Operations CXO Status Report

During the last week Chandra completed the observing schedule as planned.

A real-time procedure was executed on Jul 31 to swap the prime solid-state recorder (SSR) from the A-side to the B-side. This swap concludes a six-month interval of health and trending data collection on SSR-A.

The schedule of targets for the next week is shown below and includes observations of SS433 coordinated with Swift and an observation of CenA, which was accepted as a Director's Discretionary Time Target of Opportunity on Jul 16.
