Information about direct solar illumination of RPW sensors during S/C manoeuvres.

SCM

SCM temperature change during S/C maneouvre: SCM_Temp_SC_Maneuv.pptx

SCM is switched off when direct solar illumination occurs

PA + ANT

No significant impact as long as the illumination duration is not too long.

PA remain ON when direct solar illumination occurs for short enough maneouvre (i.e., de-icing).

They were however switched OFF during manoeuvers at EGAM (see comments below in French for details).
