Degraded TLM from 1340-1343, 1347-1350 and 1427-1433 (total of 12 minutes). TLM outage 1433-1435 (2 minutes). Commanding outage 1429-1435 (6 minutes). All lost data is recoverable. The SSR was redumped and the RSL table had to be reloaded. INSTRUMENT STATUS ----------------- CDS: Nominal. JOP104 and JOP131 support. Other observations include AR9182 and polarity reversal studies. SUMER: Nominal. JOP104 continues. UVCS: Nominal. Today 24 hour synoptics. They did manage to catch the comet SOHO-204 last night, still need to examine the data from the observation. Tomorrow: JOP104 and mini-synoptics. LASCO: Nominal. C2/C3 synoptics. Observing the SOHO-204 sun-grazing comet using modified exposure times in C3 in addition to the usual C2/C3 synoptics. Also discovered another comet (a possible fragment off of SOHO-204), bringing the total up to 205 comets discovered. EIT: Nominal. CME watch and JOP131 support. MDI: Nominal. Full disk program continues in support of JOP131. TRACE: Nominal. Supporting JOP131 with 171 Angstrom images. The shuttle launch again was delayed which may again result in more lost passes (and a few hours of data) Yesterday also from ~ 04:48 - 12:05 UT, the onboard sequence stopped running due to a known problem (and a full buffer), it was corrected on the next pass.
