During the last week Chandra completed the observing schedule as planned. A real-time procedure was executed on Feb 17 to patch the flight software in order to disable HRC input to the radiation monitor. Real-time procedures were also run on Feb 18 set up a radiation zone deadman timer and to re-enable the science instrument safing sequence (SCS 107). Additional real-time procedures were executed on Feb 18-21 to dump OBC-A and -B memory as a follow-up to the patch. The dump will be used to update the baseline memory images maintained on the ground. The schedule of targets for the next week is shown below and includes observations of SDSS J143016.05+230344.4, which is a follow-up to a Director's Discretionary Time Target of Opportunity accepted on Feb 7. |
