PLAN ---- Continue running load OCT3000c. Finish OBSID 2243 and do OBSID 2244, both ACIS-S observations of narrow-line, far infrared luminous X-ray galaxies, GSGP4X:057 and GSGP4X:057, respectively. Then safe SIs for perigee passage, and perform ACIS CTI measurements. Next Comms: 304:21:55 to 22:55 305:06:00 to 07:00 305:16:00 to 17:00 306:02:00 to 03:00 306:09:45 to 10:45 306:17:30 to 18:30 Orbital events: 2000:305:02:38:39.797 170 ORBIT PERIGEE 2000:306:10:22:37.192 171 ORBIT APOGEE 2000:307:18:06:52.029 171 ORBIT PERIGEE 2000:309:01:50:14.645 172 ORBIT APOGEE 2000:310:09:34:31.506 172 ORBIT PERIGEE EVENTS ------ Status at LOS, 304:14:10, was as follows: PCAD MODE = NPNT CONTROL LAW FLAG = NPNT Stars: = 5 FIDS = 3 RA = 14.333 deg DEC = -27.735 deg ROLL = 331.732 deg Format = 2 OBSID = 2243 GSGP4X:057 SIM FA = -467 SIM TSC = 75623 (ACIS-S) HETG = OUT (79.84 deg) LETG = OUT (78.34 deg) HRC-I HV is ON EPHIN Geom = LARG E1300 = 0.1 LT 10.0 (RADMON P4GM = 0.8 LT 300.

Someone needs to login and restart the pmon and other(?) processes. The ASVT rehearsal of ACA dark current calibration products has not yet been scheduled for this week. It must be done this week so that the actual dark current test can be run the week of Nov 13. We also do not yet have the 3 hr comm scheduled for the real-time ACIS clocking test to be run the week of Nov 13. From the 9am status meeting: Thanks to all for running the lunar eclipse so smoothly last Friday night. CAP has been run to back out all the lunar eclipse patches. Three load segments uplinked over the weekend. On board command loads are good until 308:01:30. Thursday will be the string 1/string 2 transition, as part of the new ONLS/OFLS promotion. We'll have a 14 hour gap between contacts from 11:30pm EST Nov 1, to 1:40pm EST Nov 2. At 1pm today will be a discussion to follow up status and action items from the Sept 26 splinter meeting proposing SSR pointers be reset prior to the next dump instead of following the current dump. We will then ask to what extent our current procedures allow operating in the manner, and what changes to procedures are needed or desired for such operation. 405-244-5060, passcode 1159# Jeff Shirer will lead an overall team investigating the ACIS DPA-A power off fault last week. Bob Goeke will provide the support needed from the ACIS instrument team.
