4.3.1 Antenna Pointing Accuracy

The east-west and north-south pointing error during the 9 year mission fuel life shall not violate the requirements of Section 3 in Beacon Tracking be at least in the earth sensor mode. The pointing accuracy 10.180 E-W and 10.21° N-S.

4.3.2 Sensors

mode shall

The despin system shall use an RF pilot signal in conjunction with the error signal, to serve as the onboard command/track receivers, which derive an control sensor.

The RF pilot signal requirements include the following:

1)

Carrier flux density incident at the spacecraft

2) Triangular waveform frequency

3) Modulation deviation

4)

Carrier frequency

4.3.3 Despin Acquisition Time

The specified east-west pointing accuracy shall be capable of being of control command at initial acquisition or achieved within 5 minutes subsequent reacquisition from the nominal spin rate.
