Operations CXO Status Report
Friday 11 July 2003, 11.00am EDT
During the last week Chandra completed the observing schedule as
planned.
The IRU-1 gyro-1 current remained quiet and near 150 mA during the
last week. The plan for swapping to IRU-2 on Jul 19 remains on
schedule.
The targets recommended for acceptance from the Cycle-5 Peer review
were posted on July 11. For details see:

A Chandra image release of the active galaxy NGC 1068 was made on July 9.
This composite X-ray and optical image shows gas blowing away in a
high-speed wind from the vicinity of a central supermassive black
hole. For details see:
