There were no last minute takers, so Apollo was allowed to continue with tests, and the rest of the time given to engineering. We took more characterization data for AGILE in U as winds were climbing. High winds forced us to close at 3:20. While closed, Russet did an Az remap. We opened again at 5:20 to do a pointing model. ------- FAILURE LOG ------- PROG INST FAILURE MODE TIME (SEDFNVOG) TI/SHU START FINISH DESCRIPTION ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------- FOCUS LOG --------------- Time Instrument Focus Az El Temp Strc Prim Sec Air filt FWHM ----------------------------------------------------------------- ------------- WEATHER LOG ---------------- Wind Precip.or Time Temp F Dewp F MPH Direction Dust Sky Conditions ------------------------------------------------------------------- 16:00 30 -16 8 232 (SW) 100 clear none 17:00 28 -20 8 241 (WSW) 73 clear none 18:00 27 -21 14 278 (W) 107 clear none 19:00 26 -22 10 269 (W) 125 clear none 20:00 25 -22 11 265 (W) 130 clear none 21:00 25 -22 10 254 (WSW) 141 clear none 22:00 23 -7 15 210 (SSW) 259 clear none 23:00 23 -4 14 222 (SW) 345 ptly cldy none 00:00 24 -9 22 214 (SW) 312 clear none 01:00 24 -3 23 210 (SSW) 458 clear none 02:00 22 1 22 201 (SSW) 568 clear none 03:00 21 2 20 213 (SSW) 682 clear none 04:00 20 3 31 234 (SW) 706 clear none 05:00 19 4 27 229 (SW) 721 clear none Note: the wind was coming from the azimuth listed.
