[vsnet-grb 165] Label changes in HETE Notices

[vxw@capella.gsfc.nasa.gov (Bacodine)]

TO:  All GCN Sites Receiving HETE Notices
RE:  Names changes for the GCN/HETE Notice types
DT:  18 Jun 01

My apologies to those sites receiving this announcement that do not
receive HETE Notices.  It is a fair amount of work to filter this admin
message on the same criteria that the GCN Notices get filtered.

The HETE Operations Team would like to change the names of the 4 types
of Notices that are generated for the mission.  The old names and new names
are shown below.  Actually, only the first 3 (of 4) are changing their names;
the Ground Analysis Notice is keeping the same name.

The purpose of the name change is to more clearly communicate:
1)  the distinction that the first 3 come from the on-board flight software
(as opposed to the messages that come from the Ops Team on the ground),  and
2) that the "Final" is not really the 'final' message in the process,
but merely the 'last' of the on-board generated messages.

OLD        NEW
=====      ==========
Alert  ==> S/C_Alert
Update ==> S/C_Update
Final  ==> S/C_Last 
GndAna ==> GndAna

These label changes will take place in all the various email-based formats
(email, pager, & cellphone) and in the website table
(http://gcn.gsfc.nasa.gov/gcn/hete_grbs.html).  My apologies to any sites
that have built up explicit filtering based on the Notice type field.

The change will take place on Wednesday, 20 Jun 01.

Sincerely,
Scott Barthelmy
GCN Ops
