17 Cassini interplanetary phase experiments q In the early phase of the mission and for R<2.7 AU, the 4m HGA was continuously pointed to the Sun, acting as a heat shield and ensuring safety of bus instrumentation q Communications with ground were ensured by two LGAs q Attitude controlled by thrusters Use of LGA and thruster firings denied accurate measurements of non-gravitational accelerations before Jupiter encounter (2000)

18 Cassini s non- gravita8onal accelera8ons Except for orbital maneuvers, the two leading nongravitational accelerations are: q RTG s anisotropic thermal emission q Solar radiation pressure During three cruise radio science experiments (two solar opposition and a solar conjunction) the two accelerations were nearly aligned: a a RTG SP A M km s km s = 6 Their high correlation (0.96) makes impossible to separate the two accelerations with radio metric data. Disentangling the two effects is further complicated by variations of HGA thermo-optical coefficients. HGA thermo-optical properties have been inferred by temperature readings of two sensors mounted on the HGA back side m 2 kg

19 RTG s accelera8on The three on-board RTGs provide power through the natural radioactive decay of Pu 238 (half life = years - almost constant emission during time span considered). P = amc; P =13 kw; M=4600 kg r = ( A Zˆ β = R M R M R * 10 + s A X Xˆ * + A Yˆ Y * ) e βδt ratio of the spacecraft mass at injection to current mass
