Points Of Interest

LASCO's doors are presently closed ahead of maneuvers
2003/12/30 consisting of momentum management, station
keeping and 180 deg roll. Doors are expected to reopen
~16 UT 2003/12/31

SOHO is now in a telemetry keyhole, with roughly
30% data coverage. LASCO data will consist of 
typically two (occasionally three) continuous 
periods of real-time data per day
