ASTP experiment support data processing

Activities associated with the generation of ASTP experiment support data in the areas of spacecraft ephemeris and orientation and instrument pointing and field-of-view are documented. It is intended that this document represent a cradle-to-grave chronicle of these activities. To satisfy this intent while facilitating the ready dissemination of information, the document is being published twice. The first publication, scheduled for release prior to ASTP liftoff, includes all preflight phases of the experiment support activity in addition to those appendixes that do not pertain to any mission-specific data. The second publication will provide any required updates to the original documentation and will add all mission-specific data, including documentation of all postflight data processing activities and data archiving information.
