T+ 46 Days Engineering Log

[Dantassii]

MCC #4 was performed yesterday with no flags. The burn providing 172 m/s of delta V was relatively small compared to initial estimates for MCC #5 and #6. All 4 EHEs uses for the burn performed nominally including EHE #3.

Due to the quickness of our Jupiter to Saturn transit, the actual delta V requirements for the 3 MCCs are difficult to calculate until the actual day of the burn. Estimated delta Vs for MCC #5 and #6 are on the order of 300 m/s at this time. We may have to perform a pre-SOI phasing burn a day before SOI although it will be difficult to calculate the delta V of this burn until we are in Saturn's gravitational sphere of influence.

Next event, MCC #5 in 30 days.

All boards are green at this time.
