Dear ASCA users: Please find the short-term ASCA observation schedule for the period of July 3-15. Note that the ISAS Mars mission, Planet-B is scheduled to be launched on July 3. We will attempt to keep ASCA observations as stationary as possible during the launching window, i.e., July 3-10, however some effects to other ISAS missions would be inevitably expected during the launching operation of Planet-B.
