Hi all,

I have looked at the orbit 0650 ATS file, IBEX_2024_153_o0650a_v001.scr and I approve.

 

The constraint violations in IBEX_2024_153_o0650a_v001.ccvr are from the removal of the ACT_SetSpinPulseProtectEnable Enable commands and a battery drop contraint that is likely due to a model error. The violations are acceptable.

 

The PL commands in IBEX_2024_153_o0650a_v001.scr match those in the STF, IBEX_2024_153_o0650a_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_2024_153_o0650a_v001.oef and as verified with ibex_orbit.

 

There is 1 star tracker outage this orbit. Outage begins at 2024-06-10 20:25:10 and lasts for 4.9 hours. 

  

The ground station command sequences are correct and the timing and bit rates match those in the contacts file, IBEX_Orbit650_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 0649 left us pointing in safe directions for the orbit 0650 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:

I saw this violation IBX-CLC-015. I looked for any small eclipses or close transmitter times. We never drop to zero. I can’t explain why this is flagging other than maybe an MPS miscalculation.

 

IBX-CLC-015: Battery charge falls below minimum from 2024/06/02 04:43:00 UTC -

IBX-CLC-016: No command to enable spin pulse protection was found after
