Hi Ken, et. al,
Please replace myself with Reese Wynn on IBEX-related emails (copied on this email).
My last day at Northrop is today.
Reese is taking over PM responsibilities.
Thanks,
Sean

Subject: EXT :Re: IBEX Orbit #478 ATS Approval (20 - 29 Feb 2020) - v001 approval
All,
I have looked at the orbit 478 ATS,
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:
ibex_rotate -o -u 0.881653,-0.428831,-0.196956 -w ibex-sun -t 2020/02:20:13:54:14
