CAID: MIPS-327 Title: Scan AOT Validation - med speed
 
System: MIPS Principal: dlp Deputy: alberto
Objective:  
Explore MIPS Scan AOT parameter space and
to validate Scan Map AOT in the three  MIPS 
bands
(24um,  70um and 160um), for  a sample of  
scan
lengths
and scan rates. (using MIPS-325 as a guide).
 
Description:
Execute MIPS Scan AOTs for all available
selectable parameters, or a sensible range. 
Not
all scan lengths need be tested -- do 
minimum,
maximum, and several intermediate. Can be 
the test same as: Select final operational
parameters

Tune IPP file as needed 
Several AORs will be constructed using each 
scan
rate that will have :		
1) one forward and reverse minimum length 
scan
legs for each of four available offsets (all 
scan rates)	
2) one forward and reverse maximum length 
scan
legs for mimimum and maximum offsets 
(fast rate only)	
3) one X six forward and reverse medium 
length
scan legs at two of four available offsets (fast
rate only)	
4) do one instance of 1 for 3 cycles (slow rate
only)
 
Day:   65.2291666666715 Suggested Order:   P300
 
Must be preceded by these activities (list by CAID):   MIPS-130, MIPS-132, MIPS-235, MIPS-326
 
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). Mapping in all three bands is optimal use of time. Location of MIPS apertures must be completed. Basic instrument commanding and functionality must have been confirmed. After initial Scan AOT testing is complete. Before final operational parameters are set and instrument tuning complete.
 
Priority:   Necessary


Conditions

Maximum telescope temperature: 6.5 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: CE, arrays, CSMM working; scan rate synched to slew rate


Resources

Duration:   300 minutes
 
Real time downlink:   No   

Data Volume (uncompressed): 1000 Mbits
 
List Blocks, AORs, SERs, IERs, or unique sequences required (uplink): Standard pipeline and data analysis tools. MIPS Scan AOT required
 
List Analysis tools required (downlink):   Standard MIPS pipeline; image analysis tools; telemetry analysis tools

Outcome


Estimate of data turn around:   24 hours
 
Description: Several scans at minimum, maximum, and intermediate lengths, each using all three scan rates. Also, several small maps of varying numbers of legs, cross scan offsets, and map cycles.
 
Can proceed in parallel with other activity: No
 
Must outcome be confirmed before next activity: No
 
Method of Confirmation:   Data analysis will show whether CSMM goes where it is told at the same time as the spacecraft.
 
 
Success criteria: Data is completely downlinked. CSMM properly synched to slew.
 
Contingency plan:  Revisit uplink sequence/command expansion, or AOT design. Revisit CSMM parameter space. Delays beginning of MIPS science observations.
