During the last week Chandra completed the observing schedule as planned. A real-time procedure was executed on Apr 3 to perform a routine self-check of the Electrical Interface Assembly (EIA) Sequencer. Additional real-time procedures were executed on Apr 3 and Apr 5 to perform full-frame dark current readouts of the Aspect Camera Assembly CCD. Real-time procedures were also executed on Mar 31 and Apr 3 to dump one segment of OBC-A memory to test commanding from the Wayside Operation Control Center. A Chandra press release was issued on Apr 4 announcing the selection of the 2019 Einstein Fellows, who will conduct research related to physics of how the universe works. For details see: http://chandra.si.edu/press/19_releases/press_040419fellowships.html The schedule of targets for the next week is shown below and includes an observation of GRB190114C, which was accepted as a Target of Opportunity on Jan 29. |
