All,


Note: Angle at orbit 434 arc B descending after the apogee sun precession maneuver: 4.177 deg


I have looked at the orbit 434 ATS,


IBEX_2019_014_o0434a_v001.scr,


and I approve.


The only constraint violations in


IBEX_2019_014_o0434a_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_2019_014_o0434a_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_2019_014_o0434a_v001.oef,


and as verified with ibex_orbit.


There are two star tracker outages; they overlap.  The first outage starts 1.5 days before apogee.  The total outage time is about 4.5 days.  Some despinning may be required due to the outages.


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


IBEX_Orbit434_Contacts.txt,


for all contacts (3).


We are not doing battery cell balancing this orbit; we'll do it again in the next orbit.


The inertial maneuver at perigee of orbit 433 left us pointing in safe directions for the orbit 434 arc A ascending and descending sequences:

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:
