Operations CXO Status Report

Sunday 9/26/99 9:00am EST

During the last 24 hours Chandra continued to observe GTO program targets. The next mission schedule loads were uplinked to the spacecraft at 4PM 9/25 and were operating as expected during the communications pass ending 4.30AM 9/26. Targets completed overnight included 1E1740.7-29942 with ACIS-S and HETG, and RCW 103 with ACIS-I.

Data from the ACIS calibration measurements before and after the last radiation belt passage are being analzsed for comparison with previous CTI and energy resolution measurements.

The spacecraft systems continued to operate nominally.
