Shift L4141. Start at 326:13:00 GMT = 08:00am 22 Nov EST End 10:00am 22 Nov SOT Lead DAS (Times will be given in GMT on day 326.) PLAN ---- Continue running load NOV2210A. Finish obsid 12885, an ACIS-I observation of the merging cluster of galaxies Abell 2034, to distinguish between a cold front and a merger shock, and to study features of the shock. Then do obsid 12111, an HRC-I observation of M31, to continue monitoring light curves of the super-soft sources as well as the X-ray binaries. Then do obsid 12419, an ACIS-I observation of the hard galactic plane source IGR J03103+5706 as part of a program to identify the INTEGRAL satellite sources. NOTES/ISSUES/PROBLEMS --------------------- From the 9am status meeting: Nine supports over the weekend. DSS-27 lost contact for 15 minutes, technician fixed problem. Subsequently 10 commands were sent but no command count increment from spacecraft. Cleared COG buffer and all was well. The commands presumably were correctly received, and it was the latency of the new SLE/DCD system which prevented confirmation. NOV2910 products expected out today for review tomorrow. ToO is expected to be in week of DEC0610 One more eclipse successful over the weekend. CAP review this morning for uplink of the patch to increase the telescope thermal health check thresholds, and for the contingency backout patch. Sun is very quiet.
