To:sot_shift from: Dan Schwartz date: 30 Jun 00 , 12:00noon EDT Subject: SOT shift report 2000-06-30, L343 -------- See http://asc.harvard.edu/acis/SOT_reports/sot-shift.html, or /proj/ascwww/AXAF/extra/science/htdocs/acis/SOT_reports/Jun_30_2000_L343.txt. Shift L343. Start at 182:12:00 GMT = 08:00am 30 Jun EDT End 12:00 noon 30 Jun SOT Lead DAS (Times will be given in GMT on day 182. In general times are rough, not precise.) PLAN Continue running load JUN2500d. Do ACIS-S observation of Kepler's Supernova remnant, OBSID 116. Then perform CTI measurements surrounding perigee passage. The week's load will then complete with OBSID 99, ACIS-S on GRO J1655-40; OBSID 905, ACIS-I on the compact group of galaxies HCG 90; and OBSID 310, ACIS-S on M31 transient monitoring. Next Comms: 182:11:55 to 13:55 182:20:00 to 21:45 183:07:00 to 08:00 183:15:20 to 16:20 183:23:40 to 01:40 184:08:15 to 09:15 184:17:55 to 18:55 EVENTS Status at LOS, 182:05:59, was as follows: PCAD MODE = NPNT CONTROL LAW FLAG = NPNT Stars: = 5 FIDS = 3 RA = 245.878 deg DEC = -26.525 deg ROLL = 268.982 deg Format = 2 OBSID = 946 (NGC 6121) SIM FA = -467 SIM TSC = 75624 (ACIS-S) HETG = OUT (80.2 deg) LETG = OUT (78.3 deg) HRC-S HV is ON EPHIN: A-Leak = 0.4840 mu-a B-Leak = 0.0760 mu-a Descending through 143355 km. 11:55 AOS Status at AOS, 182:11:58, was as follows: PCAD MODE = NMAN CONTROL LAW FLAG = NPNT Stars: = 2 FIDS = 3 RA = 246.369 deg DEC = -26.344 deg ROLL = 268.771 deg Format = 2 OBSID = 946 (starting maneuver) SIM FA = -467 SIM TSC = 75624 (ACIS-S) HETG = OUT (80.2 deg) LETG = OUT (78.3 deg) HRC-S HV is ON EPHIN: A-Leak = 0.3480 mu-a B-Leak = 0.0560 mu-a Descending through 136811 km. 13:55 LOS Status at LOS, 182:13:54, was as follows: PCAD MODE = NPNT CONTROL LAW FLAG = NPNT Stars: = 5 FIDS = 3 RA = 262.655 deg DEC = -21.481 deg ROLL = 260.963 deg Format = 2 OBSID = 116 (Kepler's SNR) SIM FA = -467 SIM TSC = 75624 (ACIS-I) HETG = OUT (80.2 deg) LETG = OUT (78.3 deg) HRC-S HV is ON EPHIN: A-Leak = 0.2960 mu-a B-Leak = 0.0480 mu-a Descending through 133101 km. NOTES/ISSUES/PROBLEMS ACE 130-214 Proton fluxes steady or slightly decreasing at ~1000/cm^2-s-ster-MeV. Higher energy protons have steadily decreased an order of magnitude over the past 24 hours. As of ~1400, 130-214 Proton fluxes start increasing to 3500, and higher energy decrease has stopped. (I shouldn't have bothered to write the first paragraph.) From the 9am status meeting: Passes on DSS-66 and DSS-16 resulted in problem reports, but 4 dumps successfully got all the data. JUL0200 load received final approval yesterday. Products for JUL0900 will possibly be circulated today, otherwise Monday(?) for a load review on Wednesday July 5, 2pm. Quick look data: A look at the two ACIS CTI runs, 62011 and 62010, verifies that the T-plane lock-out problem was present on the former, as previously noted, and was absent on the latter -- which was after FEP power was cycled. ------------------------------------------------------- Dan Schwartz, MS #3 das@head-cfa.harvard.edu phone: (617)495-7232 FAX: (617)495-7356 cell phone: (617)512-5627 pager: 800-759-8352 PIN 1636502 or e-mail 1636502@skytel.com -------------------------------------------------------
