    Sector Notes

    Noted Issue Description
    Safe mode At TJD 2863.28, the spacecraft entered into safe mode, resulting in instrument turn-off until TJD 2866.41. There are no FFIs, target pixel file data, or light curve data during this time. During these times (as well as when the spacecraft is transmitting data to ground systems) the data and timestamps in target-pixel files and light curve files are set to NULL.
    Spacecraft pointing The pointing in Sector 57 was set at +54 degrees in ecliptic latitude so, so that Camera 4 was pointed at the North Ecliptic Pole. Camera 1 and Camera 4 alone were used for guiding in both orbit 121 and 122, except for the second half of orbit 121 in which Camera 4 alone was used for guiding.
    Scattered light In Sector 57, the Moon introduces scattered light signals towards the second half of orbit 1.
