• Mission Operations– Launch February 15, 2000 at 22:02:15 UTC = 14:02:15 PST– 41 Days IOC and antenna deployment period– 2 year science mission operations
• Orbit– Inclination 90 degrees– Perigee 1000 km (initially)– Apogee target altitude 7.2 Earth Radii = 45,923 km– Orbit Period 14.25 hours– Initial argument of perigee 320 deg., precesses 79.95 deg. in 2 years– Ascending node at 180 deg. Right Ascension, constant.– Precession of perigee and local time determine location of IMAGE in

Jim Burch’s presentation at IMAGE Team MeetingNovember 16, 1999
• Apogee altitude
– Desired: +/-1600 km
– Delta 3rd Stage capability: +/-2500 km
– Science Team Has agreed to +/- 2500km
• Inclination +/- 1 degree
• Eccentricy +/- 0.05
– Function of Apogee Altitude Uncertainty
• Ascending node: +/- 15 degrees
– Drives launch window width (one hour per day)
– Affects minimum sun angle from z-axis:
• Thermal, power, and navigation systems designed for 23.5 degrees or more sun angle from z-axis
• Argument of Perigee: +/- 3 degrees
IMAGE ELV Configurationand Mission Characteristics
• Vehicle Configuration: Boeing Delta Medium-Lite 7326-9.5
- Same as Deep Space-1 with exception of mission specific mods
• Launch Site: SLC-2W at VAFB
• Launch Period: February 15 thru March 10, 2000 based on current trajectory analysis
• Liftoff time (hr:min:sec PST)- 15 Feb 00 14:02:15
• Orbit Requirements -Apogee Altitude (km/nmi) 45923.2/24796.5
-Perigee Altitude (km/nmi) 1000/540
-Inclination (deg) 90
-Argument of Perigee (deg) 320
