Kadi archive

The Kadi archive consists of the following integrated elements which allow for easy access and manipulation of events and commands related to the Chandra X-ray Observatory:

Database of Chandra events

  • Events in telemetry such as maneuvers, NPM dwells, obsids, mech movements, momentum dumps, orbit events, etc.

  • CAPs, DSN passes, dark cals, SCS107, safe modes, bright star hold, etc

  • Chandra major events since launch

Archive of Chandra commands

  • Every load command run on-board since 2002, with a link to source load products.

  • Select non-load commands which result from either autonomous on-board commanding (e.g. SCS-107) or real-time ground commanding (e.g. anomaly recovery).

  • Framework to dynamically generate the commanded state(s) of Chandra (a.k.a. load continuity) based on those mission loads and non-load commands.

Python API for accessing events and commands for analysis and using with the Ska engineering archive.

Python tools to maintain the Kadi database on the HEAD and Greta networks.

Web site for browsing events on the icxc site. This

uses the Django web framework to provide query and administrative capabilities.
