All,
Note: Angle at orbit 424 arc B descending after the apogee sun precession maneuver: 4.007 deg
Angle at orbit 425 apogee after the perigee sun precession maneuver: 4.748 deg
I have looked at the orbit 424 ATS,
IBEX_2018_289_o0424a_v001.scr,
and I approve.
The only constraint violations in
IBEX_2018_289_o0424a_v001_.ccvr
are from the removal of the
ACT_SetSpinPulseProtectEnable Enable
commands (2); the violations are expected.
The PL commands in the v001 ATS match those in the v002 STF,
IBEX_2018_289_o0424a_v002.stf.
Ascending and descending command sequences are consistent with each other, 15 Re ascending, the apogee maneuver time and 15 Re descending as determined from the OEF,
IBEX_2018_289_o0424a_v001.oef,
and as verified with ibex_orbit.
There are two star tracker outages. The first starts 2+ days after 15 Re ascending and runs for almost 4 days. The second starts 1- days before 15 Re descending and runs for about 1 day. Some despinning may be required due to these outages.
The ground station command sequences are correct and the timing and bit rates match those in the contacts file,
IBEX_Orbit424_Contacts.txt,
for all contacts (4).
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 423 left us pointing in safe directions fore the orbit 424 arc A ascending and descending sequences:
