SOHO DAILY PLANNING MEETING MINUTES
			13 MAY 1995


Chair: Laura Allen
Notes: Craig DeForest (MDI)


FOT Report:
--- ------
The S/C is nominal.
They released one of the "extra" stars from the star tracker on Friday,
and switched to a new one.

Over the weekend, there were 7 DMA failures.  6 of the 7 were during 
MDI's background queue commanding.  There were also several rejected
command errors; in each case, the rejected commands were resent, and
found to uplink correctly.

The background queue files were all uplinked.

There's a change in the DSN schedule for today:  the 14:30 pass on D66
was cancelled; instead we get a short pass from 15:20 - 17:00.


Instrument Status
---------- ------

MDI is nominal.  They are still uplinking a new flat field table; it's 
approximately 25% finished.  They will be able to support the various
upcoming JOPs.

SUMER is nominal.

CDS is unchanged.  They have finished the GIS raw dumps; they're
planning to generate a new calibration table and be ready for GIS
science in time to support JOP002 later this week.  NIS is working
well.  They're doing some co-alignment studies with EIT, and
observing the active region.  At the moment, they're also engaging
in joint observations with Yohkoh.

LASCO is nominal.

EIT is getting synoptic observations using the old version of the
flight software; the new stuff has not been uplinked yet.  Until the
new flight software is tested and uplinked, they can only do complicated
things when there is real-time commanding.  "Complicated" in this case
means, for example, JOP-22 support.  The upshot is that EIT will only
support the last hour of the five-hour JOP-22 campaign (like MDI)
beginning around 20:00 UT.

UVCS is nominal.  Over the weekend, they did some interplanetary 
scintillation observations with other spacecraft.  Their ground
computer (IWS) crashed yesterday during NRT, so they could not uplink
all three hours' worth of intercal-9 campaigns.  They will finish uplinking
their sequence during the 15:20 - 17:00 pass today.

Scheduling
----------

Intercal 1 will start May 14 at 22:30, NOT May 15 at 00:00.
