- 0 SCS's uplinked, Good through: 2005:128:05:15:02.000
- 4 dumps completed, data is current


MP:

- MAY09A products signed off.

Eng:

- All OK


Radiation:

- Current P3 levels are still low ( < 100) but have risen since yesterday,
  due to the the long duration C flare on May 2-3. Rise has stopped.

- From Today's Space Weather:

  3-day Solar-Geophysical Forecast issued May 4 at 22:00 UTC
  Solar Activity Forecast: Solar activity is expected to be mostly very 
  low to low with a small chance of an M-class flare. 
  Regions 756 and 758 are expected to be the source of these flares.

  Geophysical Activity Forecast: The geomagnetic field is expected to be quiet to unsettled.
   
  From the Solar Terrestial Activity Report:

  Region 10758 developed many new spots and has a rather messy magnetic field layout. 
  An M class flare could cause an ejection of a large filament running through the region. 
  Flares: C1.1 at 14:15 and C1.2 at 22:46 UTC.

  The geomagnetic field is expected be quiet to unsettled on May 5-8 
  becoming unsettled to major storm on May 9-10 due to a high speed stream from CH163. 

GOT:

- OK

IST:

- Natural gas to emergency generator will be shut off Saturday.
- Electrical work will be done in computer room
