Operations CXO Status Report
Friday 1 November 2002, 7.00am EST
During the last week Chandra completed the observing schedule as
planned.
Approval was given for the configuration for passage of the 2002
Leonids meteor shower on Nov 19. The shower will be double peaked and
based on the predicted flux levels Chandra will be pointed in the
anti-radiant direction and not performing science observations. The
solar arrays with be offset by 2 degrees to minimize the possibility
of damage to them. Restrictions on the pointing direction will be
applied during for at least 5 hours prior to and 5 hours following the
peaks of the shower.
The observing schedule for next week is shown below and includes and a
TOO observation of the target V4743 Sgr.
