SOHO Daily Meeting Minutes for Tuesday 31 August 2004 ANNOUNCEMENTS ------------- * The current RHESSI default target is AR10663. When selecting this target to maximize coordination w/others, use campaign number 6850. * We will be taking our software down for testing today at 16:30 UT. * EIT Shutterless on Wednesday - limited NRT is available. * The new Space Link Extension (SLE) protocol being set up for ground connections w/DSN stations will not include the DUS (frame) and QAC (packet) headers. When the system becomes operational, mock QACs will be generated with "good" values (only good frames will be forwarded anyhow). E.g. if Reed-Solomon correction has successfully taken place, there will be no indication of this in the QACs. If any teams will have a problem with the above, please let the SOCs know. We do not believe that anyone uses these headers (you do not even see the DUS headers). For more information, see the SOCs.
