Description:
The detector dewar failed during a power failure at midnight GMT on 10Feb02. All data 
through 10Feb02 are good. The detector dewar failure resulted in the detector not being 
cooled. A warm detector produces only noise. There is no usable data beginning 11Feb02 through 
14Feb02 at which time the system was shut off and the detector removed for repair. All 
spectral data is not usable in this period. Some meta data such as temperatures are usable.
