Sep 14, 2000 Shift Report
--------------------------
On day 2000:257 (9-14-2000), the onboard radiation monitor tripped and 
performed a safing action (SCS #107) which halted the daily loads and 
stopped observations.  The trip occurred during the maneuver to OBSID #648, 
which was to be the first out of the radiation zone.  The maneuver and 
subsequent star acquisition completed successfully at the attitude for 
OBSID #648.  That attitude is OK until 260:03:50:22, when the earth comes 
within 20 deg. of the ACA boresight.  The OBC error log had 13 errors from 
the event: 4 trips of the S/C momentum monitor associated with moving the 
SIM twice and 9 Invalid SCS transitions, all of which are expected for an 
SCS #107 run.

Radiation levels continue HIGH but are declining slowly.  Fluence still low
primarily due to the presence of HETG.  ACE high energy protons are 
exhibiting a slow downward trend, as is EPHIN P4GM.  The ACE low energy
proton rates continue to rise slowly.

Sep 15, 2000 Shift Report
-------------------------
- Radiation levels were high all day, increasing to a peak FLUX of about
  70,000 in proton channel, which occurred last night after the 8:45pm
  pass had ended. EPHIN rates were also high, but decreasing.
- Decision was made last night not to call telecon, since dose (including
  HETG attenuation factor) was considered acceptable (within budget limits). 
- Radiation levels had started to decrease prior to the 5:00am pass, so
  no action was needed. Levels are still slowly dropping. We expect a dose
  for this orbit of under 1e+9.
