The ACIS focal plane temp did not stay at -90C so the heater was re-enabled. First ACIS FCM measurement is progressing. We had considerable trouble establishing a solid lock on switch-over to Goldstone (223:22:20). A solid down-link at 512kbps is needed for the ACA dark current cal data. Signal to noise improved as the ACA cal data runs progressed.
