ACE Weekly 02/19/2015 - 02/24/2015 ACE spacecraft subsystems are performing as expected. See below for the discussion of maneuver performance. ======================================================================== Orbit/Attitude: Type Attitude Date 02/24/2015 DOY 055 2015 Thrusters 2R 4R+ 4R- Duration 10:41 min Start 16:13:24z Stop 16:24:05z ra,decStart 326.97,-25.06 ra,decStop 334.97,-23.83 ra,decExpect 337.91,-22.36 Deviation 3.08deg(-29%) HGAStart -9.44 deg HGAStop +8.45 deg SunStart 18.50 deg SunStop 14.62 deg SpinStart 4.9962 rpm SpinStop 4.9997 rpm Nutation 0.10 deg Firing 54 pulses FuelUsed 0.1673 lbm FuelRemain 100.3484 lbm FinalSCMass 1334.608 lbm We expect the nitrogen in the internal lines to eventually be purged in the next 1-2 weeks. The next attitude maneuver is scheduled for Tuesday 3/3/2015. The next station-keeping maneuver is scheduled for Friday 3/13/2015. With the nitrogen being expelled instead of fuel, we estimate that the reported fuel used over the past 12 months (8.30 lbm; 3.76kg) is around 5-10% more than what was probably used (~7.5 lbm; ~3.4kg). This deviation corresponds to ~1 month's fuel usage. The reported remaining fuel may be adjusted in the future. ======================================================================== OCRs: None ======================================================================== Activities: Data Capture: 100% DOY 046-053 2015 ======================================================================== Anomalies: None
