Abstract
The Rapid Reconnaissance and Response (R3 ) Mission Plan defines the baseline mission and discusses the set of activities for which spacecraft sequences and ground procedures will be developed and tested. The Mission Overview section summarizes the mission and its objectives, as well as the mission phases and spacecraft modes defined for the project. The Flight System section describes the baseline satellite subsystems, while the Instruments section discusses the radiation dosimeter, microbolometer, and visible imager that will be used for science operations. Finally, the Mission Design section describes the image processing algorithms to be used onboard the spacecraft, along with certain analyses that were performed to support the design of the mission. This document will be updated periodically to reflect the current state of the mission design and operations plan. In addition, the information in this document supersedes the information contained in the following memos: R3-TM-2009-013 and R3-TM-2010-001 (Orbit Analysis); R3-TM-2010-002 (Data Return Strategy); and R3-TM-2009-017 and R3-TM-2010-03 (Mission Phases and Spacecraft Modes of Operation).
