Operations CXO Status Report
Friday 29 March 2002, 1.30pm EST
During the last week the observing schedule was replanned to include an observation of the Gamma Ray Burster GRB020321 that was accepted as a Target Of Opportunity (TOO) on 24 March. Observation of FTM0906+4952 and HS 0848+1119 were impacted by the TOO and will be rescheduled in a later load.
Real-time procedures were completed nominally on 23 March to re-position the HRC door to its closed position and on 28 March to uplink the rebuilt loads for the TOO.
A press release was issued on March 28 announcing the detection with Chandra of the three most distant quasars, located some 13 billion lights years away. For details see: http://chandra.harvard.edu/press/02_releases/press_032802.html
The observing schedule for the next week is shown below and includes a pair of constrained observations of RX J1258+23.
