From Chandra X-ray Observatory Report 10/29/11 ------------------------------------------------ The observing schedule was again halted at 12:58am EDT on Oct 26 by what was likely a single event upset (SEU) in the telemetry processor of the Command and Telemetry Unit, causing a reset of its timing signals and resets of several spacecraft components. An elevated temperature of the aspect camera CCD due to the resets led to its losing track of stars resulting in the spacecraft entering normal-sun mode. All safing actions were nominal. Recovery procedures were successfully executed Oct 26-27. The tasks included: performing diagnostic dumps of the Control Processing Electronics (CPE), re-synching the on-board computer clocks, re-loading software patches to the aspect camera electronics, to the science instrument module electronics, and to the EPHIN Input/Output unit, resetting the aspect camera CCD temperature, patching the ephemeris-time-offset K-constant in the flight software, recovering to Normal-Point Mode, updating the on-board ephemeris, and performing a momentum dump. From SOT Shift Report 10/26/11 ------------------------------ Solar storm is subsiding and ACE rates are still decreasing. Solar Activity Forecast: Solar activity is expected to be low with a slight chance for M-class activity all three days (26 - 28 October). Regions 1324 (N12W26) and 1330 (N08E29) are the most likely to produce moderate level activity.
