An Instrument Status History log is maintained by the AATSR Flight Operations Support Team and is available from the AATSR Operations web site http://www.aatsrops.rl.ac.uk . The Weekly Reports published on this site also contain a section on Forthcoming Activities listing forthcoming outgassings, Black Body cross-over tests, Envisat orbital maneuvers etc. as and when the FOS team are made aware of them (see Weekly Reports\Latest). Instrument availability is also logged by ESA at http://envisat.esa.int/instruments/availability/ and both instrument and data unavailability is reported in the AATSR Cyclic Reports http://earth.esa.int/pcs/envisat/aatsr/reports/cyclic . Background information on issues relating to AATSR Flight Operations can be found in Sections 1.1.3.2 and 3.2.2.2.1 of the AATSR handbook (see Q7).
