Hi all,

 

The Angle at orbit 493 apogee after the perigee sun precession maneuver: 4.600 deg

 

I have looked at the orbit 491 ATS files: IBEX_2020_176_o0492a_BUS_v001.scr, IBEX_2020_176_o0492a_INST_v001.scr and I approve.

 

The constraint violations in IBEX_2020_176_o0492a_BUS_v001.ccvr and IBEX_2020_176_o0492a_INST_v001.ccvr relate to the removal of the ACT_SetSpinPulseProtectEnable Enable commands (2).

 

The PL commands in IBEX_2020_176_o0492a_INST_v001.scr match those in the v002 STF (IBEX_2020_176_o0492a_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 by the OEF IBEX_2020_176_o0492a_BUS_v001.oef and verified with ibex_orbit.

 

There is one star tracker outage. The outage starts about 3.5 hours after 15 Re descending and runs for about 13 minutes. 

 

The ground station command sequences are correct and the timing and bit rates match those in the contacts file IBEX_Orbit492_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 precession maneuver at perigee of orbit 491 left us pointing in safe directions for the orbit 492 arc A ascending and descending sequences:

 

ibex_rotate -o -u -0.019289,0.920861,0.389413  -w ibex-sun -t 2020/06:25:03:16:26

No Lo O-mode.

 

There is no overlap with orbit 491 commands by manual inspection or by checking at http://ibex.unh.edu/cgi-bin/ats.cgi.

 

Command approval checklist is attached.

All,

   Attached are the planning files for Orbit #492

Please respond to this thread with comments and approvals.  

Approvals are required by COB on 01 June 2020

 

Please note the following:

  1. I generated 3 separate ATS files BUS, INST and a complete file. The BUS and INST will be the files to be uplinked. The complete ATS, I used as a sanity check to see how the commands lined up. Since we are in a new phase of ATS generation. IF you have any ideas of doing this differently, let me know.

 

  1. The 3 ATS files have been changed to word  files and encrypted. I will send out another email with the password. The files that have been transferred via MFT have not been encrypted and are still text files.  

 

  1. I moved the 2 House Keeping commands from the INST ATS to the BUS ATS. I commented out the 2 commands in the INST ATS. If for some reason we were unable to uplink the INST Commands for this orbit, we would have been in the wrong spacecraft state for executing the maneuver commands.
