A total of 7 C and 2 M class events were recorded on January 9. Region 9773 produced
an M1.6/1F flare at 11:30 and a major M9.5/2B flare at 18:01 UTC. The absence of
LASCO and SOHO images since just after noon on January 9 makes it difficult to tell if
there was a CME associated with the major flare. There were no type II or IV radio
sweeps, increasing the possibility that there was no significant CME.


Jan 11, 2002 Shift Report
-------------------------
The onboard load (JAN0702D) was stopped last night by a commanded SCS107 run
(at approximately 011:0317).  This was due to high solar radiation conditions, which
had been discussed in a telecon prior to stoppage. At the time of stoppage we were 
performing the first XTE J1118 observation (obsid 2751). The current S/C attitude
is good until 012:2200 UTC. 

The current recovery plan is to try to restart on day 12 at about 0426 UTC, to
pickup the second coordinated XTE J1118 observation with HST simultaneity
(obsid 3422) at its originally scheduled time.

The ACE soft proton flux peaked at over 40,000 last night (about 011:0000) and has
slowly been decreasing since that time. It is about 24,000 at 0800 LOCAL. Hard proton
levels are also high and slowly decreasing, but still below the EPHIN trips. 

 ACE and GOES rates of interest are all headed monotonically downward at
this time.  ACE EPAM P3 is currently around 17,000, down from 24,000
this morning.  EPHIN P4GM is at about 1/5 of the trigger level of 300,
so the outlook is good for the startup of the replan load at approximately
2002:012:04:20. Total orbital fluence for this orbit is expected to
below 2E9 (pure ACE integration).
