SMOV Status & Planning Meeting Notes
10/07/09
-
Summary –
After a final set-point change to 76 degK on Oct. 2, NICMOS SMOV is
proceeding with focus measurements and dark monitoring. Several orbit-saving revisions to
the NICMOS SMOV plan are being considered. COS analysis activities have been
dominated by the line spread function (LSF) characterization and resulting Instrument Status
Report (ISR).

 NCS PID control setpoint changed from 77 to 76 deg K on Oct. 2
(275/1502)
 HSTAR 12307 (Oct. 7) – MEB2 temperature out-of-limits, high,
intermittently with a value of 33.4529 deg C, Limit is 33.00 deg C.
o Will be watched/trended as orbital hot season approaches.
 Science (TWiklind)
 NICMOS SMOV has begun
o Focus adjustment and darks are ongoing.
o Several orbit-saving revisions to the NICMOS SMOV plan
are under review by the WFC3/NICMOS team and the HST
Mission Office, with Project concurrence

 Fast-tracked NICMOS data for proposal 11408, with more data for this
proposal coming on Thursday.
 ACS association jb5723030 (members jb5723of, og, ok, and ol) that
originally errored in calibration due to RPTCORR and CRCORR both being
set to "PERFORM",was successfully reprocessed.
 Mike Swam filed TRANS OPR 63480 for this problem
 qekeyword.keyword_value in the SPSS database was incorrectly set
to a value of "2" (should have been "1") for
qekeyword.keyword_name = CRSPLIT
o George Chapman made the required changes.
 With help from Lisa Gardner and George Chapman, the unwanted records
for associations na7o01010-090 and na7o02010-0f0 were removed from the
OPUS and SPSS databases.
 The exposures that were originally members of these associations
failed the DADS house-keeping updates after not being collected into
the associations
o due to calibration being bypassed (dc_nic not triggered).
 They were all successfully reprocessed today.
