    Sector Notes

    Noted Issue Description
    Spacecraft pointing Camera 1 suffered from strong scattered light signals at the end of orbit 65 and orbit 66, and so Camera 4 alone was used for guiding during this sector.
    Scattered light In Sector 29, the Moon introduces a strong glint in Camera 1 at the end of orbit 65, and the Earth introduces scattered light signals in all cameras at the end of both orbits.
