With the list of items on our plate and the need to give more time to getting H1 ready for ER9, we did our darnedest to limit Maintenance Day to 4hrs today. Jeff helped from the Detector Engineer side, and Ed was recruited whenever the waves of activities were too much.
With Maintenance starting at ~8:00, we were complete by around 12:39pm. At this point, it was noticed that the Quads were pretty misaligned. I restored their pointing via Oplev trends, and then since there were big changes, I went ahead and performed an Initial Alignment.
Ops Note: Only issue with alignment was when doing the last step (SRC_ALIGN_OFFLOADED). For some reason, the IMC would break lock and Guardian would loop through this step repeatedly. Not really sure what the issue was here. Sheila & Jenne were notified of this.
Alignment took from 12:39pm - 1:44pm & then handed over to Commissioners.
A log of all activities are attached as a pdf (vs posted in this alog......thought of reducing alog real estate with the many lines of each activity during the day---input on preference on how Operators should post logs like this would be nice).
