Notes from 9am meeting ---------------------- Ops: In Radiation Zone YES (218/08:52z - 220/21:02z) Current SI Grating NONE Observation ID None, Finished 58834 Target None, Finished Gravity Gradient Altitude 34.1 kkm Desc Radmon Disable 222/21:35z Next Radiation Zone 222/23:49z to 223/12:08z - ACA dark current calibration last night was nominal from an operations perspective. All VC2 data are in house. Data to be analyzed shortly. MP: - AUG1406A products are out for review today at 2pm. Eng: - EIA self-test CAP will be run during the 0640-0840 EDT pass tomorrow. Radiation: - Sunspot region 670 is emerging from the Eastern limb of the sun, causing a slight increase in the baseline X-ray flux level. It is not expected to produce significant flare activity. Soft proton rates are still slightly unsettled but expected to subside with the next few days. - Solar Activity Forecast: Solar activity is expected to be very low. - Geophysical Activity Forecast: The geomagnetic field is expected to continue to be quiet to active with minor storm periods possible at higher latitudes on 08 August. On 09 and 10 August, conditions are expected to be quiet to unsettled. Quicklooks ---------- 6421 M17 ACIS-I NONE OK 7372 NGC 720 ACIS-S NONE OK 6415 IRAS 05436-..
