Hi Mark,

There were a couple of plots where you could have inferred that
information. Nevertheless, I have just made a simple plot that will
easily demonstrate Chandra's altitude during this time period. If you go to
http://asc.harvard.edu/acis/radbelt/ 
click on the "Chandra' Altitude versus Time on Day 286" link (near the
bottom). From this plot, you can easily see that between 286.4 and
286.5, Chandra went from ~7.15x10^4 km to ~5.25x10^4 km. Hope this
helps.

Cheers,
Shanil
