SOHO Daily Meeting Minutes for Friday, 7 December 2001 ANNOUNCEMENTS ------------- * Anyone interested in being mentors for summer students (physics and computer science majors) should see the SOC's for details on a program. This program will be funded by a NASA grant, so there will be no cost for mentors. Let the SOC's know as soon as possible if you are interested. Groups of students will be touring the EOF at about 1:30 and 2:30 today. * Website on colloquium today: http://lheawww.gsfc.nasa.gov/users/djt/colloq/Ng.htm FOT REPORT ---------- Spacecraft Status: Nominal Spacecraft Anomalies: None Accomplished Activities: VIRGO, Nominal HGA Table, New tracking star, mag = 5.5, New tracking star, mag = 6.5 Planned Activities: VIRGO, SWAN, RSL, New control star, mag = 6.5, New tracking star, mag = 7.1 Upcoming Operations: Jan 2 ACU/CDMU Memory Dumps Ground Anomalies: 340/0742 DPS software down, cause unknown at this time.
