CDS INSTRUMENT: 
  An FFCAL (NIS flat field calibration) was started at 20:12 UT.  However,
since the planner ran the wrong study (FFCAL3 instead of FFCAL5), it had to
be aborted early at 21:36 UT.
  The plan upload at 22:54 UT was aborted after telemetry was lost for
several minutes due to possible RFI.  A number of commands failed to
transmit.  The script was rerun at 23:26 UT and plan was loaded without
incident.

  Defered command store was disabled at 23:02 UT.
  CDS Doors were shut for S/C maneuvers at 23:05 UT.
  FOT disabled the ESR flag for CDS at 23:13 UT.
  A Secondary reboot was completed at 02:00 UT (DOY 090).
  A Mechanism Lubrication was completed at 03:10 UT (DOY 090).
CDS GROUND SYSTEM: 
  The following raster durations  were changed:
    NISAT_S5    rid/ 71    var/2    3777s - 3830s
    GIWEMT5     rid/ 72    var/3     637s -  641s
    O_LOOP11    rid/210    var/1     620s -  625s
    MPAE_3      rid/242    var/1    3600s - 3620s
DAY PLAN: Science Operations, Close Doors for S/C maneuvers, Reboot, Lube.
COMMENTS: It was discovered that no science occurred over the previous 
weekend (March 20-21 DOY 80-81).  It was only noticed this late because of
the gaps caused by the keyhole and the continuous reprocessing of data (qkl, 
realtime, and level zero).  Operator failed to import the the weekend plan
before the planner ran XCPT.  This accounts for the emergency study kicking
off and running until Monday ~00:00 UT.
