WEEKLY MEETING MINUTES Week 21, May 21-27, 2001 1. Announcements ---------------- * Tuesday, May 22 from 17 to 18 UT there will be no commanding due to network security maintenance that can cause a 5-minute interruption. * There will be about 25 high school physics students here on Tuesday May 22 at 1pm. 2. Operations Constraints ------------------------- DSN Schedule - 12 downlink only stations for Week 21 ------------ On Monday only DSS-27 will be available for commanding starting at 16:10 UT. We will allow only one instrument at a time command on that station because of its low uplink power. Best MEDOC commanding times: Monday 16:10 UT (DSS-27) Tuesday 13:00 UT Wednesday 13:30 UT Thursday 13:00 UT Friday 13:00 UT 3.

UVCS: Nominal. JOP139 and synoptic. Sunday, instead of JOP139 UVCS will be doing another study with Ulysses. LASCO: C2/C3 synoptics and JOP139 support. EIT: Nominal. Monday through Friday EIT will do its interdispersed 304 program during NRT times only. While in this mode, EIT continues its 195 Angstrom CME watch and adds half res 304 Angstrom images every 36 minutes (every 2nd synoptic set will be half resolution to compensate telemetry requirements). EIT will return to normal half res 195 CME watch and synoptics mode for the weekend. MDI: Full disk/high res doppler campaign for continuous contact. TRACE: Following SUMER's pointing. AOB: ----
