| During the last week, Chandra completed the observing schedule as planned.
Preparations are complete for uplinking an update to on-board gyro scale-factor and alignment matrix. The procedure will be run on July 16 during a real-time pass and be followed by a series of test maneuvers run from the daily load. A Chandra image release of the interacting pair of galaxies known as the Whirlpool galaxy (M51) was made on 1 July. For details see: http://chandra.harvard.edu/photo/2002/0158/index.html. Of note last week was the visit by members of the Hubble Space Telescope operations and Institute team to discuss Chandra and Hubble operations. The observing schedule for the next week is shown below and includes an observation of IM Peg coordinated with RXTE. |
