SOHO WEEKLY MEETING MINUTES for Week 30, July 20-26, 2009 Prepared by: Gavin Westenburger 1. Announcements ---------------- * SPWG on Friday 24 July 2009 after daily and weekly meetings. * TRACE coming out of hibernation and resuming nominal science operations this week. 2. Operations Constraints ------------------------- * MDI jitter test on Monday 20 July 2009. * MDI 60-day continuous contact ends on Tuesday 21 July 2009. * HERSCHEL sounding rocket launch and associated cross calibration on Tuesday 21 July 2009. * 26m Keyhole begins on Wednesday 22 July 2009. NRT will be limited and commanding times will need to be coordinated with the SOCs. * Total Solar eclipse at approximately 02:36 on Wednesday 22 July 2009. 3.
