The off-nominal trajectories used in the tracking test are includes in this spreadsheet. But others not used in the test are included here as well. tracktest_long_seqout.asc This file is the SEQGEN input file for the sequenced part of the 'long' tracking test. This includes the pointing and CRISP commanding leading up to closest approach. tracktest_short_seqout.asc This file is the SEQGEN input file for the sequenced part of the 'short' tracking test. This includes the pointing and CRISP commanding leading up to closest approach. tracktest_macros_seqout.asc This file is a compilation of the CRISP DPU macros for closest approach loaded into the CRISP DPU for the tracking tests. The tracking mechanism selects one of these based on the trajectory loaded and kicks it off at the appropriate time for closest approach. tracktest_proc_may16.asc This is the procedure script used by the test director for the May 16 tracking tests. It is similar to the procedure used in the April 6 tests. notes_april6_tracktests.asc This file contains some notes about the execution results of the April 6 tracking tests. Unfortunately, I can't find the notes from May 16. I believe all of those tests executed nominally. All glitches were understood and it was a good night.
