SOHO Daily Meeting Minutes for Thursday 02 October 2003 ANNOUNCEMENTS ------------- * Today just before, during, and after the DSS63/66 pass (13:15-16:15 UT) we will perform a live test of the new ECS software (fixing the time correlation file problem). This test is to verify that nothing has been broken in fixing the original problem. SOC office machines may be unreachable at times after 16:15 UT during the gap in contact. * Note that SOC office staffing will be somewhat irregular during the keyhole period. Staffing for today: SOC here 8:30am-4:30pm, student here 5:30pm-9pm. Tomorrow: SOC here 8:30am-4:30pm, student here 7pm-11pm. * Current RHESSI default target is AR10464. When selecting this target to maximize coordination w/others, use campaign number 6850. * Commanding times for next week: Tuesday: Maneuver during early pass, Thursday and Friday end of uplink station is 15:20 UT Monday - NRT before and after SVM and after 16:20-20:30 UT gap, Tuesday - SOHO Maneuver on early pass, 4-hour gap, then DSS-34 at 20:10 UT. Wednesday - 10-hour gap until 17 UT, then 7 hours contact with DSS-27. Thursday - Only uplink time is 10-15:20 UT Friday - Only uplink time is 11:30-15:20 UT Saturday - Gap from 12:05-15:15 UT, then DSS-24 until 18 UT. DSS-46 20:15-01:15 UT.
