Performance Section

Shows burn execution analysis when telemetry data is available. Magnitude Chart:
  • Purpose: Shows burn efficiency (actual vs planned)
  • Display: Bar chart with percentage centered at 100% (nominal)
  • Color coding:
    • Green (95-105%): Excellent - within 5% of plan
    • Yellow (90-110%): Good - within 10% of plan
    • Red (outside range): Review needed
Pointing Chart:
  • Purpose: Shows angular deviation from planned direction
  • Display: Dual bar chart
    • Blue: In-Plane (Azimuth) deviation
    • Orange: Out-of-Plane (Elevation) deviation
  • Unit: Degrees
  • Interpretation: Lower values = better accuracy

Key Concepts

What is a Burn Plan?

A burn plan (maneuver) represents a planned or executed thruster firing to change a spacecraft’s orbit. Key parameters include:
  • Delta-V: Velocity change in m/s
  • Delta-Mass: Propellant consumed
  • Duration: Burn length in seconds
  • Reference Frame: Coordinate system (RTN or TNW)

Maneuver Lifecycle

  1. PLANNED: Maneuver is scheduled but not yet executed
  2. TELEMETRY: Execution reported with actual timing data
  3. Performance Analysis: Compare actual vs planned after execution

Performance Metrics

  • Magnitude (Efficiency): Actual delta-V vs planned delta-V (100% = perfect)
  • Pointing: Angular deviation from planned direction (0 degrees = perfect)
