Date: 10 June 1996 Requested By: Joe Covington Title: SSR Dump & HR Pattern Reason: For valid science products we need MDI high rate data before and after the SSR dump for a time period 10 times as long as the gap in MDI high rate data. Description: During this 2 month continuous contact we request that for any SSR Dump that the dump be preceeded and followed by 10 times the amount of time the SSR Dump will take of high rate data. We nominally will want at least 200 minutes of high rate for a 10 minute SSR Dump (which consumes 5 minutes to prepare and 5 minutes to end the SSR Dump) and then at least 200 minutes of high rate before any other SSR Dump is done.
