SOT shift report 2003-07-16 L1455 Written at 2003:197:15:43 UTC = 10:43 am Jul-16-2003 EDT End 11:00:00 AM EDT SOT Lead: Ed Kellogg PLAN ---- OBSID 04441, MARKARIAN 290 2003:196:23:1, ACIS-S HETG then CAL-ER (60647) 2003:197:16:44. RADIATION SUMMARY ----------------- Solar soft proton flux is Low.. (http://www.srl.caltech.edu/ACE/ASC/) Significant solar activity: Solar flare activity was low. A total of 4 C class events was recorded yesterday.(http://www.dxlc.com/solar/) CMEs reported for past two days: July 13: A filament eruption beginning at 00:32 UTC. LASCO C3 images indicate a faint CME with most of the ejected material observed off the southern limbs. July 14: No potentially geoeffective CMEs observed.(http://www.dxlc.com/solar/, Jan Alvestad) Radiation Measurement Observed Observed/Limit --------------------- -------- -------------- ACE 2hr fluence 6.28E+05 1/573 (http://www.srl.caltech.edu/ACE/ASC/) GOES-10/P2 4-9 MeV protons `P4GM' 5.17E-02 1/1838 (ftp://ftp2.sec.noaa.gov/pub/lists/pchan/G10pchan_5m.txt) GOES-10/P5 40-80 MeV protons `P41GM' 8.55E-03 1/91 (ftp://ftp2.sec.noaa.gov/pub/lists/pchan/G10pchan_5m.txt) *ACIS* Orbital fluence (since perigee) 1.28E+05 1/7813 (http://asc.harvard.edu/mta/alerts/current.dat) EPHIN rates (cts/cm^2-s-sr) at last comm.

Review late this afternoon. S/C: The gyro is still about the same. We had a very successful day yesterday on ASVT recertifying the swap procedures for Saturday - we loaded all the patches, and checked out some of the scripts. We'll continue today. Sabina sent some of the products to the west coast for review. We'll have the IRU swap CAP review today at 1-4 pm, #1165. We promoted GRETA 2.1 to ops, and it's working fine. GOT/IST: We are busy planning for the ASVT move. For this weekend's Ball shipment, we need to finish the shipping plan. We need a Ball person here to receive the equipment on Monday at 11 AM. We need a table with wheels here. There will be a telecon at noon tomorrow, a delta PSRR. For the west coast ASVT move, we need to reschedule the final PSRR from the 30th. The ship date is still 11 Aug, with arrival here 17 Aug. DATA: We are ready to process both IRU 1 and 2 data. SOT: Mike Juda reports on yesterday's radiation telecon: we think that 10 consecutive samples of EPHIN for RADMON is more reliable than 3. We'll make a patch request to update the appropriate K constant. We are trying to deal with the new access requirement for DSN station pass data. We talked about having Darrel put a file on lucky that we can all access. Ed emailed the DSN people for a second time today to find out about getting username/password access for individuals. Rob reports that the recent ACA dark current calibration shows about a 50% reduction in dark current from the original level before we started cooling the CCD.
