Objective

Validate the MIPS Photometry AOT (70um) as ready for beginning of science observations.

Description

Execute MIPS Phot/SR AOT for a sensible range of selectable parameters. Can be the same as: Select final operational parameters Tune IPP file as needed Several AORs will be constructed that will have : 1) 1 cycle small field/default scale for 3s, 10s 2) 1 cycle small field/fine scale for 3s, 10s 3) 1 cycle large field/default scale for 3s, 10s 4) 1 cycle large field/fine scale for 3s, 10s 5) do 1 - 4 with 3 cycles (3 s only) 6) raster map for 1 3x3 3 s only 7) do 1 for 20 cycles (10s only)

    Data Analysis

    The data should ready for scientific validation and for MIPS 70um photometry mode to be used by the astronomical community.

    Software Requirements

    Actions Following Analysis

    BCDs should be ready to be used for science.

    Failure Modes and Responses

    Photometry is one of the two main observing modes for MIPS. If this mode is not working properly, implement scan mapping observations instead.
