After a very busy 3 days of Earth-Moon system burns, we are now on our way to Jupiter. Shaping burns and the TJI burn (5 minutes at 5 Gs) were performed without any flags and SSTV-01 has been setup in cruise mode.

Due to our rapid transit from the Earth-Moon system to the Jupiter-Europa system, our first MCC is only 6 days away. Preliminary onboard calculations show that this burn may be the smallest of the 3 MCCs on our way to Jupiter as the uncertainties of our approach vector to Jupiter are still quite large. Our approach vector to Jupiter must be planned so that we arrive at Europa within the first orbit of Jupiter.

All boards are green at this time.

The remaining milestones for this mission:
  • T+10 Days MCC #1
  • T+15 Days MCC #2
  • T+20 Days MCC #3
  • T+24 Days JOI burn
  • T+25 Days Arrival at Europa Station
  • T+30 Days Depart Europa Station for a sling shot around Jupiter
  • T+31 Days Trans Saturn Injection (TSI) burn during slingshot around Jupiter
  • T+45 Days MCC #4
  • T+75 Days MCC #5
  • T+105 Days MCC #6
  • T+130 Days Saturn Orbit Injection (SOI) burn
  • T+145 Days Arrival at Titan and begin construction of Titan Station
  • T+295 Days Departure from Titan Station
  • T+315 Days MCC #7
  • T+350 Days MCC #8
  • T+375 Days MCC #9
  • T+395 Days Arrival at Lunar Station and end of SSTV-01 Mission #2
