| During the last week Chandra completed the observing schedule as planned.
A real-time procedure was executed on Mar 12 to monitor the performance of the MUPS thrusters during a firing at an elevated starting valve temperature. This was the second in a planned series of performance demonstrations, which are hoped to allow for the relaxation of the constraint on starting valve temperatures when scheduling momentum dumps. Thruster performance during the dump was nominal. The schedule of targets for the next week is shown below and includes a DDT observation of the source 4U 1608-52, which was approved as a target of opportunity on Mar 8. |
