    Sector Notes

    Noted Issue Description
    Safe mode At TJD 2949.99, the spacecraft entered into safe mode, resulting in instrument turn-off until TJD 2955.04. 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. One FFI from Camera 1 in orbit 127 was corrupted prior to downlink from the spacecraft and could not be recovered. The FFIINDEX number is 00738895 (timestamp 2022358084201), and no FFI file for Camera 1 was produced for this cadence.
    Spacecraft pointing The pointing in Sector 60 was set at +55.5 degrees in ecliptic latitude. Camera 4 alone was used for guiding in the first half of orbit 127. Camera 1 and Camera 4 were both used for guiding at all other times.
    Scattered light In Sector 60, the Earth introduces scattered light signals at the very start of each orbit.
