Notes/Issues/Problems
---------------------
At shift start we are LOS; next AOS expected at 13:00 GMT.

Issues from P7 load review:
 - ACIS observations are effectively shorter than their requested
time due to the OFLS not having knowledge of which parameter block is
the "start science" and overhead once the start science has been
issued. Future 1000 s observations should be converted to 1250 s.
 - The ACIS first observation after radiation zone exit (OBSID 466)
has not been extended by 2000s. It was decided that there was not
adequate time to add the time in and reschedule/regenerate the load
before the comm pass needed for upload.
 - A review of the hex of the SIM commands was required before load
would be approved for upload.
NOTE: I emailed the SIM command hex portions from the P7 mission
timeline report to Eric Vrem and he confirmed that these were
good. B. Twambly also verified good command content.

Rob Cameron pointed out that due to an update to the characteristics
file of the ACIS-I aimpoint, the fid-light positions in the P7 load are
not correct. It was agreed in principle that the load could still be
used. What will have to be done is to command an increase in the size
of the fid-light search box during the real-time pass when the SIM
motion to ACIS-I occurs. It may also be necessary to have the ACA look
for the brightest not the most central source. A similar issue may
come up for the first HRC-I and HRC-S observations.

P8 load products are planned to be out for review tomorrow morning
(~8am EDT); comments are expected back 4 hours later. There are still
several open issues concerning how the HETG operations will fold into
the load.

M. Weisskopf and C. Canizares raised a concern at the P7 review of the
discrepancy in timing between the Phase 2 Timeline spreadsheet and the
actual progress of the schedule. 

TRW has not received anything from Ball concerning the SIM SEA
software patch to raise the calibration curve.
