Shift L2666. Start at 312:13:00 GMT = 08:00am 08 Nov EST End 10:00am 08 Nov SOT Lead DAS (Times will be given in GMT on day 312.) PLAN ---- Continue running load NOV0606B. Finish obsid 8460, an ACIS-I GTO observation of the young, dense, massive OB cluster NGC 6618 in M17 to study the relation of X-ray emission to the on-going star formation and young OB stars. Then do obsid 7915, an ACIS-I observation of the cluster of galaxies A 2744, which is undergoing a violent merger with Mach number >2.

EPH temp: 94.86 degF EPH 27V: 18.18 NOTES/ISSUES/PROBLEMS From the 9am status meeting: Three supports in the past day, no issues. One stored command sequence uplinked, on-board loads are good until 317:07:04. NOV1306A products were reviewed yesterday, NOV1306B is under email review currently and NOV1306C products are expected out later today. MUPS A and B thermistors both dropped out briefly. Not a current concern, but previously we have only seen one at a time dropping out. ACE solar protons remain at the background level. However, activity from the backside indicates that an active region will soon be rotating into view, and may result in some activity over the next couple of weeks.
