| During the last week Chandra completed the observing schedule as planned.
Real-time procedures were executed on Nov 1 in preparation for the start of the 2010 summer eclipse season: one to activate SCS 29 and one to dump and clear the EPS glitch counters. Chandra passed through the first and second eclipses of the season on Nov 2 and 5 respectively, with nominal power and thermal performance. A second real-time procedure was executed on Nov 3 to perform a routine self-check of the Electrical Interface Assembly (EIA) Sequencer. A third real-time procedure was completed on Nov 4 to update the on-board ephemeris. The schedule of targets for the next week is shown below and includes an observation of XB 1832-330 that was accepted as a Target of Opportunity on Nov 3 and an observation of Eta Car coordinated with HST. |
