In order to better understand the sensitivity of ACA full field searches to radiation we set up to test this near apogee. The procedure to set up the planned test is CAP 200. An ACIS science run continued running under the LL-OO load to OBC-B while in format 4. When the spacecraft switched over to OBC-B the OBSID went to 0. Thus, the first part of the ACIS background after the door opened went from OBSID 62710 to 0. After the switch to OBC-B we encountered a delay in our ability to run ACIS procedures as the scripts to run on OBC-B were not available. Scripts made available by CAP 202. The PEA software patch has been received at TRW, must undergo testing. TRW SMF estimates patch available for use in 2 days. At ~19:21 GMT the ACA EGSE received several packets with VCDU counts far out of sequence (~400000). When the OBSID change was first commanded after switching to OBC-B we did not see a change in OBSID. The change was commanded to OBC-A corrected when the command was directed to OBC-B; "A" or "B" is a script argument. One result of the switch to OBC-B is that all of the MCP HV SCSs are enabled. We submitted CAP 206 to disable SCSs 87, 88, 89, 90, 91, 92, and 93. This will need to be re-run after the switch to OBC-A. We need to develop a set of criteria for deciding whether a dump from the spacecraft is complete enough for us to "accept" the dump and reset the pointers on the SSR. A possibility is to set a goal number for completeness combined with a number of attempts at a dump. We have requested an update to flight note 194, providing updated statistics on the dumps performed to date. Flight note 253 provides an estimate for the pressure rise in the OBA cavity when the ACC is opened. For a rnage of 1e-4 to 1e-3 torr in the HRMA the pressure in the OBA should go to 1.6e-5 to 9.1e-5 torr. The flight note recommends that the SOT review these numbers for potential impact on the FPSIs.
