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

Of note this week, the Avionics and Software Validation Test set (ASVT) is now fully functional at the Wayside facility and has been approved for use in operational activities.

The schedule of targets for the next week is shown below and includes an observation of Swift J1728.9-3613, which is a follow-up to a Target of Opportunity accepted on Feb 6, and an observation of SXP 4.78 which was accepted as a Director's Discretionary Time Target of Opportunity on Jan 30.
