Dr. Mark Hurwitz, the CHIPS Principal Investigator, announced today that the CHIPS observatory passed the "minimum science criteria" in December 2003. These criteria correspond to measuring 25 independent spectra with exceptional sensitivity to diffuse extreme ultraviolet emission lines. The criteria were set at a time when the CHIPS spectrograph had 9 diffraction grating channels. Although a subsequent "de-scope" reduced this number to 6, the science criteria were not relaxed. Several publications documenting the CHIPS results are in progress and will be submitted for review shortly.
