| Title: | MIPS Scan Map of the HH 7-11 Region | |||||||
| Note: | This region has very bright IR sources -- this test can investigate how much of an impact there will be in an AOR. | |||||||
| Objective: | Verify scientific validity of MIPS Scan pipeline products and ERO | |||||||
| Description: | Acquire normal scan map observations of the HH 7-11 region over a field 1.0 degree square field. | |||||||
| Fast scan rate, 60 arcminute square field, 5 arcmin leg offsets, 4 cycles | ||||||||
| Can be the same as: | Evaluate fully supported AOTs (MIPS Scan) | |||||||
| ERO: Press release observation | ||||||||
| Place in Schedule: | After apertrue door open | |||||||
| After CTA/instrument cool down and all other instrument testing is complete. | ||||||||
| For 160um, the backgrd radiance must be less than 5.4E-13 W/cm2/sr (< 6 - 7 K). | ||||||||
| After Scan AOT functionality testing is complete. | ||||||||
| Can be concurrent with other AOT/instrument tests. | ||||||||
| Required Conditions: | CTA and instrument at nominal operating temperature for 160 micron band (mirror at 6 K). | |||||||
| PCS performance: 10 arcsec pointing and nominal offsetting and scan stability | ||||||||
| Resources: | ||||||||
| duration (best estimate) | 3.0 hrs | |||||||
| real time downlink (Y / N) | No | |||||||
| special post event actions (Y / N) | No | |||||||
| Outcome: | ||||||||
| description | Fully calibrated MIPS scan map data products in three bands. | |||||||
| can proceed in parallel with other activity | No - dedicated observing | |||||||
| must outcome be confirmed before next event / test /activity | No | |||||||
| method of confirmation (sensor TLM, data analysis, etc.) | Data analysis | |||||||
| estimate of data turn around if required for confirmation | 48 hrs | |||||||
| Unique or included in planned uplink or downlink/analysis tool | Standard pipeline system and standard data analysis tools required. | |||||||
| MIPS Scan AOT required for uplink. | ||||||||
| Contingency Plan: | Revisit pipeline and/or AOT design depending on the nature of failure. | |||||||
