July/August Observation Scheduling for MUPS Anomaly and Target Mitigation Steps

The scheduling for July/August observations has been impacted by the MUPS anomaly, leading to the exhaustion of Cycle 11 cold pitch targets, rendering an efficient schedule impossible. Mitigation steps include the ingestion of uncompeted GTO targets into OBSCAT in April. Between April and May, the MP is actively searching Cycle 12 submitted proposals for candidate July/August targets. A peer review process will check these targets against existing proposals. The final July/August targets will be released after necessary approvals around July 16, 2010.

  1. July/August Observation Scheduling • MUPS anomally: used up ~ all Cycle 11 cold pitch targets, efficient schedule not possible > June 2010 • Mitigation: • Uncompeted GTO targets: ingested into OBSCAT in April • April-May: MP searching Cycle 12 submitted proposals for candidate July/Aug targets (mostly unconstrained/pool) • > Peer Review: MP will check July/Aug targets vs passing and grey-area proposals in review DB • CDO will release to OBSCAT any definitely-to-be-approved targets for immediate USINT review • CDO will release remainder July/Aug targets following release and approval of final target list (~16 July 2010) • IPPS review will be started, as usual, for all non-July/Aug targets • Announcement: in May of possible early observation of targets so that GOs prepared to respond rapidly Chandra Users' Committee, 27 April 2010 Chandra Director’s Office
