Operations CXO Status Report

Friday 9/14/01 10.00am EDT

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

A real-time procedure was completed on Sep 12 to update the on-board ephemeris.

The schedule of observations for the coming week is shown below and includes a series of 9 calibration observations of the dark moon and 4 observations of the Comet 19P/Borrelly. The observation of EV Lac is coordinated with the Hubble Space Telescope and the Very Large Array.
