Status of Delta-DOR interoperability Berlin October 14th, 2008 Mattia Mercolino ESA/ESOC,
Summary • ESA DOR support to Phoenix • Mixed baseline DOR support to Phoenix • ESA DOR support to Hayabusa • ESA-JAXA DOR tracking on MEX • ESA-JAXA DOR tracking on VEX
ESA support and results • ESA-only baseline (New Norcia – Cebreros 35 m antennas) • 20 passes: • 19 operational (4 of which critical passes with delta-DOR reduced data delivery within 24 hours) • 1 test pass • Results indicates a post-fit residual of 0.12 ns • ESA – JPLmixed baseline (New Norcia – Robledo) • 6 passes: • 5 operational passes (among the 19 operational passes with ESA-only baseline) • 1 test pass (carried out on December 1st 2007) • Results • Pre-fit residuals in the order of 0.3 ns • Post-fit residuals in the order of 0.1 ns
ESA translator to VSR validation • ESA – JPL and JPL – only data were used to validate the ESA data translator and correlator vs. JPL data correlator • Data acquired on three different DOYs (and different baselines) were translated into VSR format and shipped to JPL • Data Correlation was performed with identical settings (start time, integration time, block accumulation time) with both JPL and ESA correlators • Results indicate that the single DOR differs always for less than 0.1 ns, below the theoretical accuracy achievable with the used settings
Hayabusa observations (1) • Prerequisites: • ESA to be authorised to track Hayabusa no authorisation needed • Steps to be done: • Check whether the possibility to track Hayabusa from either Cebreros or New Norcia exists, in the frame of the NASA/JAXA yearly cross-support ok • Provision from JAXA of OEM data of Hayabusa ok • Capture data from New Norcia (simultaneously with Usuda and Goldstone) on August the 11th a first tracking test was executed for New Norcia • ESA to translate captured data to VSR format and transfer them to JAXA TBD • JAXA to translate collected data into either Mk5 or VSR and to transfer them to ESA (if Usuda is used) ok • ESA to correlate the raw data and to provide the results to JAXA Orbit determination Group TBD • JAXA to correlate the raw data and to provide the results to JAXA Orbit determination Group TBD • JAXA to perform an end-to-end validation, at Orbit Determination level

MEX observations • The following steps need to be foreseen: • Capture data from New Norcia and Usuda (and possibly Cebreros) • JAXA to translate collected data into either Mk5 or VSR and to transfer them to ESA • ESA to translate collected data into VSR and to transfer them to JAXA • ESA to correlate the raw data and to provide the results to ESA Orbit determination Group • JAXA to correlate the raw data and to provide the results to ESA Orbit determination Group • ESA to provide information on final validation, based on MEX known orbit • What do we achieve with that? • Validation of mutual raw data capture • Validation of the mutual translation function • Validation of the mutual correlation function • Validation of a pre-operational environment • ESA to check possible dates for a MEX tracking in the timeframe end 2008 beginning 2009

VEX observations • VEX is currently being observed monthly (once per month) by ESA in order to provide JPL with plane-of-the-sky measurement of the S/C • The following steps need to be foreseen: • Capture data from New Norcia and Usuda (and possibly Cebreros) • JAXA to translate collected data into either Mk5 or VSR and to transfer them to ESA • ESA to translate collected data into VSR and to transfer them to JAXA • ESA to correlate the raw data and to provide the results to ESA Orbit determination Group • JAXA to correlate the raw data and to provide the results to ESA Orbit determination Group • ESA to provide information on final validation, based on MEX known orbit • What do we achieve with that? • Validation of mutual raw data capture • Validation of the mutual translation function • Validation of the mutual correlation function • Validation of a pre-operational environment • ESA to provide JAXA the dates for a VEX tracking in the timeframe end 2008 beginning 2009
