... Q: How do I best determine an observation's actual orientation? ... The science header keyword ORIENTAT is populated by adding the angle between the HST V3 axis and the detector Y axis to what we will call the "commanded roll" (North to V3 through East). ... The commanded roll can be determined by subtracting the beta_2 from ORIENTAT. ... Relying on the jitter file's measured roll if a problem is found either with the science header population or with the execution of the commanded roll. ...

... With enough velocity, a spacecraft can break loose from the Earth's gravity and enter an orbit around the Sun, like that of a planet. If it then orbits the Sun with the same period as the Earth--one year--it may keep a fixed position relative to Earth. ... If the distance is just right--about 4 times the distance to the Moon or 1/100 the distance to the Sun--the spacecraft, too, will need just one year to go around the Sun, and will keep its position between the Sun and the Earth. ...
