Good afternoon team,
During the first perigee contact, we tried to set the spacecraft time and noticed that the GPS time switched to 605035, which set us to January
13, 1980. Shortly after that, we had a star tracker reset. We tried running the set spacecraft time script again and it set us back to the same GPS time value. We switched over to IBEX-3 and ran the script again and the GPS time changed to the right value.
The quaternions also updated, and we were able to verify the maneuver. During the second perigee contact, everything seemed nominal, and we were able to clear the start tracker reset errors and dump SSR (VCid2).
