Initial alignment of M1,M2 and CLU OTA WFE map at T=20C uniform Average of upside top and upside down giving Zero-G WFE OTA upside top Gravitational deformation of OTA optics 20nm rms ~ l/32 rms @633nm = Strehl ~ 0.96 Solar-B Science Meeting, 2005.11.8-11 in Kyoto
OTA Optical Thermal Test:2005.3.11-20 Optical performance of OTA under the thermal condition in orbit Solar-B Science Meeting, 2005.11.8-11 in Kyoto
Optical performance of OTA under the thermal condition in orbit Difference of WFE map from T=20C uniform Cold case: Hot case M1~ +20C , upper truss ~ -30C M1~ +30C, upper truss ~ + 2C DWFE ~15nm rms DWFE ~11nm rms It is expected that when the M1 temperature reaches ~55C, the optical performance of OTA degrades to Strehl ~ 0.8 @500nm. The temperature increase of M1 is caused by contamination of M1, and the ‘mission life’ of OTA is estimated to be > 3yr, which is realized by the extensive baking of the components.
