Type: Limitation

Original Date: 1998 May 28


Subsystem: HRC

Subject: HRC Door Operation during ACIS Observations

Source: e-mail from J. Donaghy - IF1-20 section 3.4.2.1.1


CRL Statement:

The HRC door may not be moved during times when ACIS is observing celestial sources.


CRL Rationale/Justification:

IF1-20 section 3.4.2.1.1 - "Observatory constraints will be to prevent operation of the HRC door while ACIS is taking measurements."

CRL Impact:

Operation of the HRC door perturbs AXAF pointing stability degrading X-ray image reconstruction.


Recommended Action:
