| During the last week the radiation environment recovered enough
following the high-radiation event of Jan 7 to resume operations. A
replanned schedule for resuming science observations was uplinked on
Jan 10 with 242.6ks of science loss. The replanned schedule is shown below and includes an observation of XSS J12270-4859, which was accepted as a Director's Discretionary Time TOO on Dec 16 and had been impacted by the schedule interruption. Other impacted observations will be rescheduled in future weeks. |

Since resumption Chandra has completed the observing schedule as planned.
A Chandra press release was issued on Jan 13 as a NASA press release
describing observations of PSR B1509-58 and the COSMOS field by NASA's
Nuclear Spectroscopic Telescope Array, or NuSTAR. Combining NuSTAR's
higher-energy X-ray images with Chandra data provides a unique view of
these well-studied objects. For details see:
