The table shows the spacecraft maneuvers performed during the Reconnaissance C phase (the calculations and the graphs are based on NAIF's data files updated with tracking data through 06-APR-2020 17:31:03).

Here's the spacecraft trajectory from February 24 to April 6 in the Bennu-centric mean ecliptic and equinox of J2000 reference frame.

The popup label shows the date, the radius vector (m), the altitude above Bennu (m), the spacecraft inertial speed (Vi, mm/s) and the speed relative to the surface of Bennu (Vs, mm/s).


Here's the same graph as above, but in the Bennu-centric Sun-North reference frame.

Instead of the inertial speed, the popup label shows the spacecraft speed in the Bennu-fixed rotating frame (Vbfr, mm/s).


The following graph shows the s/c radius vector, altitude, inertial speed and the speed relative to the surface of Bennu (click a graph legend to hide/show the related plot).
