I approve IBEX_2020_250_o0500a_BUS_v001.scr for uplink during the next apogee contact on August 23.

I approve IBEX_2020_250_o0500a_INST_v002.scr for uplink when space to store the 46 commands onboard is available.

Note: this orbit’s perigee is > 14 Re so 15 Re and 16 Re transitions are used to derive activity times rather than 14 Re and 15 Re.

Thanks,
Nigel

All,
   Attached are the planning files for Orbit #500
Please respond to this thread with comments and approvals.  
Approvals are required by COB on 22 August 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.

6.       Perigee Contacts data rate has changed  from 160k to 64k in MPS. Considering  we have been able to change the data rate from 64k to 160k in the past couple orbits. I decided to plan with the initial data rate of 64k and we will change it to 160k at AOS. Below are the 2 contacts in question.
