  1. CRaTER Pre-Environmental Review(I-PER)Engineering Requirements/Design UpdatesBob Goeke September 10-11, 2007

  2. Resource Status

  3. Mechanical Design Changes since CDR • Top Cover was redesigned to increase the stiffness of the cover and the E-Box/CRaTER Assembly. • The material for the Digital to Analog cable clamp was changed from Teflon to Aluminum. • Added a floating nut plate on the telescope to provide mounting location for the Thermal Blanket hardware. • Redesigned strain relief for detector mounts

  4. Electrical Design Changes since CDR • Reduced analog gain of thin detectors by 3X per science requirement change. • Changed internal calibration low rate clock period from 2Hz to 8Hz • Added 32-sample averaging to housekeeping data • Rebuffered PWM DACs to reduce noise coupling from the digital 5VDC supply • Added relay on output of DDC 1553 module Data Design Changes since CDR • None

  5. Thermal Design Changes since CDR • No changes to design • Thermal model was found deficient in June TIM • Modeling software was not calculating conduction of e-box walls correctly. • Thermal blanket implementation doubled the effective radiating area of the (single layer) telescope aperture. • Net result is an increase in temperature gradient from the telescope to the mounting interface.

  6. Electronic Components • Thermal-Vacuum test results on Flight Unit internal components • Max junction numbers assume +40C instrument reference temperature (hot qual)
