. The temperature cycling led to changes in detector noise properties. Both coolers and the focal plane were powered back on, and the instrument was commanded to OPERATE mode on March 29, 2014.
24-Sep-16 On September 24, 2016 power to the AMSU-A2 instrument on Aqua was lost, and a series of attempts to restore it to normal operation were unsuccessful.
25 September 2016-03:25:00 27 September 2016-21:02:34 On 25 September 2016, Cooler A unexpectedly shut down. The event was a repeat of the 22 March 2014 anomaly, and a similar cause (SEU) is suspected. During the recovery process Cooler B remained on, and the focal plane temperature rose to 70 K. Cooler A was successfully powered back on, and the instrument was commanded to OPERATE mode on 27 September, 2016.
21 June 2018 - 15:50 19 June 2019 AMSU-A1 Channel 14 response dropped suddenly by ~4K. Scene counts and calibrated Tb dropped. Space counts and warm counts did not change, suggesting that there was a change in the spectrometer but not in the radiometer. Analysis focused on the Channel 14 SAW filters, particularly the lower-frequency (316.2 - 319.2 MHz) filter, as a source of the anomaly. However, a definitive cause was not determined. Channel 14 recovered spontaneously (reported temperatures jumped back up by ~4K to nominal values) on June 19, 2019.
16 August 2020-09:26:49 2 September 2020-20:00 (approx.) On 16 August 2020, data played back from the Aqua Solid State Recorder (SSR) became corrupted. Science from all Aqua instruments was affected. Instrument health and S-band engineering telemetry was not affected. The cause appears to have been a single event upset (SEU). The anomaly was corrected by performing a “soft reset” (i.e., power remained on and firmware was reloaded) of the Formatter / Multiplexer Unit (FMU) on 2 September 2020.
22 Feb 2022 - 07:43:01 23 Mar 2022 - 20:00:00 (approx.) A segment of Aqua FMU/SSR memory was damaged, resulting in a small amount of AIRS high-rate data to be lost: about 19 seconds every two orbits, amounting to about 3 minutes of data loss per day. On March 23, Aqua performed a soft FMU reset and marked the affected memory as bad. On March 23 between about 16:12 and 20:00, AIRS high-rate data was shut off while the anomaly resolution was taking place.
31 March 2022 - 17:59:08 13 April 2022 Aqua safing event. Power controller swapped to the redundant B side. AIRS was commanded to Standby mode although hardware state remained unchanged. AMSU-A1 scanners were powered off. AIRS returned to Operate mode April 7 at approximately 2022/097-17:25.

AIRS Data Outages due to special calibration tests & other causes

A description of the special calibration tests may be found on the Instrument Operations page.

Prior to July 18, 2002, all tests were executed during the initial orbital checkout phase of operations. AIRS was not placed in Operate mode until July 17, 2002. Tests run during initial checkout did not cause outages, but they are included here as a record of the calibration performed at that time. For these early tests, the column headings "Start of outage" and "Return to Operate" mean "Start of Test" and "End of Test".
