  3. Science Operations during the PD phaseNarrative • WBS 3.2 Requirements • WBS 3.2.1: Observing Operations Concept Document (OOCD) • “Example observations”, including simulations of quantitative science output from NGAO + science instrument • Uses cases, leading to operations sequences and science tools • WBS 3.4 System architecture • WBS 3.4.4: NGAO Sequences Definitions Document (SDD) • WBS 3.6Science Ops Tools Design • WBS 3.6.1 Multi-system Command Sequencer (MCS) • WBS 3.6.2 User Interfaces • WBS 3.6.3 Pre and post-observing science support tools • WBS 3.6.4 Data server • WBS 3.9 Operations Transitions • WBS 3.9.1 Ops Plans • WBS 3.9.2 Ops Handover

  4. SDM (KAON 511) WBS 3.1 Science requirements • OOCD document: • Keck standard • Example observations • Planning • User • System • Observing • User • System • Post-observing • Uses cases • Use case 1 • User • System • Use case 2 • User • System WBS 3.2 WBS 3.1.3 -- 3.1.6 users inputs Science observing planning, simulation and execution WBS 3.1.2 Re-planning (phased) approach? (New) performance budgets User Interfaces design WBS 6.2.2 WBS 6.2.3 WBS 6.2.4 NGAO sequences definitions document WBS 3.4.4: document activity WBS name

  5. OOCD document: • Keck standard • Example observations • Planning • User • System • Observing • User • System • Post-observing • Uses cases • Use case 1 • User • System • Use case 2 • User • System WBS 3.2 The detailed sequences will be documented In the NGAO SDD. The context will be provided in the OOCD User Interfaces WBS 6.2.2 WBS 6.2.3 WBS 6.2.4 NGAO sequences definitions document WBS 3.4.4: MCS sequences WBS 6.1.2 WBS 6.1.3 WBS 6.1.4 document activity WBS name

NGAO software architecture document WBS 3.4.3 • OOCD document: • Keck standard • Example observations • Planning • User • System • Observing • User • System • Post-observing • Uses cases • Use case 1 • User • System • Use case 2 • User • System WBS 3.2 External ICD WBS 3.5 Internal ICD WBS 3.6 User Interfaces WBS 6.2.2 WBS 6.2.3 WBS 6.2.4 Coordination with general software effort!! NGAO sequences definitions document WBS 3.4.4: MCS sequences WBS 6.1.2 WBS 6.1.3 WBS 6.1.4 document activity WBS name

  7. NGAO software architecture document WBS 3.4.3 WSPS/outline for the deliverables - Operations concept? - Software Interface? WBS 3.5 External ICD Internal ICD WBS 3.6 WBS 3.4.4: NGAO sequences definitions document WBS 6.1.1: MCS infrastructure document UI infrastructure document WBS 6.2.1: MCS sequences WBS 6.1.2 WBS 6.1.3 WBS 6.1.4 WBS 6.4.1: Data server infrastructure User Interfaces WBS 6.2.2 WBS 6.2.3 WBS 6.2.4 document activity WBS name

  8. Science Operations during the PD phaseWork in progress… • Plan the deliverables: • Outline/standard for the document • Plan for release(s) and content update • Lead person per document / section • How to include (realistic) science instruments for quantitative estimates for the example observations • Phase the effort (under the assumption there will be a learning curve on the science instruments)…

  9. PrioritiesHIGH… • OOCD • Outline for release 1: • Get buy-in and include suggestions / comments • How do we include a case for the wide fov science? (assumptions, assumptions…) • Sequences Definitions Document • Outline and start of release 1 [Not a perfect flow-down..] • Sci ops architecture • Release 1 for system infrastructure (MCS)

  10. Prioritieslow… • Science operations support tools • Release 1 in support of working on observing scenarios (i.e., narrow-field science:OSIRIS, VIS/NIR-IMGR) • Keep it descriptive for d-IFS for instance?? • User Interface (release 1 - tbd) • Observing sequences control • Science observing sequences • Awaiting progress on science instrument [e.g., fine centering with coronagraph] • Troubleshooting & alarm handling? • Operations Transitions (100h for DLM) • Outline for document (~ 20h or less)

  11. Comments and discussion • Questions about priorities? • High and low • “Build to cost paradigm”, can be seen as: • Opportunity to deliver an integrated science machine • Driven by the science instruments requirements: • Review science case to cost-benefit • Include design/build of science instruments • Focus on science instruments rather than details on science operations and observing sequences, • e.g, who cares about 5% observing efficiency when you don’t know whether there will be 0, 3 or 6 d-IFS • Outstanding science instruments are key to AO success!
