MW 568

Mission Week 568 continues the modified sine rocking profile used at the end of the previous mission week following the transition to high beta angle. The rocking profile has an amplitude of +50 degrees in orbit day and a fixed -50 degree rock angle during orbit night. A 10 minute freeze observation begins DOY 108 at 12:50UT to load an updated modified sine profile. This profile continues through the end of the mission week. (updated: 12-Apr-2019)

MW 569

Mission Week 569 starts with a continuation of the modified sine rocking profile from the previous week. The profile has a sine amplitude of +50 degrees during spacecraft day, and a fixed rock of -50 degrees during spacecraft night. On day of year 115 (Mar 25) at 01:44 there is a 10 minute freeze observation during which an updated profile is loaded. This continues until DOY 117 (Mar 27) at 06:11 when there is a 10 minute freeze observation during which a +50/-60 two orbit repeat period profile is loaded. That profile continues until DOY 120 (Apr. 30) at 13:30 when there is another 10 minute freeze observation to load a symmetric +/-50 degree two orbit repeat profile. This profile continues until the end of the week. Note that positive rock angles are south, and negative angles are north. (updated: 03-Apr-2019)

MW 570

Mission Week 570 starts with a continuation of the +/-50 degree two orbit profile from the end of MW569. A 10 minute freeze IP to load an updated +/-50 degree profile begins at DOY 122 00:50UTC. The updated profile is used through the remainder of the mission week. The beta angle range for MW570 is +9.67deg to -5.94deg. (updated: 11-Apr-2019)
