SOHO Daily Meeting Minutes for Wednesday, 26 December 2001 ANNOUNCEMENTS ------------- * We had problems receiving email in the EOF on soc since some time yesterday, but the problem is now fixed. * Holiday contact information - Each instrument team should email to the SOCs a special contact list with vacation dates and phone numbers where people can be reached while out of town. * It may be impossible to access MDI data on 30-31 December since they are re-arranging the computer room. * DSS-16 is in maintenance and won't be up until week 2 of 2002. FOT REPORT ---------- Spacecraft Status: Nominal Spacecraft Anomalies: None Accomplished Activities: 12/21 - RSL, VIRGO, SWAN, CELIAS 12/22 - VIRGO, CELIAS 12/23 - VIRGO, NONCOHO 12/24 - VIRGO, SWAN 12/25 - RSL, VIRGO Planned Activities: VIRGO Upcoming Operations: 1/2/02 CDMU/ACU Memory Dumps Ground Anomalies: 355/1630 - TC software anomalies during cmding at D27 (29 min delay) 356/1429 - RCVR2 lost lock during cmding at D27 (9 min delay) 356/2242 - RCVR1 lost lock; D46 transmitter failure (65 min delay; 52 min TC outage; 1 min TM loss, unrecoverable) 357/1316 - TM/TC Dropout during LASCO NRT; Bad weather at D66 (7 mins, unrecoverable) 360/0459 - TM/TC Dropout during VC4; D46 Power Outage (26 min TC loss; 14 min TM loss, unrecoverable) 360/1136 - POCC String 4 crashed; swapped to String 5 (7 min cmd outage) SOLAR STATUS ------------ 12/21 DOY 355 - 12/26 DOY 360 EIT daily On-Line Solar Status and observations: http://umbra.nascom.nasa.gov/eit/plan/log_form20011226.html LASCO daily On-Line Solar Status and observations: http://lasco-www.nrl.navy.mil/observations/2001/Todays_obs.html Web Page for Planning: http://www.bbso.njit.edu/arm Proton Event: At 01:30 EST this morning SOCs were notified that ------------ a proton storm was in progress. Fortunately, proton levels dropped rapidly and no instruments were safed. (CDS was not doing science observations, see below). There is a possibility that the shock passage will involve higher particle counts. INSTRUMENT STATUS ----------------- CDS: Nominal. CDS observations were temporarily interrupted for patch loads on Tuesday. NRT ended before science loads could be uplinked. Active region monitoring is expected to resume today. UVCS: Nominal. Coronal hole observations and synoptics today and tomorrow. LASCO: Nominal. C2/C3 synoptics. For the next month, color sequences will be taken daily in C3 for flat fielding purposes. EIT: Nominal. 195 Angstrom CME watch and synoptics. MDI: Nominal. Full disk campaign of magnetograms and dopplergrams. TRACE: Nominal. Observing AR 9742 today.
