There were RHESSI flares/GOES flares 2 / 5 over the time range 13-Dec-16 20-Dec-16
Memory Management
Despite not taking data at night (F & R), and Quiet/Vigorous decimation scheme, it was difficult to bring the memory below 50%.
Spacecraft Status
Detectors 3 and 9 are active and taking data. The cryocooler power was brought down to 80 W at the beginning of the week.

Detector issues
Lots of fast threshold adjustments to improve livetimes this week:
