ACIS focal plane temperature -119.9 degC. EPH temp: 110.83 degF NOTES/ISSUES/PROBLEMS From the 9am status meeting: Three supports over the past day. No issues. One stored command sequence uplinked, on-board loads good until 093:16:42. APR0609A products were released yesterday, for review at 2pm tomorrow. Safe mode recovery training SIM is scheduled for this morning, but hasn't started as planned due to ASVT start up issues. Believed to be a unit which is a couple of degrees too warm.
