Miscellaneous
=============

     A query failure caused us to miss ALL spacecraft engineering data for
yesterday (97/329); DSN Monitor data were collected as usual.  Although the
failure occurred immediately after the query was submitted, it was not
noticed until this morning when it was too late to submit again.  There has
not been time to submit an ISA.  These types of failures are infrequent;
the last time we had one of this type ("too many open files"), the ISA
yielded a non-responsive answer.

     Rain leaking into our building overnight shorted a power strip in the
basement, which brought down a couple repeaters and (by this morning) about
half of the workstation connectivity in the building.  Team Leader Tyler
located the smoking power strip, but the effort required about 4 hours.
As a result, we have not carried out the usual transfer of ancillary files
from the CDB.  Those will be captured later.

     The SOPC seems to have lost some connectivity with local workstations
supporting MGS.  Only long address forms (e.g., magellan.stanford.edu) are
being resolved.  SA Michael Scharf is looking into the problem.  Connections
between the SOPC and magellan have been restored, but some of the other links
(to Joe Twicken's neptune) are still not entirely healthy.

     OSCAR2 could be reached yesterday, but we were unable to transfer TDFs.
This morning we were able to obtain 7 new TDFs with typical transfer times
being 3-6 minutes.  This is FAR better than the average 6.5 hrs that was
required a few weeks ago.  Though some of the improvement may be from light
loading just before a long holiday weekend, it appears that Scott Fullner's
efforts at JPL may have paid off.
