Hi all,

The angle at descending after the apogee sun maneuver is 3.961 degrees and the angle at the Orbit 605 apogee after doing the perigee sun maneuver is 4.953 degrees.

I have looked at the orbit 0604 ATS file, IBEX_2023_099_o0604a_v002.scr and I approve.

The constraint violations in IBEX_2023_099_o0604a_v002.ccvr are from the removal of the ACT_SetSpinPulseProtectEnable Enable commands. The violations are acceptable.

The PL commands in IBEX_2023_099_o0604a_v002.scr match those in the STF, IBEX_2023_099_o0604a_v004.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_v002.oef and as verified with ibex_orbit.

There is 1 star tracker outage this orbit. It lasts for ~9.5 hours over the perigee maneuver window.

The ground station command sequences are correct and the timing and bit rates match those in the contacts file, IBEX_Orbit604_Contacts_v2.txt for all contacts (3).

No Battery Balancing this orbit.

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