All, 


I have looked at the orbit 218 ATS, 


IBEX_2013_240_o0218a_v001.scr, 


and I approve. 


There are no constraint violations in 


IBEX_2013_240_o0218a_v001.ccvr. 


The PL commands in the v001 ATS match those in the v002 STF, 


IBEX_2013_240_o0218a_v002.stf. 


Ascending and descending command sequences are consistent with each other and 15 Re ascending, the apogee maneuver time and 15 Re descending as determined from the OEF file, 


IBEX_2013_240_o0218a_v001.oef, 


and as verified with ibex_orbit. 


There is one star tracker outage. It starts about 45 minutes before perigee and ends about 4 1/2 hours after perigee. No despinning should be required due to this outage. 


There is one short moon in Lo FOV session in arc A. The session is only about 48 minutes long and the start and stop events do not appear in the OEF. 


The ground station command sequences are correct and the timing and bit rates match those in the contacts file, 


IBEX_Orbit218Contacts.txt, 


for all contacts (2). 


We are doing battery cell balancing this orbit and the balancing commands are correct and offset by enough time from other commands. 


The inertial maneuver at perigee of orbit 217 left us pointing in safe directions for orbit 218 arc A ascending and descending sequences: 



ibex_rotate -o -u -0.892247,0.418168,0.170381 -w ibex-sun -t 2013/08:29:07:12:25

No Lo O-mode. 


There is no overlap with orbit 217 commands by manual inspection or by checking at
