Operations CXO Status Report

Friday 9 October 2020 9.00am EDT

During the last week the observing schedule was replanned to incorporate an observation of GRB201006A, which was accepted as a Target of Opportunity on Oct 7. Loads for the replanned schedule were uplinked on Oct 9. Scheduled observations of Westerlund1 and Orion Nebula Cluster were impacted by the replan and will be rescheduled in a future week.

Real-time procedures were executed on Oct 7 to perform a routine self-check of the Electrical Interface Assembly (EIA) Sequencer and to perform a diagnostic dump of the Control Processing Electronics (CPE).

Real-time procedures were executed during each ground contact to reset the DSN Outage Dead Man Load.

The schedule of targets for the next week, with a planned start of Oct 12, is still in work.





All spacecraft subsystems continued to support nominal operations.
