ORBIT DETERMINATION (OD) ERROR ANALYSIS RESULTS FOR THE TRIANA SUN-EARTH LI LIBRATION POINT MISSION AND FOR THE FOURIER KELVIN STELLAR INTERFEROMETER (FKSI) SUN-EARTH L2 LIBRATION POINT MISSION CONCEPT

摘要

The Triana spacecraft was designed to be launched by the Space Shuttle. The nominal Triana mission orbit will be a Sun-Earth L1 Libration point orbit. Using the NASA Goddard Space Flight Center's Orbit Determination Error Analysis System (ODEAS), orbit determination (OD) error analysis results are presented for all phases of the Triana mission from the first correction maneuver through approximately launch plus 6 Months. Results are also presented for the science data collection phase of the Fourier Kelvin Stellar Interferometer Sun-Earth L2 libration point mission concept with momentum unloading thrust perturbations during the tracking arc. The Triana analysis includes extensive analysis of an initial short arc orbit determination solution and results using both Deep Space Network (DSN) and commercial Universal Space Network (USN) statistics. These results could be utilized in support of future Sun-Earth libration point missions.
