SATELLITE STATUS
================
No major problems were encountered during the last month.


MISSION PLANNING
================
The AO4 timeline runs through October 3, 1994.  Afterwards the first
AO5 observations will be inserted into the ROSAT mission timeline.
The first leg of the AO5 timeline will run through April, 11, 1995.
It is anticipated that the timeline will be available by the end
of August.


DATA RIGHTS of UNCOMPLETED PSPC OBSERVATIONS
============================================
In the last ROSAT NEWS it was stated that the guest observer program for
the PSPC detector had officially ended in early July. The small amount of
residual gas is left for a few Super TOO's (target of opportunity 
observations).
Therefore all high priority (A,B) PSPC observations, that could not be 
completed to at least 70 %, will now be officially closed. 
The closing date for still incomplete observations will be set to 
August 1, 1994. Thus these data will become public in August 1995
(but at least 1 year after data have been distributed). Possible 
additional time for  incomplete PSPC observations in connection with 
future Super TOO's are 'lucky extras', but do not influence the 
decision that data from now incomplete PSPC observations will become
public as stated above.


ROSAT WORKSHOP III at MPE on OCTOBER 26 and 27 
==============================================
As already announced, this year's ROSAT Workshop III will be held at 
MPE on October 26 and 27 (Wednesday & Thursday). The opportunity to 
present and discuss recent ROSAT results, to speak on data evaluation and 
interpretation issues with a large expert community is a unique chance. 
We therefore hope for a similar interest as experienced in the past two
years. 

To facilitate our planning, please fill the registration form in the 
annex, which you can also retrieve from the ROSAT Service Area 
(general/workshop.form).


NEW EXSAS/MIDAS RELEASE
=======================
A new release of EXSAS has been placed in the ROSAT Service Area and can
be retrieved from there. All EXSAS site managers registered with us have 
been notified how to do so.
