Bad ephemeris for THEMIS-C, 2024-08-07 #180

Rita Johnson at SPDF passed along a funny-looking ephemeris plot that someone was asking about:

Something went wrong in the MOC processing for the 2024-08-07 predicted ephemeris. We have good data in the 48-hour ephemeris file from the preceding day, so it should be possible to reprocess the Aug 7 data products, summary plots, and orbit plots, and give Rita a heads up to check that the corrections made it to CDAWeb.

I was able to generate a correct THEMIS-C 2024-08-07 state CDF from the 48-hour predict from 2024-08-06. The affected BFDS products directory has been removed from /disks/themisdata/bfds, so it won't come back to bite us if we ever have to do a ground-up reprocessing.
