ACIS Activities

- First light with ACIS !!!!!!!!!

Spacecraft Activities

- We opened the HRMA Sunshade Door !!!
- PCAD and ACA did several maneuvers to check out the acquistion of
guide stars


Day 224
17:57  ordnance enabled
17:59  positive verification that sunshade door is open !!!!
18:04  change to FMT 2, pressure is 6e-6 Torr,  initial pointing
direction is RA = 79.93 (5h 19m 43.2s) DEC = -60.73.
22:02  Stop science, this stops the science run with OBSID 62569 which was
left running from the HRMA FCM measurement

FP Temp = -90 C, altitude is ~ 130,000 km

OBSID 62568
224:19:08	Start science
224:22:02	Stop  science

we think we are at RA = 95.04, DEC = -64.4.  There is a fairly bright
source (0.25 c/s) about 4 arcminutes off-axis.

OBSID 62567
224:23:00	Start science
224:23:50	Stop Science

We start this run but the ACA and PCAD folks are very slow gettin
their manuever going, so we stop and restart our run so that our
biases get done during the slew.

OBSID 62695
224:23:55	Start science
225:01:42	Stop science

We think we should be pointing at the galaxy IRAS Z06229-6434 buuuuut,
the source is actually outside the FOV.  

OBSID 62566
225:01:44	Start science

This is an ACA nudge mode test.  The above mentioned source is
actually moved through the FOV for part of the ACIS data acquistion.
