Solar Activity
We began the week with a really low solar activity. There were none sunspots on the visible face of the Sun. Will have an eye on the far-side and STEREO images in case there are interesting active regions coming to the East limb.
Memory Management
Decimation is normal/vigorous for the full-time period. The SSR is empty. Detectors G3 and G8 were turned off on Wednesday, �August 3 at 4:30pm (PST). We reduced the passes since we are not collecting data, that way we can save a little bit of power.
Spacecraft Status
Detectors 3, 8 and 9 are powered on and are recording events. The cold plates, 1 and 2 are at 134.4 and 132.9 K. Detector 9 was turned on 16-207 at 07:06:01 UTC. The cold tip temperatures are 113.1 and 111.1 degrees. Prior to the turn on of D9, the cold tip temperature average was quite stable. The turn on appears to have not affected the temperatures.
We decided to turn detector G9 off in the next days. This is a task for the next Tohban.
Data Gaps
No gaps so far.
Detector issues
We turned off detectors G3 and G8. Now all detectors are off to deal with the high temperatures caused by the variation of the Sun fraction.
