A routine real-time procedure was completed on Dec 11 to update the on-board the Ephemeris.

Work is nearing completion on the 2-week mission schedule to cover the holiday period from Dec 24 to Jan 6, 2002.

Of note last week was the release of the CIAO 2.2.1 analysis software together with CALDB 2.10, and the release of a new web form for data search and retrieval. For details, see http://cxc.harvard.edu.
