Chelle,
sorry, my previous email was not too clear. The second set of
sun angles was determined assuming that the SC was pointed directly
at the sun at the maneuver start time (as you list below). So the
fact that that set stays < 6.5 degrees means even with a 1-degree off
sun-pointing at the start (not end) of the maneuver I think means we
are Ok in worst case.
I used:
ibex_rotate -o -r +95.447 -d +23.358 ibex-sun -t 2010-06-26T20:50:36.000Z
To get the sun vector at the time of the maneuver, then
ibex_rotate -o -r +95.447 -d +23.358 ibex-sun -t 2010-07-01T14:00:00.000Z
ibex_rotate -o -r +95.447 -d +23.358 ibex-sun -t 2010-07-01T24:00:00.000Z
ibex_rotate -o -r +95.447 -d +23.358 ibex-sun -t 2010-07-03T15:00:00.000Z
to get the lower set of numbers, ending at 6.491 degrees.

Large Asteroids headed toward planets
inhabited by beings that don't have
technology adequate to stop them:
Think of it as Evolution in Fast-Forward.
