MW 559

Mission Week 559 starts with a continuation of the modified sine profile from mission week 558. i.e. a sine profile during orbit day with a maximum of -50 degrees, and a fixed rock of +50 degrees during orbit day. On DOY 045 at 00:25 there is a 10 minute freeze observation during which an updated modified sine profile is loaded. Then, on DOY 049 at 23:20 there is another 10-minute freeze during which a +-50 degree rocking profile (over 2 orbits) is loaded. This profile continues until the end of the week. Note that positive rock angles are south, and negative angles are north. (updated: 23-Jan-2019)

MW 560

Mission Week 560 starts with a continuation of the +/-50 degree, two orbit period, rock profile from MW 559. On 2019 day of year 52 (Feb. 21) at 01:29 there is a 10 minute freeze observation during which an updated +/- 50 degree rocking profile is uploaded. This continues until day of year 58 (Feb. 27) at 16:10 when there is a 10 minute freeze during which an asymmetric profile (+50, -60 degree, two orbit period) profile is loaded. This continues until the end of the week. Note that positive rock angles are south, and negative angles are north. (updated: 30-Jan-2019)

MW 561

Mission Week 561 continues the +50,-60 deg (two orbit) asymmetric rocking profile begun in MW560. There is a 10 minute freeze IP at the beginning of the week during which an updated asymmetric profile is loaded. The week starts with beta at 14.6deg and ends at 17.3deg with beta peaking at 18.9deg on DOY 63 (Monday March 4) (updated: 06-Feb-2019)
