PLAN
----
Continue running load NOV0803B. Perform ACIS CTI measurements on
perigee egress.  Then do obsid 5246, an ACIS-S DDT observation of the
supernova 2003jd to test if it might have a X-ray afterglow from a
mis-aligned gamma-ray burst event.

NOTES/ISSUES/PROBLEMS
We are continuing to operate without a direct measure of soft protons.
Shanil reports:  "For my primary fluence monitor, I am using
the FP6p scaling while I use the P7 scaling in my "back-up" monitor. For
this orbit, both relations gave very similar numbers: 3.80e8 and 4.07e8
using the FP6p and P7 scaling, respectively. Thus, although P5 is
unreliable, it is good to see 2 different scalings give consistent
results."
Tomorrow is an SAO holiday, no SOT scheduled coverage.

From the 9am status meeting:
Nine supports over the weekend. DSS-54 did not provide any good data,
possible problem with their downlink.  But SSR is current. Four load
segments were uplinked, and on-board loads are good until 317:12:35.
Science observations resumed last Saturday morning, at 8:21am EST.
NOV1703 is in work, products expected late tomorrow.

Engineering noticed various effects during the solar storms, including
increased single and double bit rate errors in the SSR, a jump in the
clock correlation coefficient, and loss of lock on aspect
star. However, there does not appear to be any permanent effects. Rino
will look for a change in solar panel performance using the data from
the next eclipse season (Jan 04). 

Joy reported several quick looks, however the printer is down so no
hard copy.
