Sequencer Site SIRTF IOC Activity c. 2002

CAID: MIPS-322 Title: 70um First Light & Ph/SR AOT Validation - preliminary
 
System: MIPS Principal: alberto Deputy: cengelbracht
Objective:  
Confirm basic functionality of small field 70um
photometry
 
Description:
Several AORs will be constructed:

1) 1 cycle small field/default scale photometry
for 3s, 10s
2) 3 cycles small field/default scale 
photometry
for 3s

NEED TO ALSO TEST NARROW-FIELD 
MODE HERE
Need to use calibrating stars, important within
the IOC
campaign.
 
Day:   42.4236111111168 Suggested Order:   G300
 
Must be preceded by these activities (list by CAID):   MIPS-101
 
Place in Schedule:   After cooldown, first light, command verification. For 70um, the background radiance must be < 1.0E-12 W/cm2/sr (< 12K)
 
Priority:   Critical


Conditions

Maximum telescope temperature: 12 K
 
Minimum telescope temperature: 5.5 K
 
Should activity be repeated if focus changes?   No     Repeat if focus changes by 0 mm
 
Maximum absolute pointing uncertainty: 10 arcsec (1 sigma radial)
 
Maximum precision offset uncertainty: 1.4 arcsec  (1 sigma radial)
 
Observatory configuration: standard
 
Go/No Go criteria:


Resources

Duration:   18 minutes
 
Real time downlink:   No   

Data Volume (uncompressed): 48 Mbits
 
List Blocks, AORs, SERs, IERs, or unique sequences required (uplink): standard AORs
 
List Analysis tools required (downlink):   standard pipeline; image analysis

Outcome


Estimate of data turn around:   24 hours
 
Description: Standard Phtometry AOT.
 
Can proceed in parallel with other activity: No
 
Must outcome be confirmed before next activity: No
 
Method of Confirmation:   Analysis of BCDs products, using standard IRAF/ IDL software tools.
 
 
Success criteria: Images unsaturated for 10s exposures; decent space weather. Since this one of our standard observing mode the success criteria are defined in detail in SSC Document XXXX by W. Mahoney (2001).
 
Contingency plan:  Revise AOT logic if necessary. Await for full AOT confirmation.
