Shift L1708. Start at 085:13:00 GMT = 08:00am 25 Mar EST End 10:30am 25 Mar SOT Lead DAS (Times will be given in GMT on day 085.) PLAN ---- Continue running load MAR2204B. Finish obsid 5184, ACIS-I observation of Alpha Lac as part of a snapshot program observing intermediate mass young stars in associations of very young stars. Then manuever for obsid 4776, ACIS-S observation of F1320-4207, an H-alpha selected AGN, to measure the local X-ray luminosity function of AGN. Then manuever to obsid 4890, an ACIS-S observation of PKS 2123-463 as part of an X-ray survey of radio jets. Then two HRC calibration observations of G21.5-09.

ALSO: email with attachments, with extensive *.html files or capitalizations, or phrases like "click here" will be trapped by the HEAD division spam filter. The latter is again without warning, and although those files go to a spam mailbox many people don't look at that. (Since that is the purpose of having a spam filter.) So if you really want email to get to the SOT, you can change the file names such as *.zip to be *.abc, with a note to the reader to change the name back. Also, avoid "pop-up" logos such as the NGST logo. *.doc and *.pdf attachments per se do not seem to be a problem. But avoid using all capitals or extensive *.html commands. From the 9am status meeting: Three supports over the past day, no issues, SSR dumps are current. On-board loads are good until 088:10:26. One more segment will be uplinked at the next pass to complete the MAR2204B load. Review of MAR2904A products yesterday revealed some problems. These are fixed and MAR2904B products are out for email review by COB today. Safe mode recovery simulation debrief was held yesterday. Notes and actions expected out today. FOT/space park held a tagup meeting yesterday to plan the re-compilation of OBC source code. The objective is to have an exact image of the on-board code stored on the ground, so that changes can be identified. Since we have made some changes to on-board code, the issue is that the on-board compiled image will not necessarily be identical to the ground image even for areas of source code that were not changed. This activity will proceed at a low level over the next many months. A meeting to plan testing for SOT products needed to support 10.3 is scheduled for 1pm, Monday, March 29, in the action room. (NOTE: a telecon number needs to be defined for this.)
