  10. OPERATIONS XMM-Newton Science Operations & Data Systems Division Research & Scientific Support Department 10 Page 10

  11. 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 ?? STATUS and MODES

  12. 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 APOGEE GAP & SANTIAGO COVERAGE

  13. 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. XMM-Newton Science Operations & Data Systems Division Research & Scientific Support Department 13 Page 13

  14. 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 35 min 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).
