IBEX_Orbit474_Contacts.txt,
for all contacts (3).
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 473 left us pointing in safe directions for the orbit 474 arc A ascending and descending sequences:
