SOT Shift Report (2024/05/10)
-----------------------------
Solar activity is likely to be high on days one, two, and three (10 May, 11
May, 12 May). A severe geomagnetic storm is in forecast for the weekend.
The ACE P3 rates are currently around 15,000, and the main shock impact is
expected late tonight or early tomorrow, followed by additional impacts.
AR 3664 produced two more strong flares over the last 24 hours, X1 and X3.9,
and they also may have Earth-directed CME components. The chance for X-class
flares remains at 60% over the weekend.

Yellow Alert Email (2024/05/10 12:32pm)
---------------------------------------
Rapidly rising radiation rates have required safing of the science
instruments at the 11:35 comm this morning instead of at the 4PM comm as
was earlier anticipated.

CAP 593A was run to initiate safing, and SCS 107 began running at
15:37:02Z. As we are not in eclipse season, CAP 893B was run to disable
SCS 29 (Eclipse load control), and the SOP_SAFE_SAFING_ACTIONS procedure
executed. ACIS and HRC were verified to be in a safe state.

Yellow Alert Email (2024/05/12 1:18 pm)
---------------------------------------
Following discussion among MTA, FOTMP, and FDs, we are planning as follows for the coming day:
(1)  In view of further predicted CME arrivals today and uncertainties extending into tomorrow,
we will hold off on circulating and reviewing the MAY1324C loads.
(2)  We will have a community discussion on planning the next steps toward resuming science observations
immediately following the 9AM OCC tagup, staying on google Meet 1159


Radiation Telecon Plan (2024/05/13 9:13 am)
-------------------------------------------
Despite a long-duration M-class flare in the last few hours, the overall radiation situation looks good for a science restart at this time. There are no further incoming CME's and 3664 is no longer geoeffective.

We are targeting the 11pm DSS-65 (day135 0300z) pass this evening for uplink; expect load products out today.
