SPINNING SPINNING OB gt 8600 On November 4 2009 toward the end of Cycle2 AGILE scientific operations were reconfigured following a malfunction of the rotation wheel occurred in mid October 2009 The satellite is currently operating in a spinning observing mode i e with the solar panels pointing at the Sun and the instrument axis sweeping the sky with an angular speed of 0 8 degree sec The instrument and all the detectors are operating nominally producing data with quality equivalent to that obtained when operating in pointing mode IMPORTANT To avoid spurious artefacts the spinning dataset file type STD1 must be analysed in a similar way to the non cleaned pointing data file type STDOP according to the following recommendations on parameter values when generating maps fovrad 50 albrad 90 phasecode 2 See explanation for the new file naming convention in the Data Retrieval section below KKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK KES AKE Delivered Data KKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK KKK KKK KKK KKK KKK KKK KKK KKK KKK KKK KKK KKK KKK KKK KKK KKK KKK KK KKK KKK KKK KK KKK KKK KKK KKK KKK KKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK KKK KKK KKK The AGILE observing mode was spinning for all Cycle 3 OBs AGILE Cycle 3 spinning observations were structured as a series of 22 OBs with a dummy pointing direction each corresponding to a u2.
