Magellan Significant Events for Week Ending 03/25/94

1.  The Magellan spacecraft continues to perform nominally.

2.  Following the OTMs on March 10, spacecraft controllers noticed small
fluctuations in the motor current for gyro B1. The B1 motor current has now
returned to a steady and expected performance.

3.  Similar fluctuations have been seen on other gyros and, in some cases, led
to declining performance which required switching to redundant units.  The loss
of any one of the remaining gyros would very likely end the mission.

4.  As of noon Friday, Magellan has completed 11825 orbits (78%) of the 15140
orbits it is expected to complete by the End-of-Mission (October 31, 1994).
