MW 860

Mission Week 860 begins with a continuation of the -50 deg. modified sine profile from the previous week. Then, on DOY 326 (2024-11-21) at 02:24 UT a 10-minute freeze observation occurs during which a -50 deg. modified sine profile is loaded. Next, on DOY 328 (2024-11-23) at 11:15 UT a 10-minute freeze observation occurs during which a -50 deg. modified sine profile is loaded. This profile continues until the end of the mission week. The survey repeat period INCREASED from 5683s to 5685s. Note that positive rock angles are south, and negative rock angles are north. (updated: 18-Nov-2024)

MW 861

Mission Week 861 begins with a continuation of the -50 deg. modified sine profile from the previous week. Then, on DOY 333 (2024-11-28) at 01:47 UT a 10-minute freeze observation occurs during which a -50 deg. modified sine profile is loaded. This profile continues until the end of the mission week. The survey repeat period is based on a 5685s orbital period. Note that positive rock angles are south, and negative rock angles are north. (updated: 06-Nov-2024)

MW 862

Mission Week 862 begins with a continuation of the -50 deg. modified sine profile from the previous week. Then, on DOY 340 (2024-12-5) at 01:20 UT a 10-minute freeze observation occurs during which a -50 deg. modified sine profile is loaded. Next, on DOY 344 (2024-12-9) at 07:56 UT a 10-minute freeze observation occurs during which an asymmetric -50/+60 deg. profile is loaded. This profile continues until the end of the mission week. The survey repeat period DECREASED from 5685s to 5682s. Note that positive rock angles are south, and negative rock angles are north. (updated: 13-Nov-2024)

This utility allows you to view Fermi's observing timeline. It defaults to the current AO cycle, but you can also view past AO cycles, along with timelines showing a summary of the Targets of Opportunity (TOO), Automatic Re-pointing Requests (ARR), other pointed observations, and non-science periods. Explanations of the columns can be found in the glossary.

Pointed observations (like ToOs and ARRs) that interrupted the schedule are indicated in bold. Preliminary scheduled observations are indicated in italics.

Note: Updates to this page can be delayed by unexpected timeline changes. For information about on-going Target-of-Opportunity observations, check the Approved TOOs page.
