Objective

Demonstrate that MIPS 24 µm scan map AOT obtains data as expected in a rudamentary fashion.

Description

Execute MIPS scan map AOT for a single set of parameter selections. For the preliminary validation, only fast scan is used.

Data Collected

This task is implemented by commanding two 1-degree-long fast scans offset by 0 arcsec in the cross-scan direction. The exposures are 3 s individually for a total of 30 sec total integration time. The target is NGC 2516 a star cluster with several members bright enough for 24 µm photospheric detection.
