PLAN
----
Continue running load OCT0502B. Finish observation 2708, ACIS-S/HETG
of GX13+1, a low mass neutron star with iron-K absorption lines, and
go on to a series of relatively short, 5 and 10 ksec, ACIS-S observations of
some quasars, ASCA blank field X-ray sources, the starburst galaxy
NGC2146, and a search for X-rays from possible planets around the
star Beta Pic.

Ascending through 123333 km. ACIS focal plane temperature -119.1. 


NOTES/ISSUES/PROBLEMS
ACIS focal plane is still a little warm at -119.1

From the 9am status meeting:
	Three supports in the last 24 hours, all routine. No CAPs or
uplinks, on-board loads good until 284:02:30
	OCT1402B products are out for a telecon load review at 2pm
today. OBSID  2563,  the accreting protostar L1527, has been removed
from the schedule because it needs a significantly different roll
angle to schedule sufficient stars.
	A telemetry glitch over the weekend caused a spurious
indication of a thruster firing. This will be investigated.

No new quick looks this shift.
