THEMIS Electric Field Instrument (EFI) Instrument Suite PER The THEMIS EFI, IDPU and II&T Teams

Outline Personnel and Organization Summary of EFI Status at I-PER Test Results To-Date (Instrument- and Suite-Level) Summary Vibration TVAC Electrical PFR Status Fulfillment of Mission Requirements Tests To Be Completed at Suite Level

Personnel and Organization Organizational Chart (all UCB unless noted): Prof. F. Mozer (EFI Co-I). Drs. J. Bonnell, G. Delory, A. Hull (Project Scientists) P. Turin (Lead ME), Dr. D. Pankow (Advising ME) B. Donakowski (EFI Lead ME, SPB, Facilities) G. Dalton (SPB, EFI GSE ME), K. McKee (ME), S. Martin (MT) R. Duck (AXB ME) D. Schickele (Preamp, Sensor Cables, Facilities ME) S. Grimmer, R. Gupta (ME GSRs) S. Jelinsky, S. Marker (Facilities and TVAC Staff) S. Harris (BEB Lead EE), H. Richard (BEB EE) J. Lewis, F. Harvey (GSE) Technical Staff (H. Bersch, Y. Irwin, H. Yuan, B. Dalen, N. Castillo, Wm. Greer (UCLA), et al.) R. Ergun (DFB Co-I; CU-Boulder) J. Westfall, A. Nammari, K. Stevens (DFB SysE, EEs; CU-Boulder) C. Cully (DFB GSR; CU-Boulder)

EFI Status at I-PER Requirements and Design: Procurement: No major changes to Requirements or Design since M-CDR (see Changes Since M-CDR and PFR Status for details). All RFAs from previous reviews closed out. Procurement: All procurement is complete. Personnel, Assembly and Test: Team has done an amazing job. 5 full FLT complements and 1 set of FLT Spare SPBs and AXBs will have been completed and either delivered to II&T or have completed II&T by the end of June ’05 (roughly 6 weeks per set). BEB assembly complete in Dec ’04; bench testing through FM3 complete. DFB assembly complete in Feb ’05; bench testing through FM3 complete. Reduction in Force to begin May and June ’05. Final EFI team will have one half-time Scientist (Instrument Lead), two half-time MechE (shared with Probe I&T) and one half-time ElectE (shared with Probe I&T).

Changes Since M-CDR Final changes to Mechanical and Electrical Designs (see also PFR Status): AXB AXB Boom length reduced to 7.0 meters tip-to-tip based on CBE of Probe mass properties as of Nov ’04 and std. GSFC and UCB dynamic stability requirements and boom mode resonance keep-outs. AXB Sensor length reduced from 40 to 30 inches to improve straightness and stability of deploy. SPB SPB Sensor (Sphere) coating changed to DAG-213 b/c of non-uniform TiN coating. Spheres are refurbished (replaced) at end of II&T flow during final restow to ensure high-quality DAG-213 surface on-orbit. SPB Doors held open, rather than closed upon Sphere deploy. Slight modifications to Door Retention Plungers to make actuation more robust. DFB Analog bandwidth on AC-coupled E-field channels on DFB increased to 8 kHz to match maximum ADC sampling rates. AKR-band filter modified to better reject signals below 100 kHz (1-pole to N-pole). Spin-axis (AXB) E-field gain reduced to better accomidate the possible voltage offset due to spacecraft charging. BEB Additional power supply filter capacitors added to reduce susceptibility to conducted noise from LVPS switching supplies in AKR band (approx. 210 kHz).

F1 Testing To-Date Preamp SPB and AXB BEB DFB Special Thermal Qualification and Acceptance Test. SPB and AXB Cable Proof-Loading Test. Fine Wire TVAC Deploy Test (SPB only). Functional (Deploy) Test.

EFI TVAC Testing

EFI PreAmp Thermal Testing Status ETU 1 Preamp had no problems but FR4 board was switched to Thermount 85 NT for ETU 2 and flight Six ETU 2 Qual Units went through 24 cycles, Two of those units added an additional 14 cycles for a total of 38 Upper limit recently changed from 65 to 90 in September 04 due to receipt of optical testing data on DAG 213.

EFI SPB Thermal Testing Status Qual ETU motor was a motor only stress test, no problems seen SPB design changed from flying with doors closed to flying with doors open. ETU was retested after the small modifications this required Calibration runs done with the sphere keyreels to determine release tension at hot and cold deployment conditions

EFI AXB Thermal Testing Status F2 AXB will be used in Suite F1 TVAC because F1 AXB had to be delivered to swales F1 AXB accumulated an extra 6 cycles on its own F2 AXB will get 6 cycles with Suite F1 and 6 cycles with Suite F2

EFI Electrical and Integration Testing

SciCal SPB and AXB units tested in pairs using Flight BEB (Feb ’05). Complete functionality of BEB, Preamp, and Bias System (BIAS, USHER, GUARD, etc.) tested and calibrated: DC Bias Calibration (Sensor bias current vs. BIAS DAC setting). DC Transfer Function: Preamp output voltage vs. Sensor input voltage. Floating Ground, Usher, Guard and Distal Braid output voltage vs. Sensor input voltage and DAC setting. System noise spectrum, 1 Hz to 8 kHz. AC Transfer Function: Preamp, Floating Ground, Usher, Guard, and Distal Braid gain and phase vs. Sensor input (1 Hz – 16 kHz, 100-600 kHz (SPB only)). Results agree with predictions based on individual Preamp and BEB calibrations.

BEB and DFB Functional Tests BEB Functional Tests: Current consumption on all services. Voltage Gain, Voltage Offset, and Phase Shift: Floating Ground, Bias, Usher, Guard, Braid. All ACTEL functions: Bias control DACs. ACTEST signal generation. AMUX control. DFB Functional Tests: Current Consumption on all Services in each mode of operation. Voltage gain, Voltage Offset, Crosstalk, CMRR, and Phase Shift Analog and Digital. Digital Filters FFT production Derived Quantities calculation.

EFI Functional Tests DC- and AC-Functional Tests: Stowed internal DC- and AC-Functional Tests work as planned. TM output is as predicted from Instrument-Level DC- and AC-Functional tests during boom unit Acceptance testing. Deploy Tests: SPB: Deploy tests performed with Hi-Fi Simulators (Flight motors with mechanical load), simple resistive loads, and Flight SPB units. Door actuation and pair-wise matched deploy of both pairs successful. AXB: Deploy tests performed with Flight FrangiBolts and simple resistive loads. Actuation by both Primary and Secondary firing circuits successfully tested.

Noise, CMRR and Slew Rate System Noise Tests: System noise levels measured with Sensors in several configurations (Stowed; with Sheath Plasma Simulators; grounded). System noise levels somewhat higher than requirement set in IN.EFI-11 (few times 10-4(mV/m)/Hz-1/2), but should not degrade quality of AC measurements in a significant fashion. DC- and AC-Common Mode Rejection Ratio and Slew Rate Tests: DC CMRR of DC-coupled E-field channels measured using near-full-scale inputs (+/- 85 V). AC CMRR of E-field channels measured at 10, 100, and 1000 kHz using 15 Vpp input signal. System Slew Rate measured at same time as AC CMRR using V channels.

Phasing and Timing Test 12-Channel, 16-bit, 500 ksamp/s/channel DAC system used to provide identical tone burst signals to all 6 EFI, all 3 SCM, and all 3 FGM sensor inputs. EFI signals coupled through parallel RC networks that mimic the nominal Sensor plasma sheath properties. SCM signals coupled through 3-axis coil system in shielded mu-Metal box (mu-Metal box used for SCM calibration, integration, and test). FGM signals coupled through 3-axis coil system in shielded mu-Metal box (TCU system used for FGM calibration, integration, and test). TM data gathered at nominal FastSurvey, ParticleBurst and WaveBurst data rates. Complete end-to-end test of Fields data system on THEMIS. Reduction of data in in-process, but nominal gain vs. frequency of EFI sensors has been noted, as well as capture of overlap region between FGM and SCM coverage in frequency (approx. 10 Hz).
