Operations CXO Status Report

Friday 8/04/00 12:30pm EDT


During the last week, Chandra completed the observing schedule as planned.

We executed the routine monthly procedure to update the onboard ephemeris coefficients.

Transmission grating observations of Comet c/LINEAR 1999, planned for next week, have been cancelled due to the spectacular breakup of the comet.

Testing of the new release of the Off-line system, version 9.0, has been completed. OFLS 9.0 is ready for installation as operating software.

The planned observations for the coming week are as follows:
