Opsgenie Alert Email: (2024/06/07): ----------------------------------- Chandra realtime telemetry shows SCS107 DISA at 2024:160:03:05:38 UT Check email for info. Opsgenie Radiation Telecon Summary (2024/06/08): --------------------------------------------------- Update 8-June-11:30 At the day 160 03:00z comm (Friday night), SCS-107 was observed to have run at 160:02:29:29z (10:29 EDT). This was in response to prompt particles from an M9.7 flare from region 3697 at 01:49z. The science instruments were confirmed safe during the real-time communication pass. An extremely high prompt proton level was observed. The peak GOES proxy was about 2,000,000 HRC shield counts. This rate is now declining exponentially and is expected to be safe for restart within 24 hours. Models indicate CME arrival on Monday before 162:14:00z. The current plan is to restart science observations with either the 162:20:30z comm pass - if AR Lac HRC observations are required - or 163:00:00z comm pass if the AR Lac observations can be delayed. The hope is that ACE p3 rates will be acceptable at those times. The team will meet after the 9 am standup Monday morning (EDT Jun 10) to review the space weather status and confirm an appropriate recovery to science timeline. Opsgenie Radiation Discussion Summary (2024/06/10): ------------------------------------------------------ Update of 2024 Jun 10 Monday ~9:15 AM local Following the 9AM OCC tagup a discussion of the space weather situation and of plans to return to science was conducted. GOES proxy rates are substantially below threshold and falling; ACE rates are still rising but are expected to turn over later today (as they already have at higher energies). It was decided that the situation justifies going ahead with steps to uplink JUN1124A loads at the 8PM comm this evening, and loads have been released for review by 1:30PM today. Opsgenie Radiation Return to Science (2024/06/10): -------------------------------------------------- Update of 2024 Jun 10 Monday ~8PM local The team met at 7:45PM CDT to review the space weather situation and noted that ACE rates were at ~3000 and descending, and GOES proxy ~5000. With the criteria met and the concurrence of the HRC and ACIS teams, the decision was reached to go ahead with the recovery plan and uplink the JUN1124A loads for return to science. At 8PM BOT all operations were nominal.
