WEEKLY HIGHLIGHTS FOR WEEK ENDING 24 DECEMBER 1999:
STANFORD HIGHLIGHT
Probe C has been successfully removed from the flight dewar, thus
completing Payload Test I. During the removal process, probe temperatures
were monitored. These measurements give additional insight into the probe's
anomalous radial thermal conduction. Following the removal of the probe
from the dewar, the probe instrumentation and suspension cables were
remeasured. The team members involved in this work include M. Anderson, B.
Clarke, J. Maddocks, B. Muhlfelder, D. Murray, M. Taber, and, T. Welsh

SPACE VEHICLE HIGHLIGHT
The Flight Computer was returned from Southwest Research and reinstalled
onto the spacecraft. Both the A-side and B-side were successfully powered
on. A confidence test was run to ensure the flight software loaded
properly. The format switches and the memory dumps performed show that the
CCCA is in good health and ready to support additional spacecraft testing.
