ACIS SOT Shift report L3014 Oct 22, 2007 07:00 EDT, 2007:295:11:00 GMT COMM Periods: = 2007 Oct 22 7:00 am EDT = 2007 Oct 22 8:00 am EDT also = 2007 Oct 22 9:24 am EDT = 2007 Oct 22 10:23 am EDT See http://asc.harvard.edu/acis/SOT_reports/sot_shift.html or /proj/web-cxc/htdocs/acis/SOT_reports/Oct_22_2007_L3014_acis.txt ACIS Personnel: Royce Buehler PLAN: ----- We plan to monitor the ACIS detector housing cooling test that is being performed during the Chandra Deep Field South observation (OBSID 8592). Additional updates will be sent for upcoming passes at 295:16:20, 296:03:45, and after the housing heater is repowered at 296:11:00. The command to turn off the heater was executed in the load at: 2007:294:22:32:18.658 COMMAND_HW 1HHTRBOF and the heater will be turned on again at: 2007:296:10:56:14.111 COMMAND_HW 1HHTRBON for a total of about 131 ks of cooling time. SUMMARY: ------- The 7 am EDT pass was intended as a DSN test pass, and was terminated after about half an hour. We were able to verify that the Detector Housing Heater command had taken effect, though neither camera body had passed its yellow limit yet. The telemetry seen was: 1DAHTBEN=EN 1DAHTBON=OFF 1DAHHBVO= 28.84 (value of the mean over 10 samples) 1DAHBVO= 0.00 (value of the mean over 10 samples) 1DAHBCU= 0.00 (value of the mean over 10 samples) 1CBBT= -62.4 (value of the mean over 10 samples) 1CBAT= -62.4 (value of the mean over 10 samples) 1WRBT= -82.0 (value of the mean over 10 samples) 1WRAT= -82.0 (value of the mean over 10 samples) At the 9:30 am EDT pass, we got one more tick of cooling on the A side. The telemetry seen was: 1DAHTBEN=EN 1DAHTBON=OFF 1DAHHBVO= 28.84 (value of the mean over 10 samples) 1DAHBVO= 0.00 (value of the mean over 10 samples) 1DAHBCU= 0.00 (value of the mean over 10 samples) 1CBBT= -62.4 (value of the mean over 10 samples) 1CBAT= -63.3 (value of the mean over 10 samples) 1WRBT= -82.0 (value of the mean over 10 samples) 1WRAT= -82.0 (value of the mean over 10 samples) When the pass finished at 14:23:23, 1CBAT had descended further to -64.8. The other verifiers remained stable. The next comm will be at 2007:295:16:20.
