1. Solar Activity

Active region 10966 is the only active region on the disc, and, aside
from producing two B flares and two C flares on August 6, has been very
quiet.

How many GOES flares occurred?
  Flares above B, C, M, X class were      2     2     0     0
And how many of these are listed in the RHESSI flare list?
  Flares above B, C, M, X class were      0     2     0     0
And how many had EXCELLENT coverage?
  Flares above B, C, M, X class were      0     1     0     0

There were RHESSI flares/GOES flares           2 /            4
over the time range 31-Jul-07 07-Aug-07


2. Memory Management

The detector is in normal/active decimation mode, and events are being
recorded during the eclipse, but still the SSR empties every day.

4. Spacecraft Operations

On August 2, RHESSI experienced a spin rate anomaly where the
magnetometer is aligned with the magnetic field such that the spin rate
cannot be calculated, and the spacecraft automatically entered and
stayed in idle mode until it was commanded otherwise half a day later.
The last time this occurred was a little over an year ago.
     The high voltage on detector 8 was lowered 4 counts to 2279 V and
remains segmented.
     After considering the expected times for THEMIS command operations
and David's schedule, annealing of the flight detectors is tentatively
scheduled to start on October 22 or November 5.
