August - September 2019: Orbital C


Here are the orbits from August 5 to September 21 in the Bennu-centric Sun-North reference frame (updated with tracking data until 23-SEP-2019 17:36:57).

The graph shows the M1C maneuver to exit the Orbital B phase, the subsequent M2C maneuver to enter the Orbital C phase and the M30D maneuver to start the Recon phase.

The popup label shows the date, the radius vector (m), the altitude above Bennu (m) and the spacecraft orbital speed (mm/s).

The table lists the spacecraft maneuvers performed during this phase.
M29D maneuver (not shown in the graph) resumes the numbering from the Detailed Survey phase.
According to NAIF's data files, the M29D maneuver has been suppressed (the M30D maneuver retains the original numbering).

Here's the same graph as above, but in the mean ecliptic and equinox of J2000 reference frame.
