Wu Command file: 09.07.09.13:06:06.cmd.log Activity: --------- 1) North Polar Coronal Hole Study Sequence: 09.07_hole.tcl, n = 8, m = 1, p = 0, r = 1, e = 0 SCI_SPEC: Characterization of a polar coronal hole. Goal is to measure the properties of a polar coronal hole. In particular we are interested in the coronal conditions (intensities and line widths for HI Ly-alpha and OVI 1032/1037) as a function of height and latitude. We will compare these properties with the ones found in non-polar coronal holes. Roll positions are VL-corrected for PA=0 degrees.

UVCS TSU Substitution Heater (Circuit #84) on. The ESR is believed to have been triggered by the CSPAAD (Coarse Sun Pointing Attitude Anomaly Detector). Message from SOC received Sunday, 12 July 2009 16:10:34 GMT: SOHO has been in Emergency Sun Reacquisition (ESR) since approximately 0413 UT today (12 July 2009). The likely cause of the ESR was spurious CSPAAD triggering. Initial instrument safings and thermal adjustments have been done. The spacecraft is currently in Coarse Roll Pointing (CRP) mode, but the spacecraft recovery remains incomplete. Due to downlink-only passes both today and tomorrow, the recovery activities will cease for today no later than 1650 and continue tomorrow 13 July 2009 as of approximately 1630 UT.
