23 October Daily Meeting Minutes Announcements: -------------- No weekly meeting tomorrow. Will be done at MEDOC. FOT Briefing ------------ Spacecraft Status: Nominal Spacecraft Anomalies: None Accomplished Activities: RSL,VIRGO, New Guide Star (7.3 mag, slot 1) Planned Activities: RSL,VIRGO, Nom HGA Table, New Guide Star (5.8 mag, slot 3) Upcoming Operations: 27 Oct/1330 - Submode switch from 2 to 5 Ground Anomalies: 295/1415 - D66 Red until 298/1220 295/2115 - Degraded TM due to JPL-GSFC comm line problem (20 min, recoverable) 296/0253 - TM Dropouts; Antenna Servo Problem (8 min, unrecoverable) 296/0614 - TM Dropouts due to RCVR1 lock loss during ranging (8 min, unrecoverable) Other: Station 66 will be off for the next 3 days (until 12:20, day 298) Instrument reports: ------------------- CDS: Nominal. Today: low rate campaign. Study of the North coronal hole, North Coronal Hole boundary, North Coronal Hole and off limb study. SUMER: Nominal. Not observing UVCS: Nominal. UVCS is doing a coronal global dynamic study looking for line intensity and profile variations with heliocentric height and latitude. Yesterday UVCS observed pointing at PA=254 between 1.5 - 4.5 solar radii. Today UVCS will observe pointing at PA=225 between 1.5 - 4.3 solar radii. Tomorrow UVCS will start a long observation pointing at the South Coronal Hole between 1.5 and 3.6 solar radii. LASCO: The Sun is very quiet. EIT and LASCO yesterday took polarization sequences every 9 minutes from 19 to 23 UT. In the C2 difference images it is possible to see plasmoids on the East limb. Today LASCO will try to do a faster cadence taking a frame every 2 minutes (clear only). EIT: Nominal. Yesterday and today Submode 2 for Christmas campaign. Full field, full resolution 195 images cadence 12 minutes. Only one synoptic per day, resolution reduced at 2 by 2 bins during LASCO Polarizer sequences. MDI: Nominal. Yesterday ran high resolution program. Three variables in half of high resolution FOV between 19:50 and 01:06. Today switched to full-disk campaign taking magnetograms and continuum filtergrams. Will run this program through Sunday.
