Operations CXO Status Report
Friday 22 Aug 2003, 1.00pm EDT
During the last week Chandra completed the observing schedule as
planned.
A realtime procedure was completed on 18 Aug to recover data from
SSR-A after it became full and recording autonomously switched to
SSR-B. SSR-A filled following problems with a DSN pass and was
unloaded during a rescheduled pass. A small data loss was incurred and
recording was switched back to the A-side on Aug 19.
Of note last week was the shipping of the Avionics and Software
Validation Test Set (ASVT) from NGST Space Park to the OCC in
Cambridge. The equipment will arrive 25 Aug and be fully checked out
prior to resuming operational use. The ASVT has been operated remotely
by the Flight Operations Team since launch.
The observing schedule for next week is shown below and includes
TOO followup observations of XTE J1810-197 and Eta Car.
