Operations CXO Status Report
Friday 25 April 2003, 9.00am EDT
During the last week Chandra completed the observing schedule as planned.
The IRU-1 gyro-1 current remained at ~150mA (its yellow limit)
with
occasional noisy behavior. The procedure and products to perform
a
swap to IRU-2 were approved last week by the Flight Director Board
and are available in the event they are needed.
A Chandra image release of the Centaurus A Jet was made on 23 April.
The composite Chandra and VLA radio image shows the inner 4,000 light
years of the magnetized jet. For details see: http://chandra.harvard.edu/photo/2003/cenajet/index.html
The observing schedule for next week is shown below.
