On-Orbit Support of DARPA-301 Payload.

Abstract

This report covers the DARPA-301 payload on the P78-1 satellite. Several gamma-ray detectors with high sensitivity continue to perform well and are completely capable of fulfilling the mission objectives. These objectives are: (1) Provide the technical planning and liaison with the Air Force Satellite Control Facility and other government agencies as required for the on-orbit satellite support of the DARPA-301 payload; (2) Assess the on-orbit operation and quality of data from the DARPA-301 payload on the P78-1 satellite; (3) Provide support, including quick-look analysis and interactions with the Air Force Satellite Control Facility, for a regional event; and, (4) Perform regular analyses of the on-orbit data to maintain updated evaluations of the sensitivities and optimum configurations of the payload for mapping gamma-ray sources.
