Commissioning Plan

Io-1 deployed on 30 Mar at 13:29 UTC

  1. Initial signal acquired, object identified and initial detumble complete.

  2. Platform is alive, healthy and communicating; LEOP completed, ready for transition to Commissioning

  3. ADCS sensors and actuators verified

  4. Platform successfully transitioned to STANDBY mode and confirmed stable.

  5. Payload subsystem is healthy and in good working order. Payload data has been downlinked.

  6. Initial fine pointing states tested, pre-deployment MOI characterised.

  7. Boom deployed, result verified using on-board ADCS telemetry. Ready for Test Set B2.

  9. Fine pointing states tested, post-deployment MOI characterised.

  12. Long term characterisation of the ADCS performance is complete. Ready for Payload demonstration

      • Fine-tune the ADCS model over several iterations:
        • Gain tuning (if required based on performance)
        • KF tuning (if required based on performance)
        • Momentum management tuning
      • Investigate any raised anomalies from previous ADCS Test Sets
