Solar Activity

Some activity, even a few M=class flares

How many GOES flares occurred?

 Flares above B, C, M, X class were     26    27     7     0

And how many of these are listed in the RHESSI flare list?

 Flares above B, C, M, X class were     18    18     5     0

And how many had EXCELLENT coverage?

 Flares above B, C, M, X class were     12     7     3     0

There were RHESSI flares/GOES flares 232 / 60 over the time range 14-Aug-12 21-Aug-12

Memory Management

Decimation was Active/Vigorous for the full week, with events turned off at night, except for 4 minutes at the start and end of spacecraft night. The SSR is empty at the end of each day's pass.

Spacecraft Status

The spacecraft parameters are nominal. No HV commanding this week.

Data Gaps

One Vc3 gap, due to complications arising from planned power outages on 15-Aug-2012. Data processing of Wallops data was held up for two days due to a missing Mysql server, so the gap was not noticed until it was too late to replay.

GAPS IN APP_ID = 102 (VC3-MONITOR RATES) WITH PACKET RATE LT 30

Detector issues

Long tails for D8 after SAA persist. Also D8 had a larger response to a particle event at 0845UT on Aug. 20 that the other detectors.
