  Data End for BATSE
 TJD 11691 = 27 May 2000

Because of the bad decision by NASA upper management to end the GRO
mission (because one of three gyros failed), the BATSE detector modules
were turned off during the packet ending  TJD/SoD 11691/00056.05;
it could be said that the detectors were turned off at approximately
55 seconds after the start of TJD 11691.  Quality flag 50 indicating
high voltage off was added manually (because the telemetry bit(s) that
indicate whether the high voltage is on or off is not affected by the
command to turn off the modules) for the interval
  11691/00056.05 - 11691/86399.99
and for the entire days following TJD 11691 for which any data were
received.  Some data were received afterward with count rates of zero.
Only the housekeeping data were valid.

The last trigger, number 8121, a cosmic GRB, occurred at
  TJD/SoD 11690/36093.
