Solar-B Science Update and Operations Planning

Get the latest updates on Solar-B project progress and learn about key considerations for optimizing operation costs and increasing science return on investment. Discuss data distribution, staffing plans, and implementation of coordinated science planning. Define roles and responsibilities of schedule coordinators and Solar-B team members. Explore the distinction between observations and research topics in "fencing off" data. Quantify personnel requirements and define software responsibilities. Address action items related to evening uplinks and NASA GI/GO program concept.

  1. Solar-B Science Working Group February 3,2003 Larry Hill – NASA Solar-B Project Manager

  2. Optics have been coated and tested 2 of 3 opto-mechanical assemblies in final testing Electronic boards assembled, in test MIRror Assembly EIS Components Spectrometer Entrance Filter Grating Assembly Slit/Slot Assembly

  3. Tube completed, internal harnesses installed Assembly level bakeout completed Optic – being polished at Goodrich X-Ray Telescope • Tube completed, internal harnesses installed • Assembly level bakeout completed • Mechanisms being assembled • Optic – being polished at Goodrich

  4. Focal Plane Package • Structure received, heaters and cables installed • SpectroPolarimeter elements currently being installed • Majority of optical subassemblies ready for installation • Tunable filter being assembled

  5. US committed to support Solar-B MO&DA MO&DA budgets are adequate and competitive for extended mission phases Need to consider methods to minimize operation costs to increase science return on investment Questions to be finalized Data downlink Data distribution and archiving Operations Staffing Plans, near and long term Implementation of Coordinated Science Planning Near Term Activitites Define elements necessary to support EIC/MIC MO&DA Expectations

  6. MO&DA Team Explain in more detail the functions of the schedule coordinators and the members of the Solar-B team in establishing inputs into the monthly planning meeting. Define the distinction between observations and research topics in “fencing off” data. Quantify the personnel from each team and each country to support daily operations. Define the requirements for the level 0 reformatter and who should be responsible for the software. Increase the level of detailed requirements and interface definition for each of the operations software elements. Action Items

  7. Matsuzaki Can we schedule evening uplinks? Establish the time required to prepare the uplink once the OP/OG is formulated. Davis Define the concept proposed for the NASA GI/GO program Action Items (2)
