Operations CXO Status Report
Friday 1/4/02 9.00am EST
Happy New Year from the Chandra Team!
During the last two weeks the observing schedule was
interrupted once following a high radiation event at 1:30am EST
on Dec 26 that stopped the daily load and activated the science
instrument safing sequence (SCS 107). All actions were nominal
and radiation levels dropped sufficiently to allow the loads to
be restarted at 6pm on Dec 27. Observations of Beta Ceti,
G78.2+2.1, CYG X-1, A168 were impacted by the event and will be
rescheduled in a later load.
Preparations are complete for the Jan 6-10 American
Astronomical Society (AAS) meeting in Washington DC, where two
Chandra press releases are planned.
The schedule of observations for the coming week are shown
below and include an observation of XTE J1118+480 coordinated
with HST.
