NOTES/ISSUES/PROBLEMS ACIS focal plane temperature has held steady at -119.7. From the 9am status meeting: Two supports, both 34m. On-board loads good through 308:01:22. NOV1102 loads in work, expect sit-down review on Monday, Nov 4. Plans for LEONID encounter will be presented at the FD CCB this afternoon.
