Shift L2779. Start at 060:13:00 GMT = 08:00am 01 Mar EST End 10:00am 01 Mar SOT Lead DAS (Times will be given in GMT on day 060.) PLAN ---- Continue running load FEB2607C. Continue the ACIS-S/HETG observation of the accreting young star TW Hya, obsid 7436, to distinguish X-ray emission from a hot corona vs. an accretion shock, and to probe the density and structure of the magnetic regions.

EPH temp: 102.38 degF EPH 27V: 12.69 NOTES/ISSUES/PROBLEMS From the 9am status meeting: Three supports over the past day. No issues. MAR0507A products approved yesterday. Mission planning and constraints working group this morning will discuss whether the Venus observations next summer are possible, given the 45.3 deg pitch angle. At yesterday's monthly ACIS team meeting it was noted that the detector housing heater has been close to losing control at various times. ACIS team will correlated with SIM position and pitch angle. Maintenance will be performed on the OCC Exchange server following this afternoon's support, starting at 5pm and expected to last less than 1 hour.
