Hi all,

I have looked at the orbit 0538 ATS file, IBEX_2021_230_o0538a_v001.scr and I approve.

 

The constraint violations in IBEX_2021_230_o0538a_v001.ccvr are from the removal of the ACT_SetSpinPulseProtectEnable Enable commands. The violations are acceptable.

 

The PL commands in IBEX_2021_230_o0538a_v001.scr match those in the STF, IBEX_2021_230_o0538a_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_2021_230_o0538a_v001.oef and as verified with ibex_orbit.

 

There are 1 star tracker outages this orbit. Outage begins the day after perigee and lasts for ~30 hours.

  

The ground station command sequences are correct and the timing and bit rates match those in the contacts file, IBEX_Orbit538_Contacts.txt for all contacts (2).

 

No Battery Balancing this orbit

 

The Inertial maneuver at perigee of orbit 0537 left us pointing in safe directions for the orbit 0538 arc A ascending and descending sequences:

The inertial precession maneuver at apogee leaves us pointing in safe directions at the time of the maneuver and for arc B ascending and descending sequences:

The inertial precession maneuver at perigee leaves us pointing in safe directions at the time of the maneuver and at orbit 0539 apogee:

There is an overlap with orbit 537 commands with the end of the 537 contact overlapping with setting the science state in 538. This is acceptable.

 

Command Approval Checklist is attached.
