Operations CXO Status Report
Saturday 9/23/00 12.00pm EDT
During the last week, Chandra completed the observing schedule as planned.
The observatory passed through the seventh and eighth eclipses of the
Fall 2000 season with nominal power and thermal performance. A short
eclipse software patch was uplinked on 16 Sept in support of the final
(8th) eclipse. A software patch to revert to the default medium eclipse
state was uplinked on 18 Sept.
A real-time ACIS squeegee mode test was conducted at 2:40pm EDT on 15
Sept to test the squeegee approach with a full raw mode on the S0
chip. Initial assessment of the real-time data shows performance as
expected.
The LETG will be inserted during a real-time pass at 1am EDT on 25
Sept for the upcoming week of LETG observations.
