STATUS and MODES
All instruments essentially stable
Slew Mode tests on rev.1242 (Sept.19-21) went well
essentially ready with EPIC (pn & MOS) and RGS instruments
but SOC systems need to handle slew scheduling less manually
also OM mode
RGS2 ADC-problem glitch
now better understood
see dedicated splinter on contingency preparation
Slewing / re-pointing ‘mode’ for RGS !
implementation requirements/plan by end-year ??
APOGEE GAP & SANTIAGO COVERAGE
Santiago provided coverage across Kourou-Perth gap
• allowed continuous coverage throughout complete revolution
Gap shrinking through years & closes by end 2007
By end 2006:
• the gap in telecommanding is as little as 35 minutes
• and telemetry gap totally disappeared
Decided to discontinue Santiago as of 1 Dec. 2006
Plot shows evolution of apogee gap from 2006 to 2010

XMM-NewtonXMM-Newton
In the graph the TC gap on 01/12/2006 is ~1300 sec (22 min) to which a little margin (say 10 min) is added for acquisition of signal, carrier sweeping, etc.
APOGEE GAP & SANTIAGO COVERAGE
In the 810 revs. from 450 to 1259 there were 5 cases of instrument
closure due to soft protons (detected by the instruments themselves)
at the time of the Santiago pass around apogee -/+ 2 h
1) Rev-614 : instruments were closed for 35 min
2) Rev-621 : instruments were closed for 2 h 20 min
3) Rev-628 : instruments were closed for 20 min
4) Rev-873 : instruments were closed for 1 h 30 min
5) Rev-1149 : instruments were closed for 1 h 35min
The probability of having an alert at that point in the revolution is, for the
period considered, about 0.62 % (note also that three cases were very close
together in rev-614 to 628 due to exceptionally high solar activity, so this
could actually bias a bit the statistics and make it slightly worse).
