All,
	I have looked at the Orbit 188 ATS v002

IBEX_2012_334_o0188a_v002.txt

	and I approve.

	One constraint violation per .ccvr file:

IBEX_2012_334_o0188a_v001.ccvr

	low battery state caused by eclipse, as expected.

	The PL commands in the ATS v002 file match those in the STF

IBEX_2012_334_o0188a_v001.stf

	according to Ken's script (thanks!).

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

IBEX_2012_321_o0188a_v001.oef

	Star tracker outage for first 15 hours of first arc ascending 
science operations; should not affect ramp-up but may require 
de-spinning.

	Eclipse operations near perigee, after descending for second arc.

	Moon in -LO FOV during second arc; .stf commands are 
concentric with .oef times by 3 and 4 hours start and stop for a 
31-hour Moon in FOV period.

	Ground station contact commands match contact times in Contacts file

IBEX_2012_Orbit188_v002.caf

	for all 3 contacts. No contacts during eclipse. Post Eclipse 
pass on 12/8 overlaps LongEclipseFlag TRUE operation by 17 minutes, 
but begins 28 minutes after eclipse ends.

	Battery cell balancing unavoidable due to eclipse operations. 
FALSE command is the second command, as appropriate.

	Sun-pointing maneuver at the end of orbit 187 left us 
pointing in a safe direction for ascending and descending macros 
during first half of orbit:

	No -Lo O-mode Commands.

	No overlap to orbit 187 commands apparent by manual check or

	Command Approval Checklist coming soon.

	-Hi Neg collimator back to operating at nominal voltage.
