Operations CXO Status Report

Friday 3 March 2017 9.00am EST

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

A real-time procedure was executed on Mar 1 to perform a routine self-check of the Electrical Interface Assembly (EIA) Sequencer.

A Chandra press release was issued on Feb 24 to commemorate the 30th anniversary of the discovery of Supernova 1987A. New images, time-lapse movies, and a data-based animation allow astronomers and the public to explore SN 1987A in new and exciting ways. These combine data from Chandra, HST, and ALMA, and include recent observations that show the supernova shock wave is moving beyond the dense ring of gas produced late in the life of the pre-supernova star. For details see: http://chandra.harvard.edu/press/17_releases/press_022417.html

The schedule of targets for the next week is shown below.
