Two Gyro background
Two Gyro Modes
Why they impact scheduling
All-sky scheduling study

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)

3 gyro vs. 2 gyroGetting to guided science
3-gyro (current ops) Type 2 Slew FHST full update FGS guide star acquisition
2-gyro Type 2 Slew FHST rate control First FHST map First attitude correction Second FHST map Second attitude correction FHST GOB (overlaps with
guide star acq) FGS Guide star acquisition

TGS Scheduling Scenario

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

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
