************ CTI trend *************

Average of ACIS-I CCDs (MnKa) slope: 2.481e-8 (CTI/day) Detrended slope 1.374e-8 (CTI/day)

*********** ACIS Focal Temperature ********

For this period, there were 2 peaks.
       Day (DOY)       Temp (C)        Width (DAY)
        260.3           -111.5          0.48
        262.9           -111.3          0.37

************** MTA Problem Tracking *****************

No new or reopened problem was reported in this period. Following msids are still coming (All eclipse related except AWD3TQI)
EB2CI, EB1CI, EB3CI, AOVAMPWR, ESAPYI, AWD3TQI, AOFUNLST

************** SIM Movement ************

7 TSC moves this period average time/step 0.00139 s nominal Max Pulse Width Modulation for each move see SIM monitoring

************* Telemetry ***********

Violation related to OTG moves and eclipse operations.
9/15, battery msids (EB1DIC, EOEB1CIC, EOEB2CIC, EOEB3CIC) showed a large oscillation into red violations.
9/18, many of oba msids (esp. OBA cone/OBA fwd bulkhead) registered a sharp peak (and a red or yellow violation).
Spacecraft electronics, OOBAPWR (OBA COMPUTED TOTAL POWER) also showed a huge spike to 800 level (red upper limits: 300.0, usually around 0-200) ELBI (LOAD BUS CURRENT) showed a similar spike.
9/20, Grating voltages 4MP5AV,4MP5BV,4MP28AV, and 4MP28BV displayed a large spike. Nominally, they are all zeros (current settings), but jumped to the other setting limits (5V, 5V, 28V, 28V, respectively).

************ Trending *************

Spacecraft Electronics A, CUSOA28V (+28V USO A) jumped from steady 23.85 to steady 24.5 for the last month or so. We need to see if this continnues now that eclipses are done.

*********** Recent Observations ************

The ACA Problem is in the specified handling of guide star positional errors. This issue in not signifcant to the final product and so is being worked at low priority.
