Scintillation Prediction Observations Research Task (SPORT)

The Brazilian Technical Institute for Aeronautics (ITA) continues to perform integrated test of the spacecraft and the instruments. They performed additional calibration test on the Sweeping Langmuir Probe (SLP).  They also performed additional tests on the Ion Velocity Meter (IVM) and the data was validated by University of Texas at Dallas (UTD).Attitude Determination and Control System (ADCS) operational modes verification on the SPORT engineering model (EM) is in progress. They performed a day-in-the-life test with focus on EMI between the instruments; they also performed the magnetic survey, the external dimension measurement, the mass properties measurements, and started the vibration test.

ITA continues working with the National Institute for Space Research (INPE) Operations Team and they have delivered of the last version of the telecommand and telemetry list to INPE.
