NASA Y2K Status Report for 5 p.m. EST (2200 UTC) Jan. 3, 2000



The first business day of the Year 2000 turned up no significant
problems in NASA information technology systems. A few small
glitches were found in business systems that had not been
used since before the Y2K rollover, but they were quickly
identified and fixed.

"The NASA Y2K team should take pride in what has been a truly
extraordinary accomplishment," said NASA Chief Information
Officer Lee Holcomb, who oversaw the Agency's Y2K effort. "As
of today, NASA has transitioned successfully to the Year 2000
with no significant  problems. The  few minor anomalies that
arose were easily fixed and we have closed them all out."


Only two space-related systems suffered problems that appeared
to be Y2K-related, but neither problem directly affected real-
time mission-critical systems. One problem occurred in software
used to plan communications opportunities between the Upper
Atmosphere Research Satellite and the Tracking and Data Relay
Satellite System. The other occurred in orbital-prediction
software used by NASA's Deep Space Network. Workarounds for
both problems were developed over the weekend.


Unless events warrant otherwise, this will be the last Y2K
Status Report for NASA.

NASA Y2K STATUS FOR 3 a.m. EST (0800 UTC) Jan. 1, 2000

 -- Following the transition to the Year 2000 in the Pacific
Time Zone, NASA continues to be "green", meaning Agency
systems have not been substantively affected by any problems
during the year-end transition. During the primary monitoring
period (8 a.m. EST Dec. 31 through 3 a.m. EST Jan. 1) the
Agency suffered a few minor anomalies that were easily fixed.
Only one, involving a piece of planning software, appeared to
be Y2K related, and it did not affect any mission-critical
systems.

 --Flight controllers continue to make contact with NASA
spacecraft according to previously planned schedules. The
spacecraft and related communications systems are functioning
without incident. Remaining NASA spacecraft, which have been
configured so as not to require commanding over the Y2K
transition, will be contacted by controllers over the next
several days.


-- The Johnson Space Center reports that the Mission Control
Center for the International Space Station, which was taken
offline before the Y2K transition in Moscow (4 p.m. EST
Dec. 31), was successfully brought back online.


  -- Also over the next few days, NASA will continue to
monitor its infrastructure and business systems. The
Agency expects to resume business as usual on Monday,
Jan. 3.

-- Unless events warrant otherwise, the next NASA
Y2K status report will be issued the afternoon of Jan. 3

 NASA Y2K STATUS REPORT FOR MIDNIGHT EST

 This is the NASA Y2K Status Report for midnight EST,
 Dec. 31, 1999 (0500 Jan. 1, 2000 UTC):

     The Agency continues to be "green", with no major
incidents affecting Agency systems.

--Flight controllers continue to make contact with NASA
spacecraft according to previously planned schedules.
The Goddard Space Flight Center reported planned contacts
with 11 missions: Landsat 7, the Hubble Space Telescope,
the Compton Gamma Ray Observatory, the Far Ultraviolet
Spectroscopic Explorer (FUSE), the Earth Radiation Budget
Satellite (ERBS), the X-ray Timing Explorer (XTE), the
Extreme Ultraviolet Explorer (EUVE), the Upper Atmosphere
Research Satellite (UARS), the Total Ozone Mapping
Spectrometer-Earth Probe (TOMS-EP), the Tropical Rainfall
Measuring Mission (TRMM) and the Transition Region and
Coronal Explorer (TRACE). The spacecraft and related
communicationssystems are functioning without incident.
Remaining NASA spacecraft, which have been configured
so as not to require commanding over the Y2K transition,
will be contacted by controllers over the next several days.


-- The next NASA Y2K status report is scheduled after
the transition of Pacific Standard Time (3 a.m. EST).

                         

 Repeating the NASA Y2K status report for rollover of
Greenwich Mean Time (also known as Universal Time,
occurring at 7 p.m. EST):

 -- All NASA systems linked to GMT appear to have made the
transition to Y2K successfully. No anomalies have been
reported. These systems including the Deep Space Network
and tracking stations in Guam, Chile, Alaska, Australia,
Madrid and Norway. They also include ground stations in
New Mexico for NASA's Tracking and Data Relay Satellite
System, which provides tracking, command and data capabilities
for the International Space Station, Hubble Space Telescope,
Terra satellite and other spacecraft.


-- NASA's Ames Research Center reports that NASA's Internet
name server -- one of eight such computers that provide
fundamental traffic routing on the Internet -- made the
 transition to Y2K at midnight UTC.

--All NASA systems based in countries that have reached
local midnight have made the transition without incident.


-- NASA's team in Moscow reports that the International Space 
Station Mission Mission Control Center there has experienced
no problems.
