Operations CXO Status Report

Friday 23 October 2026 9.00am EDT

During the last week Chandra completed the observing schedule as planned.

Of note this week, white papers for a new set of Chandra Cool Target (CCTs) are due Oct 23. These are targets useful to assist in thermal control of Chandra susbsystems when suitable non-CCT targets are not available. For details, see https://cxc.cfa.harvard.edu/proposer/CCTs.html

The schedule of targets for the next week is shown below.
