Shift L680. Start at 152:12:00 GMT = 08:00am 01 Jun EDT End 12:00 noon 01 Jun SOT Lead DAS (Times will be given in GMT on day 152.) PLAN ---- Continue running load MAY2801B. Do ACIS-I observations of MACS J1149.5+2223, obsid 1656, and MACS J1423.8+2404, obsid 1657, as part of a study of clusters of galaxies to determine q0 and H0. Then several very short observations prior to perigee: Obsid 2167, ACIS-I observation of 2MASSJ145331+1353; and ACIS-S observations of the recurrent nova CI AQL, obsid 2465 and of the radio jet in NGC 266, obsid 1610.

NOTES/ISSUES/PROBLEMS From the 9am status meeting: All dumps current. The remainder of MAY2801B load has been uplinked and onboard loads are good through 155:01:02. OFLS 9.2 has been brought up on the 3rd string, and is ready to start test runs. A meeting yesterday agreed on the momentum dumping changes, to go into 9.2a. There are known modifications requiring 9.2b, and any issues found in further testing of 9.2 will also be planned for a 9.2b patch. The ASVT testing of the new OTG operation command sequence definitions had an error/problem with a move. The error log needs analysis and the problem to be debugged, corrected, and re-tested. This means that the new CSD will NOT be available for use in the JUN1101 load. In turn, this means we will need to obtain real time coverage from DSN for the planned calibration observations of 3c273, which use both HETG and LETG. (HETG observations can be done with current CSD.) These observations are coordinated with XMM so the window is tightly constrained. DSN time for those slots is currently allocated to other users, so FOT/MP is working to see if they can be changed.
