Shift L867. Start at 339:13:00 GMT = 08:00am 05 Dec EST End 12:00 noon 05 Dec SOT Lead DAS (Times will be given in GMT on day 339.) PLAN ---- Continue running load DEC0401B. Performing a series of 11 calibration observations, with E0102-72 at various places on ACIS-I and ACIS-S. This supernova remnant has low energy lines, well known from Chandra HETG observations, which can be used to calibrate ACIS below 1 keV. Next Comms: 339:1130 to 1330 339:2015 to 2215 340:0245 to 0345 340:1300 to 1400 340:2020 to 2205 341:0500 to 0600 341:1400 to 1500 342:0050 to 0150 342:0750 to 0850 342:1530 to 1630 343:0200 to 0300 343:1015 to 1115 343:1945 to 2045 Orbital events: 2001:339:18:05:54.482 322 ORBIT APOGEE 2001:341:01:51:06.084 322 ORBIT PERIGEE 2001:342:09:34:21.745 323 ORBIT APOGEE 2001:343:17:18:29.578 323 ORBIT PERIGEE 2001:345:01:02:06.663 324 ORBIT APOGEE 2001:346:08:45:35.747 324 ORBIT PERIGEE 2001:347:16:29:41.033 325 ORBIT APOGEE 2001:349:00:13:59.971 325 ORBIT PERIGEE 2001:350:07:57:35.026 326 ORBIT APOGEE EVENTS ------ In comm at start of shift. 11:55 Enter maneuver mode, end pointing at PHL 1811 11:59 Change OBSID from 2957 to 2835 12:23 In normal pointing mode for OBSID 2835 Status at LOS, 339:13:28, was as follows: PCAD MODE = NPNT CONTROL LAW FLAG = NPNT Stars: = 5 FIDS = 3 RA = 16.144 deg Dec = -72.126 deg ROLL = 308.629 deg Format = 2 OBSID = 2835 E0102-72 Calibration SIM FA = -535 SIM TSC = 92903 (ACIS-I) HETG = OUT (79.46 deg) LETG = OUT (77.96 deg) HRC-S HV is ON EPHIN Geom = LARG E1300 = 0.0 LT 10.0 (RADMON P4GM = 0.1 LT 300. Triggers) P41GM = 0.0 LT 8.47 A-leak = 1.0200 mu-a B-leak = 0.5920 mu-a Descending through 136020 km. ACIS focal plane temperature -119.9. NOTES/ISSUES/PROBLEMS From the 9am status meeting: 3 supports, Madrid-66 had problems, didn't finish playback. Needed an external bit synch to lock up telemetry at their ground station. Data in-house current to 339:0233. On-board loads good until 342:0920. DEC1001 has been rescheduled. B products will be out soon this morning for an email review today. Star catalogs will need rebuild, PCAD needs checking again, load review tomorrow. CAP to patch the B-side momentum limits is planned to be run this afternoon. Star working group meeting is cancelled this week.
