  6. Objectives & Overview • Explain Venus observing strategy. • Review areas of special concern with Venus observations and explain how these concerns are being addressed. • Determine if the implementation is correct and complete. • Why is Venus Special ? • At its farthest, Venus gets to be about 47 degrees from the Sun. • HST is normally not permitted to point within 50 degrees of the Sun.

  7. Venus Observing Program History • In 1995, HST observed Venus with GHRS and WFPC2 (GO 4518 and GO 5783). • In 1996, two GO Venus proposals (6607 and 6771) were approved by the TAC; and there was one GTO/WF2 program (6851) to observe Venus. All of these were cancelled by the STScI Director shortly after phase 2 submission. • In 1997, there was a GTO/STIS program (7581) to observe Venus. Much implementation work was done, but the program was then withdrawn by the PI. • In 2003, HST observed Venus with STIS (GO 8659). • NASA program 12433 is now planned for: • December 27-28, 2010 (2010.361-362) • January 22, 2011 • January 27, 2011

  8. Goals & Strategies • Scientific Goals • Coordinated observing with ESA’s Venus Express mission. • Map variations in SO2, SO, S2, and other UV absorbers. • Constrain models of Venus atmosphere and climate evolution • Observing Strategy • Observe while Venus is near maximum elongation • Observe while HST is in Earth’s shadow • A window of 9-14 minutes per orbit • Three visits of 2 orbits each. • Originally to have also been coordinated with Atkatsuki mission, but that spacecraft failed to achieve Venus orbit

  11. Venus Appearance at Observation • Apparent magnitude: -4.1 +/- 0.2 • Surface brightness: +1.5 (average for 1 square arcsecond of illuminated portion of disk) • Apparent diameter • Visit 1: 28.5 arcseconds • Visit 2: 21.4 arcseconds • Visit 3: 20.4 arcseconds • Phase angle • Visit 1: 97.3 degrees • Visit 2: 89.9 degrees • Visit 3: 79.4 degrees

  12. Vital Statistics

  13. Areas of Concern • Guide star acquisition failure • Spacecraft or instrument problem shortly before scheduled observing time • FGS exposure to Venus • HST being exposed to sunlight while pointed within the Solar Avoidance Zone (SAZ) • HST safing while pointed within the SAZ

  14. Guide Star Acquisition Failure • Concern • If attitude error is greater than the search radius, the guide star acquisition could fail resulting in the loss of the science. • Precautions • The chances are minimized by the short 5 degree slew to Venus. • Too late to perform guide star acquisition test. Stars are in solar avoidance zone. • Science exposures will proceed even if GS acquisition fails. • Special commanding specified to ignore “take data” flag. • AQEXPIRE timer adjusted via SMS edit. • Detector is protected because HST is in shadow • CCD is utilized for observation

  15. Problem Shortly Before Observation • Concern • An unrelated problem may threaten the Venus observing window. • In 1995, the Venus observation was originally lost due to an unrelated safing; but it was quickly replanned and executed successfully. • The 2003 Venus observations were delayed from 2001 due to the failure of the STIS side 1 electronics. • Remedy • Second choice coordination opportunity with Venus Express on January 23, 2011

  16. FGS Exposure To Venus • Concern • If the attitude error is large enough (> 300 arcseconds), an FGS could possibly see Venus and cause potential bright light exposure to the FGS photo-multiplier tubes. • Precautions • Choose a guide star that is as far as possible from Venus. • The chosen guide stars are: • Visit 01 : magnitude 12.4 and 15.5 arcminutes from Venus. • Visit 02 : magnitude 11.7 and 16.8 arcminutes from Venus. • Visit 03 : • Orbit 1: magnitude 11.2 and 13.8 arcminutes from Venus. • Orbit 2: magnitude 11.5 and 12.5 arcminutes from Venus.

  17. FGS Exposure To Venus • FGS PMT can tolerate and return to normal performance. • Goodrich assessed PMT damage should a worst-case event occur resulting in an attempted acquisition of Venus with an FGS (ref: Goodrich Memo A16-ST-2254) • Goodrich reports the short-term effect of the Venus acquisition would be the temporary incapacitation of the PMTs due to dark count elevation. While the exact value is not available for the given intensity, literature quotes range from several to 48 hours for recovery (for any target). • Goodrich performed a relative assessment of the long-term effects of Coulomb draw (charge depletion) while attempting to acquire Venus with an FGS. While it is hard to determine exactly how the FGS would behave if it attempted to perform an acquisition on Venus, depending on how long it spends with Venus in the FOV, you could see a decrease in reliability from 1-3%.

  21. HST FOV – Visit 03 Orbit 2

  22. HST in the Sun • Concern • While slewing away from Venus, HST will be exposed to sunlight and pointed inside the SAZ for up to 3m 2s. • HST’s maximum previous exposure to sunlight while pointed inside the SAZ was 2m 30s (2003 observation). • Pointing inside the SAZ while HST is in sunlight can be tolerated for at least 15 minutes before the temperature of the paint inside the OTA would become a contamination issue. (EM-MOSES-1267 and EM-MOSES-1268) • TCS has analyzed limits and has confirmed duration can be tolerated. • Precautions • Guide star search radius was reduced in order to save 10-30 seconds of acquisition time.

  23. HST Safing • Concern • HST must not enter inertial hold safe mode while pointed within the SAZ. • Precautions • Modifying the inertial hold safe mode response such that any condition that would normally lead to inertial hold without closing the AD leads to software sun point safe mode instead. • This was done in both prior HST observations of Venus.

  24. 2010 Venus ObservationsGSACQ Adjustments Merle Reinhart

  25. GSACQ Adjustments • Idea is to compress the time allowed for the single-star GSACQs to minimize the time in sunlight within 50° of the sun and/or provide more science exposing time. • Obvious places for a time compression are • Spiral Search time • Move back to the target attitude (GS Offset via #43 command) • STIS will ignore the TDF via special commanding. Thus, need to ensure if the GSACQ fails, that we are back at the target attitude for the science exposure. • This implies a reasonable setting of the AQEXPIRE timer in the SMS call to the GSACQ PLCP. • The AQEXPIRE changes are done as an SMS Edit. • If edit were to not occur, the only effect would be if the GSACQ failed, the spacecraft would not be maneuvered back to the target position prior to the initiation of the Track51 for the exposure.

  26. GSACQ Time ReductionSpecifics – Jan 22 Visit • Orbit #1 • OBAD with Trackers 2 & 3 immediately prior to single-star gsacq • Assumed error after the OBAD at the start of the gsacq is 20” • Time for spiral search = 32s (-40s) • At the target position, the guide star is 12” from the pickle centerline • Time for 32” decenterline maneuver = 36s (-19s) • Time for AQEXPIRE to fire and complete is 39s • 31s for maneuver + 8s for other overheads • Final GSACQ time = 344s + (-40s + -19s + 39s) = 324s • AQEXPIRE value = 324s – 39s – 3s = 282s • Orbit #2 • OBAD with Trackers 2 & 3 immediately prior to single-star gsacq • Assumed error after the OBAD at the start of the gsacq is 20” • Time for spiral search = 32s (-40s) • At the target position, the guide star is <1” from the pickle centerline • Time for 21” decenterline maneuver = 32s (-23s) • Time for AQEXPIRE to fire and complete is 35s • 27s for maneuver + 8s for other overheads • Final GSACQ time = 344s + (-40s + -23s + 35s) = 316s • AQEXPIRE value = 316s – 35s – 3s = 278s

  27. GSACQ Time ReductionSpecifics – Jan 27 Visit • Orbit #1 • OBAD with Trackers 1 & 2 immediately prior to single-star gsacq • Assumed error after the OBAD at the start of the gsacq is 20” • Time for spiral search = 32s (-40s) • At the target position, the guide star is 20” from the pickle centerline • Time for 41” decenterline maneuver = 39s (-16s) • Time for AQEXPIRE to fire and complete is 43s • 35s for maneuver + 8s for other overheads • Final GSACQ time = 344s + (-40s + -16s + 43s) = 331s • AQEXPIRE value = 331s – 43s – 3s = 285s • Orbit #2 • OBAD with Trackers 1 & 2 immediately prior to single-star gsacq • Assumed error after the OBAD at the start of the gsacq is 20” • Time for spiral search = 32s (-40s) • At the target position, the guide star is 42” from the pickle centerline • Time for 62” decenterline maneuver = 46s (-9s) • Time for AQEXPIRE to fire and complete is 49s • 41s for maneuver + 8s for other overheads • Final GSACQ time = 344s + (-40s + -9s + 49s) = 344s • AQEXPIRE value = 344s – 49s – 3s = 292s

  35. 3.0 Engineering Test / Installation 3.3 Standalone Testing • Objective • To validate Venus macro installation and back-out procedure in an operational scenario without impact to operations. The Standalone Testing was performed using STScI-provided test SMS. • DSTIF Test Bed Configuration • DMU (only one), DIUs (test configuration), CPM2 • PCS Simulator, Version 51A • 486 FSW Configuration (current on-orbit) • FSW 3.4A installed • BMIC enabled • Telemetry ‘H’ Format • Safemode tests and macros enabled for the SMS testing • CCS Ground Test Configuration • Ground System Software – CCS Version 7.1.1.0.4 • Database – O07300R1S

  36. 3.0 Engineering Test / Installation 3.3 Standalone Testing (continued) • The STScI generated test SMS was run twice. • Executed IP-219, Venus Observation SPC Macros, to patch the Safemode Responses and change the Sun Cosine Limit to support the Venus Observation • During the first run of the SMS, the acquisitions were allowed to complete nominally. • All of the acquisitions performed as expected. • During the second run of the SMS, the acquisitions were forced to run long in the PCS Simulator to allow the AQEXPIRE timer to fire off. • The setting of the AQEXPIRE parameter in the GSACQ blocks was verified to be long enough to allow enough time for the acquisitions to stop and maneuver the vehicle to the Target attitude before the Moving Target tracking slews were commanded. • Executed IP-219, Venus Observation SPC Macros, to back out the Macro changes. • If the AQEXPIRE command fires off while the #43 (Vehicle Offset Maneuver) command is being executed a Command Reject will occur. • This is the same situation detailed in Ops Note 1973. • It takes a very unique failure case for this to occur. • The Vehicle will be at the correct target location if this happens and there are no Health and Safety concerns. The acquisition will terminate correctly.

  37. 3.0 Engineering Test / Installation STIS Venus Observations • Test SMS (STISITDF) was generated and delivered to the SISE to validate special commanding and confirm the CCD observations with the TDF response disabled, allowing the exposure to continue regardless of the results of the GSAcq • All external CCD exposures are normally taken with TDF response enabled. • Test SMS was executed on VSTIF on 12-2-10 • NSSC-1 FSW BQ 9.0.8 • STIS FSW CS5.01/MIE4.4 (ov0008) • Bus monitor tool enabled for logging • STIS Ops Benches in Safe mode prior to test start • SMS was executed twice, once with TDF enabled and once with TDF disabled • SMS transitioned STIS from Safe to Operate and then performed two CCD images. One with TDF response disabled and one with TDF Response Enabled. • CCD Images were then dumped and headers reviewed to verify CCD Shutter performance.

  38. 3.0 Engineering Test / Installation STIS Venus Observations • Summary • STIS CCD Shutter opens and closes normally regardless of TDF state when TDF response in disabled. • Additional manual testing of STIS CCD shutter response to TDF state toggling while exposure in progress was also performed. • CCD Shutter remained open.
