!!! TEMPORARY EDITION !!!
 
1. Solar Activity

The solar activity was very high this week. Since Oct-21,
there are two hugh active regions (484 and 486) on the disc.
Both have the capability of producing X-flares and, indeed,
both did (4 X-class flares in one week!). By the end of the
week, both are still very active.

However, none of the X-flares were cought by RHESSI for various
reasons.

Oct-23, 08:40, X5.8, Eclipse, SAA
Oct-23, 20:00, X1.1, Lost AGO passes, may be recovered
Oct-26, 05:57, X1.2, CPU reset
Oct-26, 18:19, X1.2, CPU reset


2. Decimation
 
The decimation was changed from active/active
to active/vigorous at Oct-22, 295:03:33:27.

4. Gaps

The following known data gaps are due to occured CPU reset
(see below) and two vc3 files from Santiago which has not
been processed. Those two vc3 files will be fed into the
data cue again and therefore the data gap on Oct-23 may
be recovered (X1.1 flare).

5. CPU Reset

For reasons we don't know yet, Oct-25 at about 10:30
the CPU on the S/C reset automatically. Caused by this
reset the ACS and all ATS commanding didn't work anymore.
