Thanks, Jody.  Ralph and company will be happy with our report.  Its nice when we can make someone else’s job easier without affecting the quality of net outcomes.

Hi Harlan,

The restriction of seven slews per day of 5° or more, and one large slew (>20°) per orbit, aren't new.   All of our slews will be large slews, but we only do one slew per orbit anyways, so the latter restriction isn't a problem.  During target-quiet periods when other instruments don't need any slews, we could potentially get in several slews in a single day.

Regarding all the checks that have to be done before a slew is approved - the new added complexity supports our case of asking the MOT to just fit in our simple fixed-angle horizon slews whenever the opportunity presents itself, just like they do for pulser sequences and used to do for the 90° cal slews.

All,

   We just received the following document for review regarding LRO slew requirements.   I suspect Jody will have the most informed comments, but  other inputs are welcomed, too.  The want our comments back by this Friday.  See attached...

Thanks, - Harlan

My apologies for missing you two gentleman as reviewers of the upcoming Slew Requirements document.  I had some email issues…
 
Francisco and Apurva wanted the science team leads to review and provide comments to this internal, draft version of the LRO Slew Requirements document.  If possible, please have your teams’ review this document provide a single set of comments by the end of the week.
 
Thanks very much for your understanding of this last-minute request.  Please LMK if your group will have any issues meeting the end of Friday, Nov 6, deadline.
