Spacecraft Bus
Bus Subsystems A - E Nominal
BAU FSW A - E Occasional glitches in on-board spin rate calculation
New BAU FSW version 0x3500 currently tested on FlatSat, upload scheduled for early 2009
Telecom A - E Antennas weaker than expected
Degraded operational link budgets(B: -3 dB; A,C,D: -4 dB; E: -5 dB)
Power A - E Nominal Power systems allow operation through 4-h shadows
Thermal A - E Nominal No issues in nominal mission attitude
E Thermal leak near Service Valve 2
Analysis shows no risk of freezing fuel lines
Thermistor on Solar Array 3 has open circuit in shadow
Thermistors on SA 1,2,4 provide redundant information
Instruments Instrument Suite A - E Nominal
IDPU FSW A - E Nominal All probes run IDPU FSW version 0x50
ESA A - E Small degradation in sensitivity of electron sensor below 30 eV in certain angle sectors
Localized MCP degradation in angle sectors looking along the spin axis may be caused by emission of photo electrons from axial booms – probes A and B have least amount of degradation, had booms deployed later
SST A - E Small degradation of sensitivity
Increased sensor bias once to restore nominal sensitivity

ARTEMIS THEMIS Orbit Determination
• Orbit determination (OD) for the THEMIS constellation is based on two-way Doppler tracking data and the Goddard Trajectory Determination System (GTDS).
• Tests are underway to characterize the THEMIS ranging capabilities for use during ARTEMIS.

ARTEMIS ARTEMIS ConOps
• ARTEMIS Concept of Operations• Transfer of outer two probes (B/P1 and C/P2) into
lunar orbits via Weak Stability Boundary trajectory using Earth and lunar gravity assist
• Communications with these two probes via DSN• Data recovery from lunar distances up to 128K• Attitude determination with sun sensor data only• No required flight software changes
• THEMIS Concept of Operations• THEMIS mission continues with inner three probes
(A/P5, D/P3, E/P4) in tighter formationNOTES: For all operational purposes all five probes shall continue to be referred to as THEMIS A-E.
New capabilities at the MOC shall be considered an upgrade, not a transition.

Spacecraft Constraints Impacting ARTEMIS Operations
Constraint Operational Impact / Risks Work-around / Mitigation
Thruster locations on spacecraft
Thrust direction only in one hemisphere Insert bias maneuvers into navigation plan
No thrust operations in shadow due to RCS design
Cannot execute maneuvers in Earth or lunar shadows
Shift maneuvers outside of shadows
Survival of long shadows Spacecraft designed for maximum shadow duration of 180 min. Power systems performance allows shadows up to 240 min duration.
Design trajectory to avoid shadows longer than 240 min
EIRP of spacecraft transmitter with omni antenna
Spacecraft telecomm subsystem designed to work with 11-m class ground stations
Utilize DSN 34-m antennas and adjust telemetry rates to close link with positive margin, based on range and spacecraft attitude
Available sensor data for attitude determination
ACS and ADS designed to work with sun sensor and FGM data, requiring Earth’s magnetic field
Implement ADS based only on sun sensor data
