Shift L3373. Start at 289:12:00 GMT = 08:00am 15 Oct EDT End 10:00am 15 Oct SOT Lead DAS (Times will be given in GMT on day 289.) PLAN ---- Continue running load OCT1308A. Finish ascending cti and do obsid 10783, an ACIS-S ToO of the low mass X-ray binary EXO 0748-676 in a quiescent state, to study time history and search for emission from the crust material. Then do obsid 10784, an ACIS-I pointing at the Great Nebula in Carina to map the Carina star-forming complex to study the on-going star formation and interaction with the diffuse medium. Then obsid 7445, an ACIS-S/HETG observation of Eta Carina to diagnose the line emission in the stellar wind bow shock.

The OCT2008A loads were approved yesterday. CAP 563A was successfully run to verify the CPE warm start count. There will be a dry run of the backup OCC during the pass at 1735EDT this afternoon. Will be non-interference with operational activities.
