STRANGE POINTING RESULTS NEAR BDR OVERWRITE GAP
This figure shows the SXT_CEN pointing from PFI index
structures for the period. The two symbols are for
2 different filters (Be/ND and Al.1/Open).
(first, last) = '16-FEB-95 00:22:14', '16-FEB-95 03: 44:31'
The pronounced orbital drift is evident. However,
the drift in X before and after the BDR overwrite
data gap must certainly be an ATT problem rather
than a real effect. There was no SAA for these
orbits. The KSC contact was well before the
time of the data gap.
The units are FR pixels so it seems to be about
a 2 arcsec effect for each transition, but, as
they are in opposite senses the jump in a movie
prepared by SXT_PREP would be more than a pixel
in the X-direction.
