Next: Navigation Pre-Observation Products . ... SRT (Space Radio Telescope) Schedule (SRS) File . ... What: GOCG generates the Space Radio Telescope (SRT) schedule file, or SRS file, from current GSTS file. The SRS file has more precise time stamps than long-term schedules, and also designates which GTS will be used when. ... The SRS file also serves as the antenna pointing schedule file, as it describes the planned orientation of the spacecraft (and solar panels) as a function of time. ...

... Determining the nominal roll angle for stable intervals . ... We found the necessary information in a file 'rh*.ao', which has a binary extension table for each obi. ... Unlike the question of determining the nominal roll angle, we know of no a priori indication of this problem (although the guide star configuration may be the cause, or at least associated with this condition): it is necessary to examine the source position for each obi. ... The guide star record is at the end of the 'anc file'. ...
