Friday 26 September 2003 8.30am EDT

During the last week Chandra completed the observing schedule as planned.

Of note last week was the approval by the Flight Director Board of an update to the IRU-2 calibration k-constants based on data taken since the IRU swap in July.

The observing schedule for next week is shown below and includes an observation of GX 339-4 coordinated with ASCA.
