TESS Sector 59 observations include physical orbits 125 and 126 of the spacecraft around the Earth. Data collection was paused for a total of 0.63 days to download data. Data were downloaded approximately every seven days, once near apogee of each orbit and once near perigee. Note that the Sector 59 data were briefly made available on 2023 January 18–19 before an issue was identified that required reprocessing. Data have since been reprocessed. The reprocessing has a minimal impact on the final light curves, but resulted in a different set of TCEs than initially released. Users should re-download the data if retrieved before January 19th. In total, there are 25.79 days of science data collected in Sector 59.
TESS Sector 31 observations include physical orbits 69 and 70 of the spacecraft around the Earth. Data collection was paused for 1.40 days between the orbits to download data. Astar tracker anomaly occurred at UTC 2020-11-16 10:37, which led to the instrument being turned off. As a result, the data collection period in orbit 70 ended 2.08 days earlier than scheduled; there is no other effect on the data. The cameras were turned on and returned to normal operations on 2020-11-20, at the beginning of Sector 32. In total, there are 24.03days of science data collected in Sector 31
TESS Sector 61 observations include physical orbits 129 and 130 of the spacecraft around the Earth. Data collection was paused for a total of 0.63 days to download data. Data were downloaded approximately every seven days, once near apogee of each orbit and once near perigee. In total, there are 24.80 days of science data collected in Sector 61.
TESS Sector 62 observations include physical orbits 131 and 132 of the spacecraft around the Earth. Data collection was paused for a total of 0.63 days to download data. Data were downloaded approximately every seven days, once near apogee of each orbit and once near perigee. In total, there are 25.08 days of science data collected in Sector 62.
TESS Sector 58 observations include physical orbits 123 and 124 of the spacecraft around the Earth. Data collection was paused for a total of 0.63 days to download data. Data were downloaded approximately every seven days, once near apogee of each orbit and once near perigee. In total, there are 27.09 days of science data collected in Sector 58.
TESS Sector 60 observations include physical orbits 127 and 128 of the spacecraft around the Earth. Data collection was paused for a total of 0.63 days to download data. Data were downloaded approximately every seven days, once near apogee of each orbit and once near perigee. At TJD 2949.99, the spacecraft entered into safe mode, resulting in instrument turn-off until TJD 2955.04. There are no FFIs, target pixel file data, or light curve data during this time. During these times (as well as when the spacecraft is transmitting data to ground systems) the data and timestamps in target-pixel files and light curve files are set to NULL. One FFI from Camera 1 in orbit 127 was corrupted prior to downlink from the spacecraft and could not be recovered. The FFIINDEX number is 00738895 (timestamp 2022358084201), and no FFI file for Camera 1 was produced for this cadence. In total, there are 20.01 days of science data collected in Sector 60.
