OCRs:

SIS OCR-65 (MOCR ACE-359): Disabling 6-8 Noisy Matrix Detector Strips

SIS OCR-64 did not succeed in completely quieting the noisy Matrix
detector strips that caused oscillation in the RTSW rates.

Per SIS Instrument Team direction, the FOT will disable the following
6 strips: M1AHV #29, 36, 48 and M1BHV #20, 24, 27.

If there is no improvement in the RTSW rates during the pass, the FOT
will disable 2 more strips: M1AGND #19 and M1BHV #42.

Note: The current plan is to implement SIS OCR-65 during the DOY 357
DSS-15 contact (BOT=20:30 UT).
