Hi all,

I have looked at the orbit 0659 ATS file, IBEX_2024_234_o0659a_v001.scr and I approve.

 

The constraint violations in IBEX_2024_234_o0659a_v001.ccvr are from the removal of the ACT_SetSpinPulseProtectEnable Enable commands. The violations are acceptable.

 

The PL commands in IBEX_2024_234_o0659a_v001.scr match those in the STF, IBEX_2024_234_o0659a_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_234_o0659a_v001.oef and as verified with ibex_orbit.

 

There is 1 star tracker outage this orbit. Outage begins at 2024-08-22 03:11:54 and lasts for 7.4 hours. 

  

The ground station command sequences are correct and the timing and bit rates match those in the contacts file, IBEX_Orbit659_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 0658 left us pointing in safe directions for the orbit 0659 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:
