Solar Activity

There is once active region on disk - NOAA AR 11112. The region has produced a number of B class flares but is in its decay phase and consists of a single alpha spot surrounded by bipolar plage. Former NOAA AR 11109/11110 will rotate on disk in the next 2 days. This region produced a number of C class flares during its last disk passage and may increase activity in the coming week.

How many GOES flares occurred?
  Flares above B, C, M, X class were     18     0     0     0
And how many of these are listed in the RHESSI flare list?
  Flares above B, C, M, X class were      9     0     0     0
And how many had EXCELLENT coverage?
  Flares above B, C, M, X class were      4     0     0     0

Memory Management

The SSR is emptying out at ~10% and is reaching a maximum at ~35%. This is due to some missed contacts this week. It should be rectified next week.

Data Gaps

There were three VC3 data gaps:

GAPS IN APP_ID = 102 (VC3-MONITOR RATES) WITH PACKET RATE LT 30
N_GAPS           1

Spacecraft Status

No commanding changes this week. Spin rate is 14.7 and we remain in normal/vigorous decimation mode, with 4 minutes of data taken on each side of the eclipse.
