Hi all,

I have looked at the orbit 0604 ATS file, IBEX_2023_099_o0604a_v001.scr and I approve.

 

The constraint violations in IBEX_2023_099_o0604a_v001.ccvr are from the removal of the ACT_SetSpinPulseProtectEnable Enable commands. The violations are acceptable.

 

The PL commands in IBEX_2023_099_o0604a_v001.scr match those in the STF, IBEX_2023_099_o0604a_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_2023_099_o0604a_v001.oef and as verified with ibex_orbit.

 

There is 1 star tracker outage this orbit. It lasts for ~8.8 hours and ends ~.8 hours before the perigee maneuver.

 

The ground station command sequences are correct and the timing and bit rates match those in the contacts file, IBEX_Orbit604_Contacts.txt for all contacts (3).

 

No Battery Balancing this orbit.

 

The Inertial maneuver at perigee of orbit 0603 left us pointing in safe directions for the orbit 0604 arc A ascending and descending sequences:
