© Copyright 2002 ABB Bomem Inc. Page 3 Heritage from ACE: Background Information ACE-FTS development started early 1999 (Phase B contract award) under CSA’s Space Science program. Prime contractor is ABB Inc., main sub- contractors are Ball Aerospace and EMS Technologies. Over 150 persons have contributed to the ACE-FTS development. The instrument design is based on the classical Michelson interferometer with an optimised double-pass optical layout. The instrument also includes two 128x128 imagers and an active suntracker. ACE-FTS is a relatively complex instrument: more than 50 optical components, 3 mechanisms, severe mass/power limitations, cryogenically-cooled IR detectors... ACE-FTS was delivered to the Canadian Space Agency September 18 th, 2002 Section 1) Overview of ACE heritage

Page 9 Structural Design The instrument FEA has more than 140,000 elements Structural design of such an instrument is paramount for vibration qualification Thousands of hours were needed for the detailed structural analyses Design of interferometer rotary arm flexures and retro-reflector mounting VERY critical. Excellent correlation between FEA and tests ACE-FTS was qualified under vibrations both at instrument-level and spacecraft-level Significant vibration over-test at instrument-level even if FLV was used Section 1) Overview of ACE heritage
