Title:   MIPS Photometry/Super Resolution AOT Validation            
                 
Objective:   Explore MIPS Phot/SR AOT parameter space            
                 
Description:   Execute MIPS Phot/SR AOT for all available selectable parameters, or a sensible range.            
                 
    Can be the same as:   Select final operational parameters        
        Tune IPP file as needed        
                 
    Several AORs will be constructed that will have :            
      1) one small field/large pixel scale AOR for each available exposure time, and for one, two, and three bands          
        70 micron, 70 + 160 micron, all, do 30 seconds for 24 micron band only -- one band observation        
      2) three large field/large pixel scale AOR for all three bands for different 24 micron reference positions -- 3 seconds only          
      3) one small field/small pixel scale AOR and one large field/small pixel scale AOR for 70 micron band -- 10 seconds only          
      4) do one instance of 1 and 2 for 3 cycles          
        3 bands for 10 seconds 3 times, small field/small pixel scale 10 seconds 3 times        
                 
Place in Schedule:   After aperture door open            
    After CTA/instrument cool down:            
    For 24um, the backgrd radiance must be less than 1.0E-11 W/cm2/sr (< 30K).            
    For 70um, the backgrd radiance must be less than 1.0E-12 W/cm2/sr (< 12 K).            
    For 160um, the backgrd radiance must be less than 5.4E-13 W/cm2/sr (< 6 K).            
    It may be possible to split this test into parts executed at different times based            
    on telescope temperature, but imaging in all three bands is a better use of time.            
    Location of MIPS apertures must be completed.            
    Basic instrument commanding and functionality must have been confirmed.            
    After initial Phot/SR AOT testing is complete.            
    Before final operational parameters are set and instrument tuning complete.            
                 
Required Conditions:   CTA and instrument at nominal operational temperature.            
    PCS performance:   Absolute pointing 10 arcsecs        
        Offsetting nominal        
                 
Resources:                
  duration (best estimate)         2 hrs    
  real time downlink (Y / N)         No    
  special post event actions (Y / N)         No    
                 
Outcome:                
  description         Perform observations using every selectable parameter available in    
            the AOT, and doing multiple repeats of the sequences.    
  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 and data analysis tools.    
            MIPS Phot/SR AOT required    
                 
Contingency Plan:           Revisit uplink sequence/command expansion, or AOT design.
