Shift L1280. Start at 022:13:00 GMT = 08:00am 22 Jan EST End 12:00 noon 22 Jan SOT Lead DAS (Times will be given in GMT on day 022.) PLAN ---- Continue running load JAN2003B. Finish ACIS-S obsid 3192 of the cooling flow, radio emitting cluster of galaxies A2626. Then ACIS-I obsid 3285 of the distant and very X-ray luminous cluster MACSJ2228.5+2036. Then short ACIS-S observations before perigee, obsid 4132 and 4136 of radio-loud Narrow Line Seyfert I galaxies FIRST J070625+390151 and FIRST J110223+223920, separated by obsid 3562 of the luminous z > 4 radio quasar SDSS083946.22+511202.8.

NOTES/ISSUES/PROBLEMS From the 9am status meeting: Two supports in the last day. The current support with DSS-16 had problems so we are behind on record dumps, but will not roll over to SSR-B. One load segment was uplinked so on-board loads are valid through 026:22:44. FOT will celebrate the "roll-out" of their new web pages at 1pm tomorrow. All are invited. ACIS SOT team is waiting to review the SOP to set the focal plane temperature to -121 deg C (which actually makes the temperature -119.9) and the test RTS for a, say, 3 hour ACIS cti integration time. Subsequent to verification of the latter, the FOT has agreed to build a sequence of RTS from 3 to 24 hours long. These will be used in conjunction with radiation events to get long ACIS cti runs after the radiation has subsided and prior to resuming the normal science observations.
