MW 602

Mission week 601 starts with a continuation of the symmetric +/- 50 degree rocking profile from the previous week. At 01:15 UT on DOY 346 there is a 10-minute freeze observation while an update +/- 50 degree profile is loaded. Then, in response to the rising bet angle, on DOY 349 at 13:15 UT another 10-minute freeze is performed to load a -50/+60 degree profile. Finally, on DOY 352 at 11:04 UT, a third freeze observation is performed and a -50 degree modified sine profile is loaded, which will continue through the end of the mission week. Note that positive rock angles are south, and negative angles are north. (updated: 20-Nov-2019)

MW 603

Mission week 603 is all at high negative beta and begins with a brief continuation of the -50 degree modified sine profile from MW602. At DOY 353 01:15:00 UT a 10 minute inertial pointing is used to update the modified sine profile. The updated profile is used through the remainder of the mission week. (updated: 27-Nov-2019)

MW 604

Mission week 604 starts with a continuation of the modified sine profile from the previous week. At At 01:27 on day of year 360 (Dec 26) there is a 10 minute freeze observation during which an updated modified sine profile is loaded. Due to the high absolute beta angle (angle between the orbit plane and the Sun) the survey repeat period is 5716 s rather than the usual 5713 s to maintain better phasing with orbit day/night Note that positive rock angles are south, and negative angles are north.
