Editing Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (BrianJ add-on)

== Overview ==
The Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) is the first mission in NASA's planned return to the moon. LRO will launch 2nd March, 2009, with the objectives to finding safe landing sites, locate potential resources, characterize the radiation environment and test new technology.

The return to the moon will enable the pursuit of scientific activities that address our fundamental questions about the history of Earth, the solar system and the universe -- and about our place in them. It will allow us to test technologies, systems, flight operation and exploration techniques to reduce the risk and increase the productivity of future missions to Mars and beyond. It will also expand Earth's economic sphere to conduct lunar activities with benefits to life on our home planet.

LRO is an unmanned mission to create the comprehensive atlas of the moon's features and resources necessary to design and build a lunar outpost. LRO focuses on the selection of safe landing sites, identification of lunar resources and the study of how lunar radiation will affect humans.

After launch, the LCROSS shepherding spacecraft and the Atlas V’s Centaur upper stage rocket will execute a fly-by of the moon and enter into an elongated Earth orbit to position LCROSS for impact on a lunar pole. On final approach, the shepherding spacecraft and Centaur will separate. The Centaur will act as a heavy impactor to create a debris plume that will rise above the lunar surface. Following four minutes behind, the shepherding spacecraft will fly through the debris plume, collecting and relaying data back to Earth before impacting the lunar surface and creating a second debris plume.

The debris plumes are expected to be visible from Earth- and space-based telescopes 10-to-12 inches and larger.

This is a difficult and challenging mission. Experienced orbinauts will enjoy the challenge of targeting the LCROSS to impact the North Pole of the moon, when the LRO spacecraft is overhead. This mission is not recommended for people recently starting to use Orbiter. Familiarity with setting up gravity assist maneuvers in TransX is a '''required''' skill.
=== Mission Objectives ===

==== LRO ====
The objective of the LRO mission is to map the lunar surface in preparation for the return of human missions to the moon, which are planned to occur by 2020.

==== LCROSS ====
Earth’s closest neighbor is holding a secret. In 1999, hints of that secret were revealed in the form of concentrated hydrogen signatures detected in permanently shadowed craters at the lunar poles by NASA’s Lunar Prospector. These readings may be an indication of lunar water and could have far-reaching implications as humans expand exploration past low-Earth orbit. The Lunar CRater Observing and Sensing Satellite (LCROSS) mission is seeking a definitive answer.

== Procedures ==
Accuracy of burns in this mission is '''CRITICAL'''. 
During this mission, especially after the TLI burn, we will be using the tools TransX or IMFD to get the '''DIRECTION''' of our burns, and using IMFD map to monitor in real time the '''MAGNITUDE''' of the DeltaV we are imparting. For this mission, usually the AUTOBURN button is '''NOT''' your friend.

The precession of the Moon's axis is not modelled in Orbiter. To ensure accuracy of the Moon's orientation at the time of the mission, the LRO add-on uses a custom sol.cfg and moon.cfg located in the Config/LRO/ directory. To use them, the "Environment" entry in the scenario file must point to the LRO/sol.cfg.
e.g.
 BEGIN_ENVIRONMENT
  System '''LRO/Sol'''
  Date MJD 54892.2256944444
 END_ENVIRONMENT

=== Launch ===

Fire up the '''01 - AV020 LRO launch''' scenario in the LRO scenarios folder
This is a night launch so visibility is poor until after the TLI burn. 
The scenario starts at UTC 03/02/2009 05:25:00.
Launch time is UTC 05:26:27.
The default camera view is Ground Observer. You have just over a minute to set up the camera to your personal preference.

 At UTC 05:26:17 press the '''p''' key to start the launch countdown and 
 1st stage auto-pilot.

At T-5 seconds, engine ignition will happen, and the hold down clamps release at T-0.
The Atlas V-401 1st stage autopilot will continue until 1st stage seperation.It can be disengaged by Pressing '''p''' again, but this is not recommended.

 <nowiki>10 seconds after 1st stage separation, press the</nowiki> '''p''' <nowiki>key again.</nowiki>

This will ignite the 2nd stage Centaur engine, and engage the 2nd stage autopilot which will put the vehicle in a circular 185km parking orbit. Pressing '''p''' again will disengage the 2nd stage autopilot.  

Shortly after 2nd stage ignition, the fairing will be automatically jettisoned, and the LRO/LCROSS spacecraft will be exposed.

=== TLI ===

After SECO, while established in the 185km parking orbit, set the Left MFD to IMFD.

 Press the '''j''' key to jettison LRO.
 Switch focus back to LRO.
 Press the '''k''' key to deploy the LRO solar panels
 Once the panels have fully unfolded, and rotated to face the sun,
 press the '''g''' key to deploy the antenna

=== Lunar targeting/LCROSS ===
* Swingby of moon is passive (no thrusting)
* 81 days in post-swingby cruise orbit
* Current baseline is 3-month trajectory with north pole impact
* Two revolutions in high ecliptic inclination (~50 deg), 40-day period Earth orbit

When you reach 32M altitude above the Earth, the Centaur engine will automatically purge of all fuel and control switches over to the LCROSS propulsion system. You may initate the engine purge manually by pressing '''B'''. It is '''critical''' that you get your targeting done for LCROSS before this time, as once that happens, your deltaV budget is severely limited.

Switch focus to AV020Centaur. Select Orbit MFD in the right MFD.
At about 21M altitude above the earth, select IMFD in the Right MFD.
 Click '''MNU''', then '''Map'''. Make sure Target is ''Moon'', and ''Ref moon'' is displayed.
 Click '''MOD''' three times, and set ''Accuracy'' to ''Max''.
 Click '''MOD''' again to return to the map display.
 Use rotational thrusters to point the Centaur in a northward direction. (Towards Polaris)
 Switch to translation mode and use linear thrusters until PeA in the Right MFD is about 2M.
 In the left MFD be sure ''Target Intercept'' is highlighted. 
 Click '''+''', then '''Nxt''' four times until ''Delta Velocity'' is highlighted. 
 Click '''Set'''. Click '''TGT''', and type '''Moon'''.
 Click '''Nxt''' four times until ''dVf'' is highlighted. 
 Click '''Set''', and enter '''0'''.
 in the Right MFD, click '''Plan''' so the green course line turns blue.
 In the left MFD, adjust ''dVp'' and ''dVf'' so that ''RIn'' and ''PeA'' in the right MFD
 are as close as possible to ''90'' degrees, and ''2.5M'', respectively.
 Click '''PG''', '''BV''', and '''AB'''.
 When the burn is finished, click '''BV''', and '''PG''' in the left MFD, and '''Plan''' in the right MFD.
Select Transx in both MFDs.
Select moon as the target in the right MFD

 Click the '''FWD''' button for stage 2, make sure the view is ''Setup'' and select the target as ''Escape''.
 Click the '''FWD''' button again for stage 3, and select the target as ''Moon''
 Click the '''VW''' button for Sling Direct view.
 On the Left MFD, click the '''FWD''' button for stage 2, if not already there. 
 Click the '''VW''' button for slingshot view, if not already there.

There will be a green line extending from the center of the moon to hopefully past the edge. This is an edge-on view of our current approach to the moon.
We need to fine tune this approach to give us a lunar gravity assist which will result in a highly inclined orbit around the earth with a period of 40 days

 On the Right MFD, click the '''VAR''' button twice to bring up the ''Inc. angle'' parameter
 Click on '''++''' several times until the dotted yellow orbit is about the same size as the solid green line. 
 It does not have to be superimposed in the same place, but of a similar diameter.

On the Left MFD the dotted yellow line should be on the same side (more or less) of the moon as the green line. If it is on the opposite side,
click on the '''--''' button until it is on the same side.

 On the Right MFD, click on '''VAR''' four times until the ''outward angle'' parameter is shown.
 Adjust this parameter, and the Inc. angle parameter until the dotted line is superimposed 
 on the solid green line in the slingshot view.

This is our current trajectory. Now we need to adjust the trajectory to impact the moon in 2 orbits with a 40 day period.
 Note the angle of this line. We will be adjusting the length of the line,
 but the angle '''must''' remain the same so that our flight path
 is over the moons pole.
 On the Right MFD, click '''VW''' so that the setup view is shown
 Click '''VAR''' 3 times so that ''Orbits to Icept'' is shown
 Click '''++''' 4 times so that the ''Orbits to Icept'' parameter is 2.0

Now we must figure out what our ''Enc. MJD'' should be. Take the current MJD and add 85 to it. (5 days to reach the moon, then 2 orbits of 40 days each.) For the Mar 2 (UTC) launch this would be 54892 + 85 = 54977. This is the ''Enc. MJD'' we will be shooting for.

 Click '''VW''' again in the right MFD to get back to ''sling direct'' view.
 Adjust the Inc Angle to get as close as possible to the desired MJD.
 When the angle strays too much, 
 click '''VAR''' so that ''Outward angle'' is displayed. 
 Adjust ''Outward angle'' to bring the lines back into alignment. 
 Repeat the above process, until the date is as close as possible
 to the target date. 
 Click '''ADJ''' so that the increment is ''Fine'' 
 Adjust ''Outward angle'' to get the Cl. App. as close as possible. 

My current solution is Inc Angle of 110.99 degrees and Outward angle of -38.1864. Enc MJD is 55036.6951, and Cl. App is 6.726M<br>
Your Mileage may vary.

 Once a solution has been reached, click '''BCK''' twice on the Right MFD. 
 The View should be ''Maneuver'' and Maneuver mode should
 be ''off''. Click '''++''' to turn Maneuver mode ''on''
 Adjust Prograde Vel. and Ch. Plane vel. until the dotted yellow line on the Left MFD 
 lines up with the solid green line. 
 R. Inc should be as close as possible to 0, and Pe Ratio should be as close as possible to 1.000.
 Once this is done, click '''VW''' in the right MFD to get to ''target view''.
 Use rotational thrusters to get the cross in the middle of the target and burn until 
 ''Rel.V'' is as close to 0 as possible.
 Click '''VW''' twice to get to maneuver view, Click '''VAR''' to get to ''Maneuver mode'' and turn it off.
 Look at the Left MFD to see how you did. Additional corrections may be done as you get 
 closer to the moon.
