Plume Data takes (Kanipe, Hieb, Mosel, Alder?)
(this was originally planned in conjunction with IECM
plume survey.... plume flow field not yet available,
will have to be inferred)
- Data reqm'ts: (1) SPAS accelerometers (2) VTR from
1 camera (they use this for photogrammetry to get
actual position/attitude of SPAS relative to orbiter)
(3) pan/tilt angles from that camera (to nail down
final deg. of freedom for plume field)
[Pan/Tilt & photogrammetry (VTR) used to establish location
pre-firing, SPAS accel used to determine effect of plume]
• Procedure:
before the firing - zoom out camera (to help photogrammetrists)
sel that camera on VTR (don't mux - pan/tilt not available)
display "DATA" keep Pan ~0 (procedural ease)
set tilt to center SPAS
begin VTR
at firing, give a "MARK"
Note: it's important to know SPAS/orbiter position
post-flight. Not to set a specific position
very accurately during the flight
