Sequencer Site SIRTF IOC Activity c. 2002

CAID: MIPS-330 Title: Total Power Skeleton AOT Validation
 
System: MIPS Principal: mrieke Deputy: dfrayer, SStolovy
Objective:  
Explore MIPS TPM AOT parameter space
 
Description:
Execute MIPS TPM AOT for the three allowed
integration times, 5 cycles each.  The target 
field should include a point source of known
brightness to verify the sensitivity limits.
 
Day:   61.7312500000044 Suggested Order:   O750
 
Must be preceded by these activities (list by CAID):   MIPS-246
 
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). Location of MIPS apertures must be completed. Basic instrument commanding and functionality must have been confirmed. After initial TPM skeleton AOT testing is complete. Before final operational parameters are set and instrument tuning complete.

List Blocks, AORs, SERs, IERs, or unique sequences required (uplink): MIPS TPM skeleton AOT required
 
List Analysis tools required (downlink):   Standard pipeline if available for skeleton AOT and data analysis tools.

Outcome


Estimate of data turn around:   48 hours
 
Description: Perform observations using every selectable parameter available in the AOT, and doing multiple repeats of the sequences.

Must outcome be confirmed before next activity: No
 
Method of Confirmation:   Data analysis
 
 
Success criteria:
 
Contingency plan:  Revisit uplink sequence/command expansion, or AOT design.
