Operations CXO Status Report
Friday 24 Oct 2003, 12.00pm EDT
| Last week the observing schedule was halted due to high radiation
associated with solar flare activity. The loads were halted on Oct
24 at 9:34pm EDT through a ground command to execute the SI Safing
SCS 107. This ensured that the accumulated radiation dose for ACIS
remained below the allowed threshold. Loads will be re-started once
radiation levels reach an acceptable level.
The observing schedule for next week is shown below and includes
an observation of XTE J1810-197 that was accepted as a Target Of
Opportunity.
