Hi all,
The angle at apogee descending is 4.069 deg after the sun maneuver.
The angle at Orbit 662 apogee after the sun maneuver is 4.911 deg.
I have looked at the orbit 0661 ATS file, IBEX_2024_253_o0661a_v001.scr and I approve.
The constraint violations in IBEX_2024_253_o0661a_v001.ccvr are from the removal of the ACT_SetSpinPulseProtectEnable Enable commands. The violations are acceptable.
The PL commands in IBEX_2024_253_o0661a_v001.scr match those in the STF, IBEX_2024_253_o0661a_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_253_o0661a_v001.oef
and as verified with ibex_orbit.
There are 2 star tracker outages this orbit. Outage begins at 2024-09-09 14:39:06 and lasts for 11.2 hours. Outage begins at 2024-09-12 02:23:56 and lasts for 158.9 hours.
The ground station command sequences are correct and the timing and bit rates match those in the contacts file, IBEX_Orbit661_Contacts.txt for all contacts (4).
No Battery Balancing this orbit.
The Inertial maneuver at perigee of orbit 0660 left us pointing in safe directions for the orbit 0661 arc A ascending and descending sequences:
