Solar Activity
This was a very quiet week in terms of solar activity, with the GOES base level steadily declining for the past 3 days and right now sitting at ~B1 level, with a couple small B-scale peaks in the last 24 hours. The Max Millennium report predicts that it's possible the Sun will become spotless today for the first time since August 2011.
Spacecraft Operations
Last week ended with the start of the cooldown phase of the annealing cycle!
2014-Jul-9: This day brought us to the end of the scheduled warm phase of the anneal. Even though we had not remained constantly at 100C for the entire annealing period, it was decided to end the warm phase as scheduled. (Annealing at 70-100C isn't as good as 100C, but reversal of radiation damage still occurs.) The heater was turned off on the last pass of the day to start the cooldown.
2014-Jul-10: A spinup was performed between 17:50 and 00:06. The starting rate was 14.4 rpm and the final rate was 15.0 rpm. While this is obviously not needed for detector science, it is useful to have the spacecraft at full spin for analysis of SAS data.
