Operations CXO Status Report

Friday 8 December 2000 7.30am EST

During the last week, Chandra completed the observing schedule as planned. Real-time procedures were completed during the week to insert the LETG for a series of planned observations on Dec 5, and to retract the LETG on Dec 7. Both grating motions were nominal. In addition, a check of the CPE warm start count was made on dec 5 that showed the value remained at 1. The planned observations for the coming week are as follows:
