Memory Management

Decimation is still Active/Vigorous. Night time event collection (rear segments) has been turned on. In the next week, we may return to Normal/Vigorous and start collecting events from front segments.

Spacecraft Status

The cold plates, 1 and 2 were at 124.5 and 127.9 K, on 31-Dec-2015 UTC.

Data Gaps

There was no significant data gap.

Detector issues

D5 has largely segmented over the past week. The next tohban should try to lower the front threshold.

The other detectors are stable, 2 and 4 are unsegmented.

Light leak in D2 front, D9 rear and D5 rear.
