During the last 24 hours Chandra continued to observe GTO program targets. The next mission schedule loads were uplinked to the spacecraft at 4PM 9/25 and were operating as expected during the communications pass ending 4.30AM 9/26. Targets completed overnight included 1E1740.7-29942 with ACIS-S and HETG, and RCW 103 with ACIS-I.

Data from the ACIS calibration measurements before and after the last radiation belt passage are being analzsed for comparison with previous CTI and energy resolution measurements.
