Notes/Issues/Problems
---------------------
At shift start we are AOS-Canberra with OBSID 1229 running. Daily load
progressing nominally.

In working the plan for load P8, CXC-MP believes that there is not
enough time between the conclusion of the HETG focus plates and
observations of Cyg X-2 that need the best-focus position. Only about
20ks is in the timeline for obtaining the dump, processing, and
analyzing the data. CXC and FOT MP are looking for activities to fill
this time. Possibilities are:
  1) extend the time for the Crab Pulsar TE/CC or Cyg X-2 CC observations
  2) retract grating and do additional ACIS calibration targets
  3) do ACIS diagnostic tests
  4) collect HRC calibration data
  5) ??????
Perhaps the time interval of concern could also be arranged to occur
around a radiation zone which would allow an additional ~10 hours
(maybe not enough additional time).
M. Weisskopf tells me that he believes that D. Dewey said the Capella
observations could go ahead without the analysis of the focus plates
result (our knowledge of the focus position is good enough).

The P8 load activities need to leave time for HETG launch lock release
and HETG insertion to be performed during real-time contacts and using
format 4. Ken Gage has recommended that the requirements be conveyed
to the CXC-MP group so that the observations, that may be concurrent,
allocate sufficient time.

The current load (P5P6) is short-changing the ACIS observations
slightly; as an example: the OR for OBSID 1071 requests 2000 s but the
time between the "start science" command
	XTZ0000005,TIME=1999:234:13:53:33.531
and the "stop science" command
	AA00000000,TIME=1999:234:14:25:05.531
is only 1892 s.
