Space Systems Environmental Interaction Studies

Abstract

Pre and post launch support work constitute the most significant activity during the report period. DIDM-2 was launched 13 July 2000 on the CHAMP spacecraft. The initial turn-on and early orbit phase of operations was virtually anomalous-event free, and the instrument continues to return good data. A synopsis of the on-orbit performance to date, is presented in this report. A review of another undertaking, the analysis and design work carried out on behalf of the succeeding instrument (DIDM-3), which is to he flown on the Air Force Research Laboratory's Communication Navigation Outage Forecast (C/NOFS) spacecraft, is also given.
