              ------------- ACTIVITY LOG --------------
Observing Specialist: J.Dembicky
gcam nubs needed to be restarted during checkout tonight.
I reset the Agile rotator controller this afternoon during chekcout.  That may have been the cause of some of the issues we were seeing last night with the agile rotator.  Agile is scheduled next Saturday, so we want to make sure it is working well before then.  Resetting the controller seems to have fixed this issue after testing.  I can now just init the rotator once again to get things working.
No problems tonight.
