All,
I have looked at the Orbit 134a ATS v003
IBEX_2011_208_o0134a_v003.txt
and I approve.
No constraint violations, except a battery SOC warning which
Ryan's analysis shows is overstated - operating normally through the
eclipse should be fine.
The PL commands in the ATS v003 match the STF v001 files
IBEX_2011_199_o0133a_v001.stf
per Ken's script (Thanks, Ken!).
PL ascending and descending operations make sense with
respect to 15 Re ascending, Apogee, and 15 Re descending times from
IBEX_2011_208_o0134a_v001.oef
respectively.
No Moon in -Lo FOV PMT setback commands and none needed per the .oef.
No ground station contact times not sent; commands in ATS
look OK assuming the ground contact times match.
1 Battery cell balancing Cycle at a good time, > 1 hour from anything.
Inertial maneuver at the end of orbit 133 left us pointing in
a safe direction for ascending and descending macros during first
half of orbit:

No O-mode this orbit.
(-Lo gain test in file IBEX_2011_Orbit133_LoGainTest_v001.txt
runs just before descending at final perigee in orbit 133 and is
clear of other operations; commands match -Lo STF per Ken's script;
approval sent last week as part of O133 approval and resent
separately.)
No overlaps to orbit 133. I have not checked
http://ibex.unh.edu/cgi-bin/ats.cgi, however.
No Command Approval Checklist tonight.
