NOTE:
	On December 21, 1998 at 17:49 UT, SOHO S/C went in ESR-10 while
	in RMW mode prior to routine momentum management activities.
	It has been determined that there was mechanical failure to gyro B.
	Since that date, the S/C will remain in ESR safe mode until
	'gyroless' flight software is uploaded to transition to RMW again. 

	During this period, there will be no science observations...sorry.
