| During the last week, Chandra completed the observing schedule as planned.
A real-time procedure was conducted on 25 Jan at 5.30am EST to retract the LETG. Telemetry indicated a nominal retraction. Of note this week was the completion of plans for the upcoming 2001 Spring Earth eclipse season. The 11-eclipse season will occur between 11 Feb and 9 Mar and requires 4 software patches that have been approved for uplink. The planned observations for the coming week are shown below and include calibration observations of the UV-bright star Vega with all four imaging detectors. These observations will provide data to monitor the UV transmission of the instrument filters. |
