FGS 9603

Monitoring FGS1r's Interferometric Response as a Function of Spectral 
Color

This proposal obtains reference point source Transfer Functions 
{S-Curves} for FGS1r through the F583W filter and the F5ND attenuator 
at the center position of the FGS1r FOV for a variety of stars with 
different stellar spectral colors. The data will be added to the 
library of point source interferograms that was assembled from the 
Cycles 8 and 9 calibration programs. These Transfer Functions are 
needed to support the analysis of GO science data for the study of 
close and wide binary star systems and for determining the angular 
size and shape of extended sources. This proposal observes stars that 
have been observed in previous cycles to check for long term temporal 
stability of the FGS1r S-curves.  This proposal monitors the cycle 10
calibration the FGS1r Lateral Color response {using stars Latcol-A and 
Latcol-B}, as well as calibrates the "Pos/Trans" bias of a star's 
position as determined from Transfer mode and Position mode 
observations, and finally the shift of a star's centroid when observed 
with F5ND relative to that when observed with F583W {the cross filter 
shift} is calibrated for the fainter stars in this proposal {stars 
brighter than V=8 can not be observed with F583W.}

STIS 9605

CCD Dark Monitor-Part 1

Monitor the darks for the STIS CCD

STIS 9607

CCD Bias Monitor - Part 1

Monitor the bias in the 1x1, 1x2, 2x1, and 2x2 bin settings at gain=1, 
and 1x1 at gain = 4, to build up high-S/N superbiases and track the 
evolution of hot columns.

ACS 9673

CCD Daily Monitor

This program consists of basic tests to monitor, the read noise, the 
development of hot pixels and test for any source of noise in ACS CCD 
detectors. This programme will be executed once a day for the entire 
lifetime of ACS

WFPC2 9676

POMS Test Proposal: WFII parallel archive proposal

This is the generic target version of the WFPC2 Archival Pure Parallel 
program.  The program will be used to take parallel images of random 
areas of the sky, following the recommendations of the 2002 Parallels 
Working Group.

NICMOS 9702

NICMOS Parallel Thermal Background

NICMOS Camera 2 pure parallel exposures in the F222M and F237M filters 
to establish the stability of the HST+NCS+Instrument thermal emission. 
This data will be compared against the already available Camera 3 
measurements in F222M which show an increased thermal background.

STIS 9706

STIS Pure Parallel Imaging Program: Cycle 10

This is the default archival pure parallel program for STIS during 
cycle 10.


FLIGHT OPERATIONS SUMMARY:

Significant Spacecraft Anomalies: (The following are preliminary 
reports of potential non-nominal performance that will be 
investigated.)

HSTAR 8958: GSacq(3,1,3) results to Finelock Backup (1,0,1). The 
             GSACQ(3,1,3) scheduled at 072/16:29:36 - 16:36:52 
             resulted to finelock backup(1,0,1) using FGS#1 due to 
             scan step limit exceeded on FGS#3. Possible observations 
             affected: WFPC 218,219 ACS 144.  The guide star 
             acquisition for this observation was non-nominal, further 
             analysis will determine if a repeat observation is 
             required.  Under investigation.

SIGNIFICANT EVENTS:

Aft Flight Deck Command Dry Run (March 12, 2003) Objectives: To dry 
run AFD commands for SM4 to ensure that the CCS verifiers responded 
with correct values. This first test is also verifying the SM4 AFD 
test procedures and the SOCs scenario files. The test was a partial 
success. Testing was delayed by the inability to access the DM14 
calibration report from CCSPDT or the legacy DM14 bluebooks from the 
web. Everett Pope responded quickly to reload the PDT application on 
select SMOR machines before testing resumed.  Several mnemonic 
conflicts were resolved by the SOC filtering said mnemonics out of
there database during testing. All considered this was a good first 
dry run with actions resulting for both teams.  SOC and HITT will meet 
on Friday to discuss all issues.
