VISTA as seen by the Prime Contractor Adrian Russell

17/18 January 2013VISTA: a celebration 2 Why did we bid? The ATC will only undertake projects where we add real value and that help keep the UK at the forefront of world astronomy VISTA meets these requirements Bid a 2-phase project The spirit of Phase A was to develop a design concept that can meet the requirements –understand what can be achieved within the budget –all parties sign up to the above

17/18 January 2013VISTA: a celebration 3 What the ITT Required Provision of Management Organisation To Provide VISTA –4m Class Telescope Optimised for imaging over wide fields 2 Degree Visible 1 Degree IR –Largest dedicated Visible Survey Telescope –Only dedicated IR Survey Telescope only competition UKIRT WFCAM... What was the Catch? –Fixed budget –Fixed Time Frame (4.5 years) –Specification will be determined by these constraints Could we sign up to this at the time of the tender?

How we Envisaged VISTA The UK ATC Management Organisation Concept –Small Scale IGPO Core Team Tap into UK ATC Matrix Management Structure Minimise overheads –Management though high level work packages –Maintain Systems Engineering responsibility throughout VISTA Part of the ATC The UK ATC VISTA Concept –The dedicated purpose of VISTA is to produce high quality, high volume survey data –Survey Speed is the prime metric of VISTA performance –Image quality determined in SRD The telescope is the fore optics to the instrument channels Optics optimised for uniform image quality No envisaged development program 17/18 January 2013VISTA: a celebration 4

17/18 January 2013VISTA: a celebration 5 What does the UK ATC have to Offer? The Desire –Why Tender? –We are the best UK organisation to achieve the goals of the VISTA project The Vision –The telescope and instruments are integrated designs Telescope design tuned to Wide Field performance The Personnel –Telescope manufacturing experience through Gemini, UKIRT and WHT –IR instrumentation experience –systems engineering experience –matrix management structure

17/18 January 2013VISTA: a celebration 6 The Tender Response Phase A proposal –Can VISTA actually be achieved for the Money? –Develop designs to level to demonstrate compliance with Science Requirements –Determine the best strategy for maximising functionality within budget and timescales –Agree Strategy and Deliverables before starting Phase B Phase B –Follows successful Phase A –Same personnel –Procurement –Testing –Integration –Commissioning

The Outcome Phase A worked well –A scientifically rewarding VISTA can be achieved for the Money –Designs have been developed to a level to demonstrate compliance with Science Requirements –The best strategy, to date, for maximising functionality within budget and timescales has been found 4m f/1 telescope at Paranal 4x4 IR Camera –Partnership with RAL/Durham for the Camera No Optical Camera £36M 17/18 January 2013VISTA: a celebration 7

UK ATC Structure Matrix Management –Experience in all aspects of Astronomical Engineering –Draw on Resources when needed –Minimise through project overheads Project Management –Emphasis on project management –Delivery to cost and time VISTA Project Structure –Project Managers normally report to Programme Manager –VISTA PM attends PM meetings but reports directly to the Director UK ATC –VISTA has a core team plus additional effort from the matrix 17/18 January 2013VISTA: a celebration 8 Directorate Project ManagementEngineering SpecialismsAdministration MechanicalOpticsElectricalSoftware Science Project A Project B

Working at a top-level VISTA Project Board For a project the size of VISTA, it was standard PPARC practice to have a Project Management Committee oversee the activities of the Project Team The VISTA Project Board (VPB) was chaired by the PPARC Director Programmes and had as its members –The Principle Investigator –the PPARC Budget Holder –the PPARC Finance Officer –the Director UK ATC and –two technical experts (one from ESO and one from the UK Community) –The Project Manager and the Project Scientist report to this Committee The VPB had, through its membership, executive authority to both manage all aspects of the project and to approve the placement of contracts 17/18 January 2013VISTA: a celebration 9
