• Being back on sun the week before RSW SO opens: RSW open on 03/11 that means we need to be back ideally on 03/05 with S&B on 03/03+4 (+/- 1 day or so) - the first co-observing is planned on the 03/12 ; we are never ready on the first day of S&B would be only on 03/10+11!

• Interlaced Cycle 3 observing start with co-observing with SO at least until the week of April 21 ….

• Co-observing during PSPE23: first of two closest ever encounters (also: MLSO/UCOMP will be running!). The one in March 03/21 is the highest priority ; this will require to be on sun the entire weekend (Sat+Sun, Mar. 22-23) including days prior and after.

• Preparations for release of the Cycle 4 Proposal Call in full swing ; release date of call will be mid May ; we are not going to be able to do this earlier.

Technical Ops

• Enclosure cable wrap Hose replacement (might bring forward depending on Siemens contract)

• Enclosure azimuth drive tuning with Siemens tech on site (stuck in contracting hell)

• Thermal System review (stuck in contracting hell)

• Spring Maintenance (all the big movers usually 3 weeks in Mar. / April)

• Annual Electrical Panel Maint. Shutdown (first week of Jan)

• PV Breaker Tie in (maybe along with the above or later depending on DLNR permit / contracting)

• Enclosure Aperture Investigation testing

• Chiller 5 & 6 servicing (1 week non-concurrent)

• Cycle / Cadence 6d/w typical, 9 week cycle of 2 maint, 1 S&B + CO2 clean + start of on-sun, 6 weeks Obs with 2 days for CO2 clean.

Instrumentation Ops

• M7 alignment check

• Instrument full checkout after extensive upgrades

• If possible: VISPOPS-338

• If possible: High-speed camera [vibrometer setup modification [MPS]]

• If possible: Durham turbulence profiler install

Data Center

• Complete DL-NIRSP Pipeline and process data

• Implement ACP to VISP pipeline.

• Complete update of application tracing to add new tracing library

• Integrate new Ceph metrics into observability framework

• Complete Experiment Architect templating for at least one instrument

EHS

We want to have Maui Fire up for a site tour as part of our Emergency Action Planning. Open to any windows during engineering. Not during the larger tours as I would need one on one time with them.
