DE-1 Comet Halley imaging maneuvers
Abstract
Supplemental attitude control and support techniques were developed to maneuver the NASA Dynamics Explorer-1 (DE-1) spacecraft spin axis to allow extended imaging of Comet Halley with the DE-1 spin-scan auroral imager. The application of these techniques to the extension of the DE-1 mission is discussed as well as the performance attained and potential applications. The maneuver increased the duration of Comet Halley observation by about two months.
