During the last week the Chandra Operations team completed the procedures and on-board software updates to place Chandra into a new gyroscope configuration with the gyroscope that caused the Oct 10 safe mode in reserve. The procedures were carried out Oct 19. Additional real-time procedures were executed on Oct 20 to dump OBC-A and -B memory as a follow-up to the software updates. The dump will be used to update the baseline memory images maintained on the ground. Science observations resumed Oct 22. A sequence of maneuvers was carried out Oct 25-26 to provide calibration data required to update the spacecraft knowledge of the active gyros. The schedule of targets for the next week is still in work at this time. |
All spacecraft subsystems continued to support nominal operations.
