NOZOMI

’s Earth Swing-by

NOZOMI

was launched in July 1998.

• Due to some troubles, new orbit plan with Earth swing-by was proposed. • R&RR observations were difficult in some period May 22, 24, 27 Jan. Feb.

For astrometry of S.C.

Tasks to be done are

• VLBI for Finite distance radio source – A New VLBI delay Model corresponding to the CONSENSUS model.

• Narrow band width signal – Group delay or Phase delay • Delay Resolution: (nano/pico seconds) • Ambiguity problem • Data Processing and Analysis software – IP-sampler boards recording to HD – Software correlation & Analysis software

Analysis Procedure

• Compute a priori (delay, rate) (C) and partials – We modified

CALC9

for our use(finite VLBI). ( Thanks to NASA/GSFC group for permission to use) • Extracting Observable (  g , d  g /dt ,  p )(O) with software correlator.

• Computing O-C and least square parameter estimation 

Summary

NOZOMI

VLBI observations were performed with domestic and intercontinental baselines.

• Finite VLBI delay model was derived.

• An analysis software is developed with that delay model based on

CALC9

.

• Preliminary astrometric SC coordinates were obtained with Group/Phase delay observables.

• Problem of inconsistency in the coordinates need to be solved.

• Solution with full baselines have to be obtained.

• Next step:SC Astrometry-> Orbit estimation

Spacecraft Navigation with VLBI : Motivation

Required for increased accuracy for future space missions: – For landing, orbiting, & saving energy • JPL/NASA has been employed – Japanese Space Agency ( ISAS+NASDA=JAXA ) • NOZOMI(Japanese Mars Explorer) – Needs to support orbit determination with VLBI.

• Mission as our own Project
