Return to Operations?

Randy

  • Reminder: three committees for COVID situation: COC, CAC, CEC

Afternoon Checkouts

Jim

  • This is based on feedback about Jim coordination document.

  • Should SAs start to do instrument and guider checkouts?

  • Will need another status (ready to check out, checked out)

  • Extra workload for SAs who had late support (e.g. split night, AO)

  • Can we schedule afternoon fills (day crew wait as long as possible now)?

  • Which instruments are filled more than once per day? LRIS and ESI. Others are no more than once per day (i.e. DEIMOS, NIRES, HIRES reserve).

  • Have instruments filed as early as possible in the day to eliminate late fills.
