Shift L2023. Start at 034:13:00 GMT = 08:00am 03 Feb EST End 10:00am 03 Feb SOT Lead DAS (Times will be given in GMT on day 034.) PLAN ---- Continue running load JAN3105B. Do obsid 4741, an ACIS-S observation of NGC4278 to test for correlation of luminous X-ray binaries with the globular cluster specific frequency. Then obsid 5613, an ACIS-S observation of the z>5.8 quasar SDSS J0840+5624. Then obsids 5898 and 5900 close out the orbit with short snapshot observations of X-ray bright early-type galaxies NGC2340 and NGC2329. No Comm this shift. Next Comms: 034:2115 to 2215 035:0140 to 0240 035:1500 to 1600 035:2310 to 0010 036:0345 to 0445 036:1320 to 1420 036:2050 to 2150 037:0155 to 0255 037:1100 to 1200 037:2120 to 2220 Orbital events: 2005:034:07:47:55.273 759 EAPOGEE ORBIT APOGEE 2005:035:15:31:46.589 759 EPERIGEE ORBIT PERIGEE 2005:036:23:15:00.565 760 EAPOGEE ORBIT APOGEE 2005:038:06:58:30.667 760 EPERIGEE ORBIT PERIGEE 2005:039:14:42:33.373 761 EAPOGEE ORBIT APOGEE 2005:040:22:25:27.830 761 EPERIGEE ORBIT PERIGEE EVENTS ------ Status at LOS, 034:11:58, was as follows: PCAD MODE = NMAN CONTROL LAW FLAG = NPNT Stars: = 0 FIDS = 0 RA = 179.729 deg Dec = 24.317 deg ROLL = 92.470 deg Format = 2 OBSID = 4741 slewing to NGC 4278 SIM FA = -535 SIM TSC = 75624 (ACIS-S) DITHER = ENAB HETG = OUT (79.09 deg) LETG = OUT (77.59 deg) HRC-S HV is ON EPHIN Geom = SMAL E150 = 115.9 E300 = 1.0 E1300 = 0.0 LT 10.0 (RADMON P4GM = 0.0 LT 300.

NOTES/ISSUES/PROBLEMS Solar region 720, responsible for the large flares and SCS 107 two weeks ago, will be rotating to the visible disk starting Saturday Feb 5. Increased solar activity may then occur. ACIS learned that the rad zone entry commanding needs to be at the end of any week which ends in a rad zone entry. A check for this will be developed for the acis-backstop script to alert the reviewer. From the 9am status meeting: Three 34m supports over the past day, no issues. Last segment of the JAN3105B loads was uplinked; on-board loads good until 038:00:55 FEB0705A products were reviewed yesterday. Revised products expected out late this morning for an email review today. TM issue was looked into and attributed to on-board corruption. This has been seen once before on this MSID. Would not have any operational impact. An anomaly report will be opened. EHS password change will take place after the comm pass which ends at 1600 tomorrow. Flight Director's CCB at 2pm today, 405-244-5060, passcode 1159# See: http://occ-cfa.cfa.harvard.edu/FDB/Agenda/Items.htm Quick look data: OBSID Target Time Comment ----- ------ -------------- ------- 5957 HZ43 033:07:49 HRC-S LETG looks good 5652 SDSS J011651.54-1034 033:16:00 ACIS-S NONE looks good Betelgeuse HRC calibrations are apparently unaffected by the fid light issue. No apparent signal from Betelgeuse (which is good!). ------------------------------------------------------- Dan Schwartz, MS #3 das@head-cfa.harvard.edu phone: (617)495-7232 FAX: (617)495-7356 cell phone: (617)512-5627 pager: 877-693-7198 PIN 693-7198 or e-mail 6937198@archwireless.net -------------------------------------------------------
