Introduction This document provides an overview of the Near Earth Asteroid Rendezvous Gamma-Ray Level 2 Observation Log archive. These documents describe the systems that were used to command and control the spacecraft during times when XGRS was controlling attitude, as well as commands that were used to configure the instrumentation during the orbital encounter. 2. Directory Contents Three types of files are included in this directory: a. XGRS_COMMAND_DESC.* Describes the Observation Log macro names and configuration parameters. b. XGRS_INST_USER_GUIDE4* Commanding and CAS generation for instrument and commanding of spacecraft. Lists formats and other higher level issues for team members to build instrument control macros. c. XGRS_OBSLOG* Actual Observation Log of dates and times of command macros that were executed by the spacecraft and instrument systems. Also included are label files for each file type. Operations log for the XGRS instrument during the orbital encounter with the Eros433 Asteroid. The table is text and proceeds in time from top (beginning of mission) to bottom (end of mission). Each entry (row) is the instrument controlmacro that was issued at the identified time. PARM 1 to 6 fields show the macro configuration parameters that were issued.
