JWST REAL-TIME MID-COURSE CORRECTION MANEUVER MONITORING CONTINGENCY PREPARATION

The NASA James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) mission successfully launched on Dec 25, 2021, at 12:20 Coordinated Universal Time (UTC). During the 30-day transfer to the second Sun-Earth-Moon (SEM) libration point (L2), JWST executed three mid-course correction (MCC) maneuvers to insert into a quasi-halo orbit about L2. This paper covers the design and modeling for these three maneuvers with a focus on the timeline around the execution of each MCC maneuver. It will summarize the actual on-board events as well as the contingency preparation done for maneuver planning, monitoring, and final post-burn reconstruction of all three MCC maneuvers.

The Space Weather Follow On – Lagrange 1 Mission

The Space Weather Follow On – Lagrange 1 (SWFO-L1) Observatory will be situated in a Sun-Earth L1 Lissajous orbit with the goal of providing continuous measurements of the space environment and observations of the Sun’s outer atmosphere, and contributing to accurate forecasts of space weather disturbances. Unique to the SWFO-L1 mission are challenges of a rideshare launch, immoderate momentum management delta-V residuals, and spacecraft maneuver design considerations, resulting in specialized operational approach, management, and support.
