Shift L1013. Start at 120:12:00 GMT = 08:00am 30 Apr EDT End 12:00 noon 30 Apr SOT Lead DAS (Times will be given in GMT on day 120.) PLAN ---- Continue running load APR2902C. Finish OBSID 3346, ACIS-I observation of the second of four pointings at the Lockman Hole-Northwest (LH-NW). Then do obsid 3138, an ACIS-S observation of the nearby aligned radio galaxy 3C 321, followed by perigee passage. No comm this shift. Next Comms: 120:1820 to 1920 121:0500 to 0600 121:1510 to 1610 121:2300 to 0000 122:0800 to 0900 Orbital events: 2002:121:12:30:09.351 EPERIGEE 377 ORBIT PERIGEE 2002:122:20:13:27.213 EAPOGEE 378 ORBIT APOGEE 2002:124:03:57:53.023 EPERIGEE 378 ORBIT PERIGEE 2002:125:11:41:24.577 EAPOGEE 379 ORBIT APOGEE EVENTS ------ Status at LOS, 120:11:59, was as follows: PCAD MODE = NPNT CONTROL LAW FLAG = NPNT Stars: = 5 FIDS = 3 RA = 158.504 deg Dec = 57.497 deg ROLL = 235.871 deg Format = 2 OBSID = 3346 LH-NW #5 SIM FA = -535 SIM TSC = 92903 (ACIS-I) HETG = OUT (79.46 deg) LETG = OUT (77.96 deg) HRC-I HV is ON EPHIN Geom = LARG E1300 = 0.1 LT 10.0 (RADMON P4GM = 0.5 LT 300. Triggers) P41GM = 0.0 LT 8.47 A-leak = 1.0200 mu-a B-leak = 0.5280 mu-a Descending through 130782 km. ACIS focal plane temperature -119.7. NOTES/ISSUES/PROBLEMS From the 9am status meeting: Three supports the last 24 hours, no problems. All dumps are current. One load segment uplinked, on-board loads good through 124:13:40. A TOO was approved, obsid 03493, to look at an "X-ray flash" (XRF), identified by BeppoSAX. This will cause rework of the MAY0602 load. Products are expected out today for a load review tomorrow. The email review of MAY0602A was very clean. EPHIN hit 81 Deg F yesterday. The frequency of exceeding 80 deg, and the maximum temperatures reached, have decreased, due to the Earth moving away from perihelion and to increased care by mission planning to avoid excessively long intervals at unfavorable pitch angles. Simulation will be held today, starting about 10:30am EDT. This will start with the team knowing we are in safe mode and having acquired a block of DSN time for recovery, and will rehearse the recovery process.
