Ops Day Shift End
TITLE: 05/12 Day Shift: 1430-2330 UTC (0730-1630 PST), all times posted in UTC
STATE of H1: Planned Engineering
SHIFT SUMMARY: The BS suspension was removed from the ISI that it hung from today. The LVEA continues to be in laser hazard for the ISS swap work, which will continue on for another day or so. Alignment trends attached, no surprises with the ongoing ISS work.
Operators - It looks like the LVEA temperature has been trending up over the last week (see screenshot). We should keep an eye on this to verify that it comes back.
