SOHO Daily Meeting Minutes for Thursday, 6 Jan. 2000 Chaired by: J. Hollis (SOC) Notes by: M. Uzzo (UVCS) DOY: 006 ANNOUNCEMENTS ------------- * Flare Genesis Update [Stein Haugan]: According to information from the Flare Genesis group, launch will happen at about 00 UT on January 7, with observations starting at the same time. The target for the first 3 days will apparently be AR 8817 (N24 E01 at 1715 UT January 5). The most likely filament target for the following day is the one at N18 W03 (same time). FOT REPORT ---------- Spacecraft Status: Nominal Spacecraft Anomalies: 006/0011 CTM3 [SOC note: CDS's front bulkhead, bottom right hand corner temperature] violated yellow high limits on four separate occassions for exactly two minutes each. Accomplished Activities: VIRGO, CELIAS, MDI procedure testing Planned Activities: VIRGO, SWAN, CELIAS, HGA Upcoming Operations: Acquire new tracking star tomorrow Ground Anomalies: 005/0512 Wayward command. 4 minute delay in commanding. 005/1639 Lost command interface woth D16. 53 minute delay in commanding. Delayed uplink of CELIAS load. 005/2059 Antenna went to brake, reason unknown. 1 minute unrecoverable TLM loss, 24 minute delay in commanding. Delayed MDI procedure testing. 005/2205 D46 antenna ran away. 10 TLM loss, recoverable from D16 since anomaly occurred during station handover. 12 commanding delay. Other: None SOLAR STATUS ------------ EIT daily On-Line Solar Status and observations: http://umbra.nascom.nasa.gov/eit/plan/log_form20000106.html INSTRUMENT STATUS ----------------- CDS: Nominal. Sunspot study then Observations of North Pole with the Polarity Reversal Campaign. Spectral Survey of AR 8814 & 8815 will then be followed by CME watch and Flare Genesis support if launch is achieved. UVCS: Nominal. Extended Streamers Study through weekend. LASCO: Nominal. C2 and C3 synoptics while CME Watching. EIT: Nominal. Full res 195A images at 12 minutes. MDI: Nominal. Full disk Magnetograms and Dopplergrams TRACE: Nominal. Email from Richard Shine: No word on Flare Genesis yet. We are continuing on AR 8810 for the first part of the day with an interlude for some calibrations. Later we do a east limb movie for 2 orbits and then sit on the new AR coming over the south east limb. We suspect this will be a candidate for Flare Genesis. Hard to call, but it looks more active than AR 8810 or AR 8815.
