Hello-

I wasn't sure how most people would like to see stuff posted. Or if this would interest many people. But in the interests of putting out more information, I created this topic as a place to put information on Venus Express science planning.

If you have any ideas about this, let me know.

Cheers-

Don Merritt

>> Is this an unusual approach to a problem like this?

Well, yes and no. VEX has never had to do such a thing. It is not unusual to have to do some sort of pointing which is offset from normal, but in my experience this is different because you are changing the references used by the flight code, rather than changing your pointing in relation to the references.

But the required offset wasn't designed for, so something had to be done. This was a possible way, so it was done this way. In a sense, every mission always ends up having to find work-arounds for things that aren't planned. So in that sense, it isn't unusual.
