Hi all,

 

There is a moderate eclipse on 2022-11-25 that lasts for 1.2 hours. The long eclipse flag is set 2 hours before it begins and ends 15 minutes after it ends, per the requirements from Ryan Tyler.

 

I have looked at the orbit 0588 ATS file, IBEX_2022_320_o0588a_v001.scr and I approve.

 

The constraint violations in IBEX_2022_320_o0588a_v001.ccvr are from the removal of the ACT_SetSpinPulseProtectEnable Enable commands and the battery charge falling below the minimum during the eclipse. The violations are acceptable.

 

The PL commands in IBEX_2022_320_o0588a_v001.scr match those in the STF, IBEX_2022_320_o0588a_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_2022_320_o0588a_v001.oef and as verified with ibex_orbit.

 

There is 1 star tracker outage this orbit.  It last for ~87 hours through apogee resulting in an apogee sun maneuver.

 

The ground station command sequences are correct and the timing and bit rates match those in the contacts file, IBEX_Orbit588_Contacts_v002.txt for all contacts (3).

 

The Inertial maneuver at perigee of orbit 0587 left us pointing in safe directions for the orbit 0588 arc A ascending and descending sequences:

The Sun 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 0589 apogee:
