IIA Vehicles On Last Clock

• SVN 36: has a higher likelihood of failing due to its Rb clock being turned on with over 8 years of on-orbit storage

• SVN-37: being stored as on-orbit spare in LADO• SVN-32: being stored as on-orbit spare in LADO

IIR/IIR(M) Clock Status No IIR/IIR(M) clock failures to date

SVN 43: First IIR launch, AFS 3 on for test purposes only

SVN 44:

AFS 1 had a baseplate heater failure Clock is assessed as viable Performance could be slightly degraded during eclipse season

SVN 61:AFS 3 clock failureSwitched to AFS 1
