During the last week the observing schedule was replanned to include an observation of GRO J1655-40 that was approved as a fast turn-around Target Of Opportunity (TOO) on mar 10. Loads were replanned and uplinked on Mar 12. An observation of cl1312+3900 was impacted by the TOO and will be rescheduled for a later load.

A real-time procedure was completed on Mar 15 to update the on-board ephemeris.

Of note last week was the Chandra Cycle 7 proposal deadline at 6pm EST on March 15. A total of 736 GO proposals were received and the submission process proceeded smoothly.

The schedule of targets for the next week is shown below.
