Science (SDeustua)
 The D2 Lamp Test (11428)
o Overall lamp output on-orbit is 1-6% higher than in TV3.
o 2 of 11 lamp turn-ons had delayed firings of a few sec
(Richardson & Swain).
 Vice 21 minutes, as reported Aug. 18
o Otherwise, results are nominal
o For details, see the attached
WFC3_SMOV_Science_21Aug.ppt

o
Cross-SI Light Leak Test (11515)
o Continuing analysis
COS

Science TKeyes
 FUV Sensitivity analysis
o Preliminary results are nominal
 NUV Imaging Performance Verification
o Preliminary results are nominal
 FUV Focus
o Preparing for repeat of focus run starting Monday.
o Data will be fasttracked
o Subsequent uplinks will be done at generic opportunity
 For details, see the attached

ACS SMOV is complete.
Light-leak test
 Preliminary report
o indicates light detected in one WFC chip and one filter
o Cannot be directly correlated with WFC3 lamp
o May need longer exposures to see in other filters/chip
Science. CProffitt
 11395 MAMA Image Stability are scheduled for Sun. and Mon.
o This completes STIS SMOV

NICMOS/NCS
 NICMOS instrument in SAAOper today
 Dewar Temp = 77.3
 Tiger Team meets Mon., 24aug, 2pm?,
 To discuss current NCS behavior
o
ERO

COS EROs will be fasttracked (sms243).
P&S Status
o
o
-
Except for some NUV darks
Possible need to rerun CCD stability
 This time with MAMA LVPS on
The low E140H exposure seen in 11403 (reported Aug. 18)
o suggests that large breathing may be causing larger than
expected throughput changes
For details, see the attached STIS_SMOV_update_21aug2009.ppt

 SMS236 is delivered
 SMS243
 Work is starting now

 Overnight two ACS exposures (proposal 11887) errored at the reference file
