SIGNIFICANT EVENTS:
 The COS FUV Special Recovery activities (proposal 12810 visits 26 - 27) successfully completed 
today without incident.  The FUV was ramped to -5293V for segment A (178 counts) and -5246V (175 
count) for B, these are the "normal" HV levels.  The QE grid was on.   No elevated counts or HV 
current transients were observed in the engineering telemetry during or after the ramp.  The STScI 
and MOSES2 Engineering Teams have examined the relevant telemetry and confirmed all voltages, 
currents and temperatures were as expected. The voltage and current monitors matched the signatures 
seen in SMOV.  The COS Science Team at STScI has examined the science data and DCE memory dumps and 
everything is nominal.  No HV current transients or unexpected elevated count rates were observed 
in the DCE memory dumps. The science data consisted of 2 sets of dark and wavecal exposures. The 
exposures were collected immediately after ramping to HVNom (178/175).  Comparisons with SMOV data 
taken indicates comparable behavior when the aging of the detector and temporal fluctuations are 
considered.  The Engineering and Science Teams have given a “Go” to resume normal FUV HV 
activities.  The COS event flag 3 was cleared @164/15:30 via OR 19271.  Many thanks to all who help 
investigate, test, plan and successfully execute the FUV HV Recovery.  Next FUV HV activity is 
currently schedule for 165/13:10 as part of proposal 12716 (FUV Detector Dark Monitor)
