Definition Phase Plan  Validate technical critical points ▪ Confirm no need for new development ▪ Demonstrate TRL > 5 at the end of the definition phase ▪ Confirm no critical aspects in the procurement and AIV schedule of the implementation phase  Allow fast transition to implementation phase Milano, 14 Dec 2010PLATO TOUs12

TOUs Specific Activities  Study of spherical and aspherical lenses manufacturability  Validation of TOU AIV procedures at industrial level  CaF2 lens: handling, protection  Coatings (thermal, filter, AR): performance and low temperature  Alignment at ambient temperature  Assessment of performances in operational temperature environment  Link between performances in operational and ambient environment  Thermal refocusing efficiency Milano, 14 Dec 2010PLATO TOUs13

PLATO Payload Schedule (DP) Milano, 14 Dec 2010PLATO TOUs14

Where we are  Contract to manufacture 6 spherical lenses: assigned  Procurement of GSE for breadboard AIT: ongoing  Contract for study of industrial production of (34x5) spherical and (34) aspherical lenses: ready to start  Contract for study of industrial AIV procedures: ready to start  Contract for support to perform alignment test (on – axis): ready start Milano, 14 Dec 2010PLATO TOUs15

Updated reference documents 16 TWIKI

Terminology / jargon  PIRR (Preliminary Instrument Requirement Review)  May 2010  Breadboard (ready for tests to be done in time for the PIRR)  6 spherical lenses + dummy structure having the same thermal behavior as the final structure, using the same holders for the lenses as the final structure and having its end (at the I/F with the FP) equivalent in terms of opto-mechanical interfaces to the final structure  Prototype (after the PIRR)  1 aspherical + 5 spherical lenses + modified dummy structure Milano, 14 Dec 2010PLATO TOUs17

Agenda - 14 Dec 2010  OD: open issues (e.g., stop/L3) (D. Magrin, R. Ragazzoni)  TOU breadboard (Introduction by J. Farinato  Discussion)  The way lens will be integrated in barrels for the breadboard  The detailed schedule for the breadboard  CaF2 Verification tests  Tolerance of the OD to thermal variation (to agree a work plan)  TOU prototype (after PIRR) Milano, 14 Dec 2010PLATO TOUs18
