| During the last week the observing schedule was replanned to include a
30 Ks observation of the GRB source SBR 080503 that was accepted as a
fast turn-around Target Of Opportunity (TOO) on May 5. Loads were replanned and uplinked on May 6. A portion of an observation of the 1.5 degree field was impacted by the TOO and will be rescheduled in a future mission load.
A real-time procedure was executed on May 6 to perform a routine self-check of the Electrical Interface Assembly (EIA) Sequencer. The schedule of targets for the next week is shown below and consists largely of a series of observations aimed at categorizing the many faint X-ray sources in the Galactic Bulge. In addition, the schedule contains observations of M87 coordinated with Hubble and of PKS 2155-305 coordinated with XMM-Newton and Suzaku. |
