Operations CXO Status Report
Friday 22 November 2002, 10.00am EST
During the last week Chandra completed the observing schedule as
planned.
Chandra passed through the 2002 Leonid meteor shower on Nov 19 without
incident. All actions including pointing to the anti-radiant and
off-pointing the solar arrays by 2 degrees executed nominally from the
daily load. Tht event was monitored in real-time by the Operations
Team.
A real-time procedure was completed on November 14 to update the
on-board ephemeris.
A Chandra press release was issued on Nov 19 as a NASA HQ Space
Science update. The SSU described observations that for the first time
provide proof of two supermassive black holes existing together in the
same galaxy. For details see:

The observing schedule for next week is shown below and includes a
series of calibration observations of PKS2155-304 coordinated with
XMM-Newton and an observation of M31 coordinated with the Hubble Space
Telescope.
