- Abstract
- As a multi-mission GEO satellite, COMS has three payloads including Ka-band communications, geostationary ocean color imager, and meteorological imager. COMS flight dynamics system provides the general on-station functions such as orbit determination, orbit prediction, event prediction, station-keeping maneuver planning, station-relocation maneuver planning, and fuel accounting. There are some specific flight dynamics functions to operate the Eurostar 3000 spacecraft bus such as wheel off-loading management, oscillator updating management, and on-station attitude reacquisition management. In this paper, operational validation of the major functions in COMS flight dynamics system is presented for the first six month of operations period.
