Description:The Deep Space Climate Observatory (DSCOVR) was launched on 11 February 2015 and entered a Lissajous orbit around the Earth–moon/sun L1 Lagrange point on 8 June 2015. A Lissajous trajectory is not a closed orbit, and so it does not repeat with each revolution [1]. DSCOVR’s orbit amplitudes are Ax=Ay=281,476 km and Az=160,538 km [2], and it has an orbital period slightly less than half a year. The spacecraft maintains Earth pointing, which requires changing pitch, roll, and yaw angles with respect to the sun throughout the orbit [3]. It carries the instruments National Institute of Standards and Technology Advanced Radiometer for measuring the received radiation on Earth’s sunlit side, Earth Polychromatic Imaging Camera for taking images of Earth, and Plasma-Magnetometer for measuring the solar wind.
