[Isocops] .STF file

[Mark Tapley]

All,
	looked over the .STF file produced this morning. If the 
repointing maneuver is done according to the predictive .oef file:

IBEX_2010_Forecast_18June10-30Sept10_v001.oef

it'll look about like:

2010-07-05T06:26:28.067Z,RepointingTargetVector,vtsX:-0.2251425321231968,orbit:84,vtsZ:0.387883331407774,vtsY:0.8937882083833745


So off I go to ibex_rotate

Looks like the PL will be safe from the time of the maneuver until 
the descending time (good), if the actual repointing is done before 
the ASC macros run during the preceding perigee pass.

There's no star tracker outage during science operations.

It looks good to me.
