>Happy Halloween everyone,
>
>There is nothing out of the ordinary to report this week. ACE continues to
>operate normally and all instruments are functioning well.
>
>The Flight Dynamics group did a wonderful job in executing the orbit
>shaping maneuver a few weeks ago. The maximum Earth-Sun-Vehicle angle never
>exceeded 18.95 degrees. We had requested that it stay below 20 degrees.
>
>We have now passed the point of maximum range on the trajectory loop,
>approximately 1,468,000 km (912,170 mi) and are now headed back down toward
>the Earth-Sun line. We plan to start halo insertion around 9 December.
>
>Just a reminder that preliminary ACE data can now be seen on the Science
>Center Web homepage. Take a look at:
