Schenk (LASCO) DOY: 251 FOT REPORT ---------- Spacecraft Status: Nominal Spacecraft Anomalies: None Accomplished Activities: VIRGO, RSL Planned Activities: VIRGO, New tracking star (7.1 mag), VC2 (1400) Upcoming Operations: Sept. 9, 11 - VC2 (1400-1500) Ground Anomalies: 251/0508 - Delay in cmding; CPA failure at D46 (4 mins) SOLAR STATUS ------------ SOLAR ACTIVITY FORECAST: SOLAR ACTIVITY IS EXPECTED TO BE LOW. GEOPHYSICAL ACTIVITY FORECAST: THE GEOMAGNETIC FIELD IS EXPECTED TO BE MOSTLY UNSETTLED FOR THE NEXT THREE DAYS. THERE IS A FAIR CHANCE FOR SOME ACTIVE PERIODS DURING THE NEXT 24 HOURS, HOWEVER, IN RESPONSE TO THE HIGH SPEED SOLAR WIND STREAM. 9/07 DOY 250 - 9/08 DOY 251 EIT daily On-Line Solar Status and observations: http://umbra.nascom.nasa.gov/eit/plan/log_form19990908.html LASCO 9/08: Partial HALO due to multiple backsided events from the CME in the NW and prominence eruptions on the SW last night and early today. Large CME Seen in C2 from the 'corkscrew' prominence in SW starting at 13:54 and the CME due to the M1 flare with wave AR8698 in NE about the same time. INSTRUMENT STATUS ----------------- CDS: Nominal. JOP 109 today and tomorrow. Oslo AR study will be performed. UVCS: Nominal. Continuing scans from position angle 290 out to 7 Rsun using narrow slit. Preliminary results from UVCS's recent data of a Western streamer were presented with solar wind velocity plots and corresponding Lasco C2 data. Synoptics will be eliminated for the current campaign. LASCO: Nominal. C2 and C3 synoptics while CME watching. C2 pB campaign for whole sun month JOP 109 EIT: Nominal. 195A CME Watch in full resolution. JOP 109 MDI: Nominal. Full disk magnetograms and cropped dopplergrams. TRACE: Nominal. Active Region 8698 campaign, and Streamers in JOP 109
