During the last week Chandra completed the observing schedule as planned. An aspect camera dark current calibration was performed from the on-board loads on Apr 14. Assessment of the data indicates nominal aspect camera performance and that the number of CCD warm pixels is increasing at the expected rate. A real-time procedure was used to monitor the momentum unload that was executed from the on-board command loads on Apr 14; the unload performance was nominal. The schedule of targets for the next week is shown below and includes an observation of SN 2011fh, which was accepted as a Target of Opportunity on Feb 24 and is coordinated with Spitzer, and an observation of PKS2155-304 coordinated with XMM-Newton and Suzaku |
