Items and Issues to Address Post-field Project

2022/01/11 Flight Items

  • 2DS Can Low Pressure
    • Issue - The 2DS pressure went < 9 psi; while the HVPS3 pressures remained high.
    • Cause - Like cause is a bad o-ring or seal on Can. Will remove probe and check o-ring.
  • Downlinking Data
    • Issue - On NASA system not getting down link packages from the M300. Will ground trouble shoot.
  • Hawkeye TimeSync
    • Issue - Have to manually set the time on the Hawkeye computer.
    • Cause - Works on other computers and can ping the NTP server. Will ground trouble shoot.
    • Fix - Needed to adjust the Time server IP address in the 'NTP Time Server Monitor (the application is on the desktop). Had to click on the NTP Configuration File tab and scrolled down to replace the old time server IP address. Next, we had to run the 'SPEC NTP Sync' application (also located on the desktop) which allowed the time to sync up with the P-3. Now the time should sync up with the aircraft upon boot-up.
  • M300 WCM Data
    • Issue - Need to adjust M300 configuration so Data status window correctly displays getting WCM data.

2022/01/17 Flight Items

  • HVPS-3A Connection issue
    • Issue - Software was not able to connect the the probe. Was able to ping the probe through the software and through a command prompt. Still no data.
