T+ 21 Days Engineering Log

[Dantassii]

EHE #3 is still showing some minor issues during testing so it will not be used for the JOI burn. We are hoping we can repair it during our 5 day stay at Europa Station.

MCC #3 was performed yesterday with no additional problems. Total delta V for MCC #3 was 672 m/s. Our trajectory is such that a 17 minute burn of our remaining EHEs will allow us to arrive at Europa one quarter of an orbit after JOI at which point a 5 minute burn of our remaining EHEs will put us into orbit around Europa. A small burn using 4 EHEs will be required to boost us into a transfer orbit to the L2 point where Europa Station is with another small burn to bring us into station keeping.

Our schedule was given 5 days at Europa Station to transfer our passengers, perform any minor repairs, and refuel. Most of the time will be spent in the later process as we will have used a significant amount of our fuel to go from the Lunar Station to the Europa Station in 25 days and we will need a full fuel load to get from Europa Station to Saturn in 99 days.
