Hikitsugi Items ----------------------------------------------------------- 8.1 Tohbans for Week #41 KSC : H. Watanabe and M.Takahashi SSOC : H.Hudson and A.Sterling 8.2 STT Timer Setting The next STT Timer should be set on Tuesday, 10-Oct-95. 8.3 Offpoint terminator images If terminators appear in the OP generated by running `op_first_guess' then the OP should be faxed to the SXT_CO (Chief Observer) in D-toh. The SXT_CO will then inform the SSOC tohbans if offpointing will be carried out. If so, the OP will need to be edited appropriately. 8.4 Transmission of OP Please note that the OP should not be transmitted to KSC during the times of SFU passes. Before transmitting the OP the tohbans should check the sheet `Tracking Passes at KSC' to see whether an SFU pass is in progress. 8.5 SXT Patrol Image Dumps The command `BC 8C 05(Hex)' should be executed whenever an SXT table upload occurs. This command dumps an SXT patrol image which is needed to check the ARS parameters since the Sun is very quiet.
