| Last week the observing schedule was halted due to high radiation associated with solar flare activity. The loads were halted on Oct 24 at 9:34pm EDT through a ground command to execute the SI Safing SCS 107. This ensured that the accumulated radiation dose for ACIS remained below the allowed threshold. Loads will be re-started once radiation levels reach an acceptable level.
The observing schedule for next week is shown below and includes an observation of XTE J1810-197 that was accepted as a Target Of Opportunity. |
