Operations CXO Status Report

Friday 3 March 2006 9.00am EST

During the last week Chandra completed the observing schedule as planned.

During this week the EPHIN 27 rail voltage returned to its nominal range following an extended period at low levels due to high operating temperatures resulting from target observing attitudes. The behavior was expected based on an increase in the allowed maximum temperature for the device, and no performance impacts were observed.

The schedule of targets for next week is shown below and includes a follow-up observation of the Target of Opportunity GRB 060218.
