Hi all,

The angle at desceding after the apogee sun maneuver is 4.122 deg.

 

I have looked at the orbit 0629 ATS file, IBEX_2023_326_o0629a_v001.scr and I approve.

 

The constraint violations in IBEX_2023_326_o0629a_v001.ccvr are from the removal of the ACT_SetSpinPulseProtectEnable Enable commands. The violations are acceptable.

 

The PL commands in IBEX_2023_326_o0629a_v001.scr match those in the STF, IBEX_2023_326_o0629a_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_326_o0629a_v001.oef and as verified with ibex_orbit.

 

There are 2 star tracker outages this orbit. First outage begins at 2023-11-25 02:33:45 and lasts for 39.0 hours. Second outage begins at 2023-11-29 01:17:15 and lasts for 7.3 hours. 

  

The ground station command sequences are correct and the timing and bit rates match those in the contacts file, IBEX_Orbit629_Contacts.txt for all contacts (3).

 

Battery Balancing is 90 minutes long, more than 2 hours away from payload descending macros, and more than 15 minutes away from a maneuver.

 

The Inertial maneuver at perigee of orbit 0628 left us pointing in safe directions for the orbit 0629 arc A ascending and descending sequences:
