| Last week the observing schedule was re-planned to include a Target Of Opportunity observation of the dwarf nova SS Cygni that is currently entering an outburst state. The observation was completed successfully following the insertion of the LETG during a real-time pass on Jan 17. Planned observations of IC1727, A262 and NGC266 were impacted by the TOO and will be rescheduled.
Other real-time procedures last week included a check of the CPE warm start count that showed the value remained at 1. Of note last week was the conduct of a training simulation for the full operation team. The simulation was run over 2 days using the spacecraft hardware simulator as the source of data. The team had no prior knowledge of the simulated problem (a failed gyro leading to safemode) and responded with a correct analysis, problem identification and plan for recovery to science operations. The exercise also included several simulated ground system problems. The planned observations for the coming week are shown below and include the retraction of the LETG on Jan 24. |
