SOT shift report 2009-07-15 L3646 File created at 2009:196:14:54 UTC = 10:54AM Jul-15-2009 EDT End 11:00:00AM EDT SOT Lead: Ed Kellogg A bit of history upon the approach of Chandra's tenth anniversary, from the Chandra chronicles, July 12, 1999, when we were imagining that Chandra might launch on July 20th:  "Astrophysicists have little use for astrology, that wicked step-sister of astronomy. Most would agree with X. R. Photon's observation that 'astrology is, at best, a waste of newsprint...' However, space history polymath Dr. Jonathan McDowell of the Chandra Center has pointed out that July 20th is an auspicious day for the U. S. space program. 'It was July 20th, 1969, when Neil Armstrong stepped out of the lunar module onto the Sea of Tranquility,' McDowell said. 'And it was July 20th, 1976, that Viking 1 landed on the surface of Mars.' Like those two epochal missions, NASA officials and scientists expect Chandra to change our view of the cosmos after it is launched on July 20th, 1999." (http://chandra.harvard.edu/chronicle/archives/archives99.html) Of course, Chandra's launch ended being scheduled for very early on July 22nd, and then delayed until 12:31:00:04 a.m. EDT - July 23, 1999, bowing to the weather and other matters...

There was a glitch in the V&V SERVER that required an unanticipated upgrade to Solaris 10. The quick look web server has a similar problem, so it is not yet available, but quick look processing is operating on schedule.
