PLAN
----
Continue running load DEC2109B. Finish obsid 11027, an HRC/LETG
observation of RX J0806.3+1527 to follow up a previous detection of
line emission to constrain the history of this degenerate binary
system via element identifications and abundances. Then do obsid
12065, another part of the ACIS-S/HETG Eta Carina observation to study
mass loss via line profiles, at various phases of the X-ray
minima. Then do obsid 11824, an ACIS-S GTO observation of the
thermally emitting neutron star RX J2143.0+0654 to determine more
accurate timing and hence estimate of the magnetic field.

NOTES/ISSUES/PROBLEMS
---------------------
From the 9am status meeting:
Three supports over the past day, no issues. One stored command
segment uplinked, on-board loads are good until 361:23:28.
The monthly ephemeris update patch, 648DK, was run successfully.
A slow ToO was accepted -- first observation is in JAN1810 loads, so
no immediate impact.
Sun quiet, with some A class X-ray emission. ACE low energy protons
barely above background.
