Shift L435. 
	Start at 273:12:00  GMT
		 = 08:00am    29 Sep EDT
	End	   12:00 noon 29 Sep
   
SOT Lead	DAS
(Times will be given in GMT on day 273. In general
times are rough, not precise.)

PLAN
----
Continue running load SEP02800b. Exit radiation belts, perform the TOO
ACIS-S observation of GRB000926, obsid 598, insert the gratings during a real
time comm starting at 19:00 GMT. Pick up the previously planned
program with HRC-S/LETG observations of YY Gem, obsid 28, and AM HER,
obsid 645. YY Gem is shortened to about 55 Ksec, but includes two eclipses.


Next Comms:
No Comm this shift.
 273:16:20 to 17:20
 273:19:00 to 21:30 added comm for LETG insertion
 274:00:30 to 01:30
 274:06:50 to 08:50
 274:17:00 to 18:00
 275:02:30 to 03:30
 275:11:30 to 13:30
 275:21:00 to 23:00

Orbital events:
 274:16:51       ORBIT APOGEE 
 276:00:34     ORBIT PERIGEE

NOTES/ISSUES/PROBLEMS
From the 9am status meeting:
	Overnight, the SEP2400c load was stopped, and the SEP2800b
load with the TOO for the gamma ray burst GR000926 was loaded. The
gratings were removed during the 06:30 contact, as reported in
SOT shift report 2000-09-29 H435. Gratings will be reinserted via
real time commanding during the comm at 19:00 this afternoon.

Data connectivity to flow realtime telemetry to the  ACA, HRC and ACIS
EGSE has been restored.

Quick look data:
