Light Leak:
* Detector 2 continues to have a decreased livetime and elevated fast and slow counts due to the light leak. We tried raising the front slow threshold to quell the issue, but no appreciable change came of it. The front (and rear) fast counts are only high during the light leak itself and do not have an elevated baseline, so no action was taken. But the next Tohban might try raising the front fast threshold to see if this can alleviate some of the issue.

* Detectors 3 and 5 continue to see the effects of the light leak as well. These manifest as rear fast counts, and not slow counts because of these detectors are segmented and there is no coincident signal from the front segment to set-off a slow triggered event.

Solar Activity

Solar Activity was even lower this week, with most of the flux at baseline levels. There have only been 2-C flares in the past 2 days, one of which was over the NE limb which could indicate an increase of activity in the coming days. But otherwise, the forecast is to remain quiet over the next week.

How many GOES flares occurred?

 Flares above B, C, M, X class were     10    1     0     0

And how many of these are listed in the RHESSI flare list?

 Flares above B, C, M, X class were     6     1     0     0

And how many had EXCELLENT coverage?

 Flares above B, C, M, X class were      3     0     0     0

There were RHESSI flares/GOES flares 61 / 11 over the time range 26-May-15 02-Jun-15

Memory Management

SSR has been emptying by the end of the pass set.

Spacecraft Status

Nominal.

Data Gaps

No significant data gaps this week.

Detector issues

Fast counts:

2015-152-16:58:07 /IDPUTABLE3 OFFSET=FRONTFASTDAC
2015-152-16:58:16 /IDPLOAD VALUE=0x30  ; was 0x22
2015-152-17:00:18 /IDPUTABLE4 OFFSET=FRONTFASTDAC 
2015-152-17:00:31 /IDPLOAD VALUE=0x60  ; was 0x50


Light Leak:

2015-152-17:01:00 /IDPUTABLE2 OFFSET=FRONTSLOWDAC 
2015-152-17:01:16 /IDPLOAD VALUE=0x70  ; was 0x58

Spacecraft Management

We turned on events in the rear segment during eclipse. Front segment counts continue during the usual +/- 4 minutes.


Temperatures

These are mostly unchanged from last week. Eclipse will continue to decrease until June 16th, so CPs/CTs should continue to cool over this time period.

Cold Tip Temperature 1  	109.6	K
Cold Tip Temperature 2  	107.8	K
Cold Plate Temperature 1  	132.1	K
Cold Plate Temperature 2  	130.6	K
