During the last week the observing schedule was replanned to incorporate an observation of AT2019wxt, which was accepted as a Target of Opportunity on Mar 10. Loads for the replanned schedule were uplinked on Mar 12. Scheduled observations of SPT-CLJ2323-5753, Spiderweb, A1240, and H1821_643 were impacted by the replan and will be rescheduled in a future week. A real-time procedure was executed on Mar 13 to uplink a flight software patch of the on-board computer (OBC) that improves the Aspect Camera ability to reacquire a guide star when that tracking slot has been captured by a nearby hot pixel. The Chandra Cycle 22 deadline is moved to Apr 2 6PM EDT for all proposers. This is to help mitigate the effects that the COVID-19 virus is having on the global Chandra community. The schedule of targets for the next week is shown below and includes an observation of PKS 1413+135, which is a follow-up to a Director's Discretionary Time Target of Opportunity which was accepted on Oct 18. |
