Personnel at Large • Special Projects Branch (SPB) • Merle Reinhart • George Chapman • Operations Planning Branch (OPB) • Alison Vick • Ian Jordan • Planning Systems Development Branch (PSDB) • Mark Giuliano • Bob Boyer
Outline • Two Gyro background • Two Gyro Modes • Why they impact scheduling • All-sky scheduling study • Plots galore • Targets-by-week The Movie
TGS Modes • Three operational modes • MSS and two gyros (M2G): Compares MSS output to magnetic field model to control attitude and rates with errors required to be less than 10 degrees; supports vehicle maneuvers • FHST and two gyros (T2G): Requires one tracker to be visible to use FHST data and gyros to control rates; onboard attitude determination (OAD) using FHST map data from two FHST units will bring attitude error within FGS search radius • FGS and two gyros (F2G): Requires FGS visibility to use FGS data and gyros to control rates and attitude to allow for science • What does it mean? • Elaborate process to get on guide stars after a slew • Less schedulability (big surprise)

Scheduling Impacts & Constraints • Largest impact is the requirement to have overlapping visibility between the FHSTs and FGSs • Limits the portion of sky available at any one time • Additionally, several constraints / restrictions are generically affected by the large pointing uncertainty (LAU) in M2G mode • Thermal off-nominal roll angles • Avoidance angles (Sun, Moon, Earth) • Solar array incidence angles • Solar array shadowing table • Anti-Sun avoidance / roll angles • 10 degree LAU means • Targets <60 degrees from sun will not be observable • An anti-sun avoidance zone of ~8 degrees radius develops
The TGS All-sky Study • Assess the availability of targets across the entire sky under the FHST driven scheduling restrictions imposed by two gyro mode • Examine how that schedulability is affected by FHST duration requirements and initial error estimates
All-Sky Study Approach • 5-degree-by-5-degree grid of targets covering 360 degrees in RA and +85 degrees to -85 degrees in DEC • Very schedulable Visit (one 30-minute exposure) • Used updated (reduced) FGS earth avoidance angles • Guide star availability not considered • Used Prototype Long Rang Planning tool (SPIKE) to determine constraint windows • Summed the window durations by target • Vary parameters and rerun
All-Sky Schedulability:Onboard Attitude Determination difference
Scheduling under Two Gyro • FHST / FGS overlapping visibility requirement creates the most notable impact • 60 – 172 degrees usable sun angle • Maximum off-nominal roll is 22 degrees • Visit duration will likely be ~30 minutes • On average an individual target is only observable ~120 days per year • Low-dec targets become observable after the sun passes them • Hi-dec targets have periodic availability tied to orbital precession • Can absorb small changes to the two gyro activities without drastically affecting schedulability
