All, 

I have looked at the orbit 236 ATS, 

IBEX_2014_040_o0236a_v001.scr, 

and I approve. 

There are no constraint violations in 

IBEX_2014_040_o0236a_v001.ccvr. 

The PL commands in the v001 ATS match those in the v004 STF, 

IBEX_2014_040_o0236a_v004.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, 

IBEX_2014_040_o0236a_v001.oef, 

and as verified with ibex_orbit. 

The Hi ABAB command sequences and timing look reasonable. 

There is one star tracker outage. It starts about 1 day before apogee and runs for about 3 1/2 days. Some despinning may be required due to this outage. 

There are no moon in Lo FOV sessions. 

The ground station command sequence is correct and the timing and bit rate match those in the contacts file, 

IBEX_Orbit236Contacts.txt, 

for the apogee contact. All other contacts will be blind acquisitions while we are doing Hi ABAB operations. 

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 235 left us pointing in safe directions for orbit 236 arc A ascending and descending sequences: 

ibex_rotate -o -u 0.774672,-0.535209,-0.336799 -w ibex-sun -t 2014/02:09:21:10:17

The sun precession maneuver at apogee leaves us pointing in safe directions at the time of the maneuver and for arc B ascending and descending sequences:

The inertial maneuver at perigee leaves us pointing in safe directions at the time of the maneuver and at orbit 237 apogee: 

ibex_rotate -o -u 0.863639,-0.41579,-0.285036 -w ibex-sun -t 2014/02:17:22:56:47

Lo O-mode for a 24 hour period in arc B ( plan 6,7,1,1). 

There is no overlap with orbit 235 commands by manual inspection or by checking at
