Operations CXO Status Report

Friday 12/14/01 8.30am EST

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

A routine real-time procedure was completed on Dec 11 to update the on-board the Ephemeris.

Work is nearing completion on the 2-week mission schedule to cover the holiday period from Dec 24 to Jan 6, 2002.

Of note last week was the release of the CIAO 2.2.1 analysis software together with CALDB 2.10, and the release of a new web form for data search and retrieval. For details, see http://cxc.harvard.edu.

The schedule of observations for the coming week is shown below and includes highly time constrained observations of the targets PHL 1811 and GX 301-2.
