3 Preparing for Tracking Operations
3.1 Initial Preparations
1. Fill out the Operations Log At the commencement of your shift, fill out the NGSLR Operations Log as
shown in Appendix B. Make sure to keep this log sheet in a convenient place as you will continue to
enter additional information with each pass / ground calibration that is performed.
If this is the first satellite track of the week, perform step #2, otherwise continue to step 3.
2. Call the FAA Inform the FAA of pending operations immediately after beginning the operations log.
a. Call the FAA. (See the posting in the shelter for the current number)
b. Say something similar to:
This is Joe Smith at the Goddard Space Flight Center. I am calling to inform you that we are
commencing laser ranging operations.
c. Write down the name of person spoken to in the Operations Log, along with the current time.
3. Verify that the LRO mirror has been removed If the 45° LRO transmit mirror is still in place, flip the
lever to the OFF position and move the mount to a safe location off to the side (Figures 3 1 & 3 2). This
optic is only used during LRO operations.
Figure 3 1: LRO Insertion Mirror Figure 3 2: Diagram of the optical bench showing the operational location
of the LRO Insertion Mirror [1a] and the storage location [1b]. The
Autocollimator Turning mirror is shown on the right [2]
4. Verify that the Autocollimator Turning mirror has been lowered (Figure 3 2) If necessary, use the
controller mounted upside down on the telescope pier extension to drop the mirror below the beam
height.
