Operations CXO Status Report

Friday 6 September 2024 9.00am EDT

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

Chandra passed through the 7th, 8th, and 9th eclipses of the season on Aug 31, Sep 3, and Sep 5 respectively, with nominal power and thermal performance.

Real-time procedures were executed on Sep 4 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).

The schedule of targets for the next week is shown below and includes observations of Her X-1, which was accepted as a Target of Opportunity on Aug 16.
