All,
	I have looked at the Orbit 156 ATS v001

IBEX_2012_044_o0156a_v001.txt

and I approve.

	No constraint violations per .ccvr file:

IBEX_2012_034_o0155a_v001.ccvr

	The PL commands in the ATS v001 match the STF v002

IBEX_2012_043_o0156a_v002.stf

per Ken's script (thanks!).

	PL ascending and descending operations make sense with 
respect to 15 Re ascending, Apogee, and 15 Re descending times from

IBEX_2012_044_o0156a_v001.oef

	Moon in -Lo FOV occurs for the last 1 hour 20 minutes of the 
first arc and for another 2 hours 20 minutes, but no -Lo setback 
commands. This is probably OK, the setback commands are usually 
inside the .oef prediction of Moon in FOV.
	Moon in -Lo FOV during second arc is reflected by .ATS 
commands; ATS lags 3 and 5 hours behind (for a 24-hour Moon-in-FOV) 
.oef predictions, within normal tolerances.

	Ground station contact times and rates per

IBEX_Orbit156Contacts_v001.txt

match S/C commands for all 4 contacts.

	Battery cell balancing this orbit, as expected.  FALSE 
command is second as appropriate, duration is 1.5 hours.

	Inertial maneuver at the end of orbit 155 left us pointing in 
a safe direction for ascending and descending macros during first 
half of orbit (but as usual, we have left ourselves very little 
margin if the apogee maneuver does not go off; angle at apogee 
contact will be 7.195 degrees):

Macros.

	-Lo O-mode Commands (plans 7,7,1,1 and 6,7,1,1) during first arc only.

	No overlap to orbit 155 apparent by manual check; reference 
to http://ibex.unh.edu/cgi-bin/ats.cgi doesn't show Orbit 156 
commands read in yet (due to web machine disk problems?).

	Command Approval Checklist attached.

	O-mode checklist attached.

	-Hi Neg collimator voltage back to operating at nominal voltage.
