Chandra Successfully Completes Real-Time High Resolution Camera Data collection Operations

Chandra has successfully completed all data collection activities needed to assess the potential future use of the High Resolution Camera (HRC) for science observing using the HRC A-Side Central Electronics Assembly (CEA).  Real-time HRC operational procedures were executed on 7/5/22, 8/1/22, 8/25/22 and 9/20/22 with HRC A-side electronics and Micro Channel Plates (MCP) to collect data (science and telemetry). All procedures executed nominally. The HRC team is analyzing the data and working to evaluate a new paradigm of operational constraints for out-of-comm HRC science in the future.
