During the last week Chandra completed the observing schedule as planned. On Jan 11 a real-time procedure was executed to patch the EPS Current Monitor Threshold to a new lower value which is consistent with the reconfiguration of the battery reconditioning resistors for Battery 3 performed Jan 4. A related CAP was run to clear the EPS fault alarm induced by the Jan 4 procedure. Additional real-time procedures were executed on Jan 12-13 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. Another real-time procedure was executed on Jan 15 to command ACIS to dump the flight software from EEPROM. This is part of preparations for the move to the new OCC. The schedule of targets for the next week is shown below and includes an observation of SN2018bsz, which is a follow-up to a Target of Opportunity accepted on May 31. |
