It appears inevitable that the RHESSI spacecraft will be decommissioned on October 1 of this year. The Max Millennium program is supported by the RHESSI PI team, with NASA funding for RHESSI operations, which will end on this date.
In the near term, the Max Millennium team will continue to carry out all current functions: the Message of the Day, the Solar Physics E-Print Archive, Max Millennium News, the MMscience, MMmotd, and RHESSI_Data_Analysis mailing lists and archives, and all other functions of the Max Millennium website at Montana State University: http://solar.physics.montana.edu/max_millennium/.
The Max Millennium program, and the solar activity observing community as a whole, has long benefitted from the generosity of the volunteer Max Millennium Chief Observers. All current MM_COs have expressed their desire to continue in that role: Shaun Bloomfield (Northumbria University), Ying Li (Purple Mountain Observatory and Montana State University), Bill Marquette (Hello Research), Aoife McCloskey (Trinity College Dublin), and Ryan Milligan (University of Glasgow).
The last two decades have resoundingly demonstrated the value of multi-mission and multi-observatory coordination of solar activity and space weather observations. Powerful new facilities have come on line recently, and others will come in the next few years. Many of them have high-resolution and limited field of view, which motivate coordinated observation. We in the Max Millennium program will solicit support for continuing such coordination in the future.
