Glitchy satellites

... really? That steady, eh?

[edit to crop:]

I know that RTMS data can clitch out when odd readings from ACE come in but... what the heck is this?

It isn't too unsual for data loss from the ACE satellite. It occurs for various reasons including problems with ground stations.

What ever is happening now will probably show up in the weekly status report when it becomes available next week.

Glitches are often used an excuse to deny access to certain data.

As phage says, they will have a satisfactory cover-story in their weekly report - nothing to see here. Move along

Yeah, either way it sucks.

Great frigging timing..

Sweet, RTMS is back up now.
