PLAN
----
Continue running load MAR1708A. Do obsids 9838 and 8990, ACIS-S ToO
observations of the black hole transient H 1743-322 to try to resolve
in time the spectral softening which occurs in the transition to the
low state. In between, do Obsid 9378, an ACIS-I observation of the
massive, relaxed cluster of galaxies MACS 1359, as part of a program
to detect effects of dark energy. Then into perigee passage.

NOTES/ISSUES/PROBLEMS
From the 9am status meeting:
Three supports completed. No  issues.
MAR3108 prelim schedule has been circulated, products out next week.
ACE solar protons are at background level, <20 particles/cm2-s-ster-MeV.
No significant solar activity is expected. 

Around noon today we will conduct the quarterly testing of the various
sot_* lists. Please report discrepancies to taldcroft@cfa.harvard.edu.
