3.4 Coast Phase Attitude<br />

Three-axis pointing<br />

The Block DM-SL can accommodate preferred three-axis attitude pointing<br />

(including sun pointing) while coasting between Block DM-SL main<br />

engine burns. Attitude and attitude rate accuracy depend heavily on<br />

spacecraft mass properties. Preliminary attitude and attitude rate are assumed<br />

to be ±3 deg and ±0.25 deg/sec in all three axes (2.3σ).<br />

Roll maneuvers<br />

Continuous rolls for spacecraft thermal control and battery charging are<br />

supported. For a roll rate of 5 deg/sec, the roll-axis pointing accuracy is<br />

±4 deg and the attitude rate accuracy is ±0.2 deg/sec in all three axes<br />

(2.3σ).<br />
