3GM_GRAVITY_TOUR
3GM_GRAVITY_TOUR
Gravity measurement during flyby requires the use of the HGA.
KaT and HAA should be operating during gravity measurement
USO assumed to be ON during the full tour: this should be defined in the scenario set-up and not at 3GM observation approach.
HAA should be in CONFIGURATION mode at least 48 hours before the gravity measurement.
The observation should start with 1 hour of HAA in SELF_CALIBRATION mode. KaT starts with 10min of warm-up.
Additional X/X and X/Ka (DST) link may be required whenever the Sun-
Earth-Spacecraft angle is < 60 deg to cancel noise due to the solar wind plasma

USO should be ON and scheduled in the background (TO BE SCHEDULED BY SOC AT PLANNING SET-UP)
HAA should be in CONFIGURATION mode and scheduled in the background (TO BE SCHEDULED BY SOC AT PLANNING SET-UP).
If HAA is OFF, HAA needs to be ON at least 48hours before measurement starts.
If outside HGA communication, MGA is used.
any rule that is used to schedule the observation: repetition rules, continuous (plasma instruments), one-off, every orbit, every day, etc
N/A
conditions that make the observation not possible (e.g. thruster firing)
