  1. SPICA Status in Japan April 6, 2010 T. Nakagawa (ISAS/JAXA)

  2. Goals of the meeting • To set up a common strategy to promote the assessment study of US-led instrument(s) efficiently • Key issues to be addressed • Unique capability to be enabled by US-led instrument(s) • Especially complementarity with SAFARI • Compatibility with stringent resource allocation

  3. Status of SPICA in Japan • JAXA (and ISAS) regards SPICA as a very important mission which must be realized in the near future. • SPICA is officially in the "pre-project phase" at JAXA. This "pre-project" phase started in July 2008 with a period of three years. • Following reviewing and judgement processes by ISAS, JAXA plans to have a " SPICA phase up review “ toward the next phase(“ Project phase”) in FY2011.  • JAXA is planning to submit a budgetary proposal for SPICA with the target of launch in FY2018 to the government this summer.

  24. Make it Feasible !

  25. Revolution of Design Philosophy Cryocoolers No Cryogen → Large Telescope ISO: 2.6t for 60cm → SPICA 3.7t for 3.5m

  26. Heritage of Mechanical Cryocoolers • AKARI • 2-stage Stirling 200mW @ 20 K • Long-life test > 5yrs • 2006 • SUZAKU • ADR, 60mk reached • 2005 • Cryocooler technology is strategic techniquie for space science in Japan • Future Missions: Kaguya, Planet-C, ASTRO-G, ASTRO-H, SPICA • SMILES • JT30mW@ 4.5 K • 2009

  27. Cryocoolers for SPICA • Most of the coolers will be flight-proven very soon.

  28. Monolithic mirror • 3.5m is technically a good choice • Monolithic Mirror • Ceramic material (SiC) • No deployable mechanism • Simple, Feasible, Reliable • Smooth PSF • Essential for Coronagraph • Herschel & AKARI Heritage • SPICA: WFE 0.35μm, 5K (3.5m) • AKARI: WFE 0.35μm, 6K (70cm) • Herschel: WFE 6μm, 80K (3.5m)

  29. SPICA as an International Mission

  30. International Mission SPICA Proposal to JAXA (P.I. Nakagawa, JAXA) • Japan (JAXA and Universities) • Integration & Test • Spacecraft • Mission Cryogenics (AKARI, A-H Heritage) • MIR Instrument (AKRI Heritage) • Including Coronagraph • ESA • Telescope (Herschel Heritage) • Ground Station • User Support • European Consortium (ESA’s management) • Far-Infrared Imaging Spectrometer (SAFARI) • Collaborations under discussion • FIR~Sub mm Spectrograph by USA • NIR guidance caemra by Korea & NAOJ ESA Cosmic Vision Proposal (P.I. Swinyard, RAL, UK)

  31. Official Statement by SPC on SPICA • At the occasion of its 128th meeting, the SPC decided to postpone its decision regarding the participation of ESA to the definition phase of SPICA, while expressing its strong support to the mission scientific goals as stated by the SSAC. It invites the Executive to pursue discussions with JAXA and clarify the framework of the proposed cooperation and come back with a more detailed proposal, if feasible already at the June 2010 SPC meeting.

  32. Long-term schedule • No major change in Japan • The target of launch is in FY2018 • SPC comments • Budgetary and technically feasible schedule? • Agency-level discussion under way

  33. Short-term schedule (draft) • Details of short-term schedule under discussion • Major Reviews and related issues • SRR (Q1 FY2010, TBC) • RFP (Q2-Q3 FY2010, TBC) • SDR (Q4 FY 2010 (-11), TBC) • Project Review (in FY 2011) • Other Reviews • FPI review • April – July 2010: Domestic review on Japanese-led instruments • Late 2010: International Review of whole FPI • STA Specifications Discussion • Scientific Assessment by SPICA Task force (Japan) in 2009 • ESA-JAXA review/agreement: (by AWG in May)

  34. Issues that could affect the schedule • Budgetary Issues • Technical Issues • STA Delivery Time • Current schedule: end of 2016 • Tight schedule for assembly and test of the whole system after the STA delivery • FPI Delivery Time • Current schedule: mid 2016 for FM • Comments from ESA on a tight schedule for SAFARI • Technical uncertainty in some of FPIs (e.g. Coronagraph) • Technical critical areas • Attitude and pointing control (including isolation of vibration) • Thermal design and verification • Cryocooler validation (long-life test)

  35. Nominal/Cost Reduction Plan

  36. Summary • Due to the budgetary constraint, JAXA proposes to change the launching vehicle from HIIB (5S-H fairing) to HIIA (5S fairing). • To accommodate SPICA in a shorter fairing (5S), JAXA proposes to change the optical parameters of STA as follows (see proposal for details): • M1: 3.5 → 3.2 m (EPD 3.35 → 3.0m) • Short M1-M2 distance (2986 mm → 2511 mm) • SPICA Task Force evaluated that the new STA can meet most of scientific requirements • ESA and JAXA are now making discussions on STA size toward the agreement.
