    Sector Notes

    Noted Issue Description
    Corrupted data: One FFI from Camera 2 in orbit 151 was corrupted prior to downlink from the spacecraft and could not be recovered. The FFIINDEX number is 878254, and no FFI file for Camera 2 was produced for this cadence.
    Spacecraft pointing: The pointing in Sector 72 was set at -0.7 degrees in ecliptic latitude with the cameras aligned parallel to the ecliptic plane. Camera 1 was used for guiding in Orbit 151a and Cameras 1 and 4 were used in Orbit 151b. Camera 1 was used for guiding in Orbit 152a and Cameras 1 and 4 in 152b.
    Scattered light: In Sector 72, the Earth introduces scattered light signals at the beginning of each orbit, and the Moon impacts Camera 4 at the end of Orbit 152.
