1 THEMIS Mission Ops Peer Review Mission Design − 1 November 4 2003 THEMIS Mission Design

2 THEMIS Mission Ops Peer Review Mission Design − 2 November 4 2003 Mission Design  Overview − Mission Requirements − Mission Orbits − Orbit Placement − Maneuver Planning − Delta V Budget − Shadow Analysis − Conjunction Analysis − Status and Next Steps

3 THEMIS Mission Ops Peer Review Mission Design − 3 November 4 2003 Mission Requirements 1 − Five probes in 1-, 2-, and 4-day orbits at strategically-selected apogee distances to act as timing monitors and in situ platforms for diagnostic plasma and fields measurements. − Space segment coordinated in space and time with GBO’s to form a constellation capable of determining the order of events within a substorm. − Probes are placed in science orbits prior to first tail observation season, and orbital phases are adjusted periodically (period tweaks) to optimize amount and quality of conjunction time. − Inclination of outer probes (P1-2) is restored prior to second-year tail observation season to counteract drift due to orbital perturbations.

4 THEMIS Mission Ops Peer Review Mission Design − 4 November 4 2003 Mission Requirements 2  Mission Requirements (in addition to the L1 requirements discussed) − M-2 The THEMIS project shall develop a plan to meet the NASA orbital debris guidelines of re-entry in NASA Safety Standard (NSS) 1740.14 − Compliance: Already accounted for in nominal  V budget − M-25 Each Probe shall be designed to achieve electrical energy balance over an orbit assuming a 30 minute transmitter power on time and a 180 min eclipse. − Compliance: Orbit design avoids orbit elements with long shadows − M-44 Within the schedule cap (<March 2007), the THEMIS launch date shall not be restricted [Restating a L1 requirement]. − Compliance: Bus and orbit design are independent of launch date  Main drivers for orbit design to meet science requirements Shadows < 180min [pick appropriate RAP and inclination] Conjunctions with Canada [Pick sidereal day period multiples] Conjunctions with plasma sheet [pick appropriate RAP and inclination]

5 THEMIS Mission Ops Peer Review Mission Design − 5 November 4 2003 Mission orbits: A compromise between shadows and conjunctions

6 THEMIS Mission Ops Peer Review Mission Design − 6 November 4 2003 Orbits Design #1: Selection of Tail Epoch; shadows  Parametric study on shadows for INC=5…15deg relative to center tail elements (here shown for inc=15deg):

7 THEMIS Mission Ops Peer Review Mission Design − 7 November 4 2003 Orbits Design #2: Selection of Tail Epoch; conjunctions  Parametric study on conjunctions relative to center tail elements:

8 THEMIS Mission Ops Peer Review Mission Design − 8 November 4 2003 Orbits Design #3: Selection of Tail Epoch  From CSR: targeted center tail (wedding season) to be Feb-21 +/- 1 week

9 THEMIS Mission Ops Peer Review Mission Design − 9 November 4 2003 Orbits Design #4: Orbit finalization (pre-PDR) − The THEMIS probes shall be launched into a transfer orbit with the following characteristics: − Apogee radius: 12 +/- 0.38 Re. − Perigee radius: 1.1 +/- 0.5 Re. − Inclination: 9 +/- 0.5 degrees. − RAAN: 330 +/- 7 degrees optimizes Feb 21 configuration − APER: 0 +/- 5 degrees − The THEMIS probes shall ascend to the following approximate science orbits prior to first-year tail observation season: − P1:1.5x30.9-Re, 7-deg INCL. − P2:1.2x19.8-Re, 7-deg INCL. − P3,4:1.2x12.1-Re, 4-deg INCL. − P5:1.1x9.8-Re, 9-deg INCL (18-hr period). − P5 apogee raised to 13.2-Re (27-hr period) after tail season (1 st day-side) and then reduced again to 12.1 Re (same as P3,P4) for second year tail. The relative APER change due to the inclination difference separates the orbit plane of P5 from that of P3/P4 along Z. This adheres to the requirement to measure plasma sheet with Z- separated probes.

12 THEMIS Mission Ops Peer Review Mission Design − 12 November 4 2003 Maneuver Planning Software Tools  Since 1998 the THEMIS team has been using the following tools for maneuver planning, science optimization,  V analysis and RCS sizing: − Excell spreadsheet (UCB/Swales) − Perigee/apogee/inclination changes − RAAN, APR, INC drifts due to J2 terms − RAP drift for season selection − Raise, maintenance and replacement strategy −  V margin, mass margin − GTDS (UCB/GSFC) − Workhorse of spreadsheet result validation − Includes all appropriate terms (lunar, solar, drag, etc) − Shadow and conjunction parametric studies & forward analyses − Geometric and gravity effect assessment, and realistic RCS performance assessment − GMAN (UCB/GSFC) − Realistic RCS, ACS validation at the thruster pulse level (includes reors) − Final validation of mass and deltaV estimates − Leads to Mission Operations command generation
