IBEX_2020_051_o0478a_v001.scr,

and I approve.

The only constraint violations in

IBEX_2020_051_o0478a_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_2020_051_o0478a_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_2020_051_o0478a_v001.oef,

and as verified with ibex_orbit.

There are no star tracker outages.

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

IBEX_Orbit478_Contacts.txt,

for all contacts (4).

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

The inertial maneuver at perigee of orbit 477 left us pointing in safe directions for the orbit 478 arc A ascending and descending sequences:
