Abstract:
The maneuver cancellation analysis consists of cost contour plots employed by the Cassini maneuver team. The plots are two-dimensional linear representations of a larger sixdimensional solution to a multi-maneuver, multi-encounter mission at Saturn. By using contours plotted with B•R and B•T components, it is possible to view the effects ΔV on for various encounter positions in the B-plane. The plot is used in operations to help determine if the Approach Maneuver (ensuing encounter minus three days) and/or the Cleanup Maneuver (ensuing encounter plus three days) can be cancelled and also is a linear check of an integrated solution.
