Upper Atmosphere Research Satellite Jitter Study
The study objectives are to analyze in-flight jitter; evaluate different models of the Upper Atmosphere Research Satellite (UARS); and determine jitter prediction accuracy such that adequate (but not excessive) design margins will assume future mission success. The topics are presented in viewgraph form and include the following: UARS chronology; UARS disturbance experiment; microwave limb sounder antenna and mirror time profiles; solar array drive disturbance; roll and yaw jitter correlation with solar array position; solar array rotation; UARS disturbance summary; concept for reduction of jitter effect; jitter reduction using window scheduling; and highlights/lessons learned.
