[Isocops] IBEX Orbit# 125 v001 ATS - approve

All,
	I have looked at the Orbit 125 ATS v001 
(IBEX_2011_133_00_00_v001.txt) and I approve.

	The portentious "PL mode unknown" constraint violation 
messages appear near the beginning of the orbit, as always. I worry 
more about this now than I used to. No other violations. Ascending 
BUS and PL commands begin about 3 minutes before 10 Re.

	The PL commands in the ATS v001 match the STF v001 file 
(IBEX_2011_133_08_56_v001.stf), per Ken's script (Thanks, Ken!).

	PL ascending and descending operations make sense WRT 15 Re 
ascending and descending times respectively.

	No Moon in -Lo FOV PMT setback commands and none needed per the .oef.

	Ground station contact times match S/C transmitter-on times 
for all 3 contacts.

	No battery cell balancing this odd-numbered orbit.

	Inertial sun-pointing maneuver at the end of this orbit 
leaves us pointing safe directions at conclusion of the maneuver, at 
the following ascending time, and at the descending time following 
that.
