| Last week the observing schedule was halted due to high radiation associated with solar flare activity. The loads were halted on Nov 21 at 8:24pm EST 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 were restarted at 7:46pm EST on Nov 23. Observations of CL0853+5759, NGC 1313 X-2, NGC 2787 and PKS2155-304 (total 100.4 Ks) were impacted by the event and will be rescheduled in a later load.
The observing schedule for the next week is shown below. |
