MORE: instrument PDR completed (27 Nov. 2008) EID-B close to completion Test and Calibration Plan: work in progress; issue 1 expected for next PM in June Ground station: some progress on the use of SRT (Sardinia Radio Telescope); no NASA support at the moment Concerns: wheel desaturation manouuvers every 12 h, with large delta-V (5 cm/s) Payload switch off near Mercury’s pericenter, X/Ka link off at pericenter MORE Status MORE DPDR 27-28 Nov. 2008

Effects of residual DVx Along-track, residual DV does affect the SC orbit : To fix ideas, let us assume Δx = 10 m; then knowledge of ΔVx is required to: Assuming calibration to 30%, the allowed, residual along-track DV (constraining the displacement uncertainty to 10 m) is 0.5 mm/s MORE DPDR 27-28 Nov. 2008
