The focus check is placed last to maximize settling time. Other than that, there is no compelling reason for any of the task ordering in this campaign, so we can shuffle the tasks to reduce slew overheads. Comments on the campaign as a whole: The work load looks to be very well distributed in this campaign. We seem to be well prepared for the required analysis. I see no trouble spots. Task mips-120 depends on several calibration tasks. It has a 72h turnaround time. The flats will be available after 24-48h. The darks and scattered background monitor each require 24h. These timings seem plausible, and they work well together. Comments on individual tasks: mips-950: I thought this task included a short exposure on the sky prior to the dark measurements. That still seems like a good idea. The 160 darks are in 70um SED mode and 24um sky; the 24um darks are in 70um NF mode and 160um sky. It might prove hard to get George's attention for modeling during IOC, so I would recommend getting him to run his radiometric models ASAP to predict 24um, 70um, and 160um backgrounds as a function of telescope temperature. mips-910: The two data sets should prove useful and interesting. It will be interesting to see how different the darks prove to be based on how many DCEs have been collected since the boost frame. I doubt that the dark current will come from the 35 DCEs and the read noise from the 50 DCEs. It seems more likely that all 85 DCEs will prove useful for both dark current and read noise. Scattered light will be an issue for the 24um darks. As part of the analysis, we probably need to compare the ground-based darks with the sky darks to measure and correct for scattered light. Getting a measure of the scattered light levels should be a high priority. If both this task and mips-950 included a short sky exposure, and if the data were collected with different pointings, we could probably get a very good measure of the scattered light levels. mips-917: Good cook. Good cookbook. mips-115: This task includes observations of the two 24um stims in both LOW and HIGH brightness modes. The latter will produce saturation, which might have some impact on the subsequent stim calibration task. I question whether we need the HIGH stim level observations since this is primarily a stim aliveness test. If we want to check the commanding, we can leave the HIGH stim observations in place. We should compare the stim brightnesses with the brightnesses measured during ground testing. I can provide numbers from appropriate ground tests. The 1h turnaround time is reasonable. mips-120: Are there any timing constraints on this task relative to the start of the campaign and relative to the 24um thermal anneal? In the analysis for this task, how important is it to get a handle on the scattered light levels in the 24um dark? mips-121: The 72h turnaround time does not seem excessive since this task depends on several other tasks that have 24-48h turnaround time.
