Operations CXO Status Report
Friday 26 Dec 2003, 9.00am EST
The next report is planned for January 9 following the holiday.
A Happy Holiday and New Year to everyone from the entire Chandra Team!
During the last week the observing schedule was replanned to include
an observation of the GRB source GRB031220 that was accepted as a
3 day turn-around Target Of Opportunity (TOO) on 22 Dec. Loads were
replanned and uplinked on Dec 24 for the observation on Dec 25. Observations
of HR 5392, MACS911.2+1746 and Mrk 1210 were impacted by the TOO and
will be rescheduled for a later load.
A Chandra image release was
issued on Dec 19 that shows new details of the shell of supernova
remnant N63A, located in the Large Magellanic Cloud. For details see: http://chandra.harvard.edu/photo/2003/n63a/
The mission planning team
completed work on the 2-week schedule to span the holiday period.
The schedule is shown below and includes observations of M74 coordinated
with HST and of the Earth.. |
