All,
 
I have looked at the orbit 530 ATS files,
 
IBEX_2021_157_o0530a_BUS_v002.scr
 
and
 
IBEX_2021_157_o0530a_INST_v002.scr,
 
and I approve.
 
The only constraint violations in
 
IBEX_2021_157_o0530a_BUS_v002.ccvr
 
and
 
IBEX_2021_157_o0530a_INST_v002.ccvr
 
are from the removal of the
 
ACT_SetSpinPulseProtectEnable Enable
 
commands (2) and the eclipse; the violations are expected.
 
The PL commands in
 
IBEX_2021_157_o0530a_INST_v002.scr
 
match those in the v003 STF,
 
IBEX_2021_157_o0530a_v003.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_2021_157_o0530a_BUS_v002.oef,
 
and as verified with ibex_orbit.

There is one star tracker outage.  The outage starts about 2 hours after 15 Re descending and runs for about 10 hours.  No despinning should be required due to this outage.
 
The ground station command sequences are correct and the timing and bit rates match those in the contacts file,
 
IBEX_Orbit530_Contacts.txt,
 
for all contacts (3).
 
There is an eclipse late in arc A so we aren't doing battery cell balancing.  The timing of the long eclipse flag commands matches Ryan's recommendations; they were relative to the eclipse start and end.
 
The inertial precession maneuver at perigee of orbit 529 left us pointing in safe directions for the orbit 530 arc A ascending and descending sequences:

All,

   Attached are the planning files for Orbit #530. Please respond to this thread with comments and approvals.  

Approvals are required by COB on 27 May 2021.

 

Please note the following:

  1. I have 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.
