In current plan the first HETG observation is no earlier than 10 days after sun-shade door opening. LETG first use is no earlier than 17 days after sun-shade door opening. HRC MCP HV activities may affect these times. The ACIS team made a decision that the focal plane temperature should be raised to -60C prior to aft contamination cover (ACC) opening. This has a significant impact on the planned schedule - the ACC opening must be delayed to the second opportunity at day 223 ~14:30. The time window of the original opportunity (day 223 10:30) will be used to command the ACIS focal plane to -50C and monitor the temperature. Prior to ACC opening there is a step in the procedure to obtain SOT concurrence that the pressure in the telescope is low enough. This was originally included to avoid contaminating the HRMA due to OBA out-gassing. The SOT lead should be prepared with a response (presumably a GO for ACC open). ACIS collected data down to below 40000 km.
