2 nd International Workshop on Verification and Testing of Space Systems Speaker: S.

2 nd International Workshop on Verification and Testing of Space Systems Speaker: S. Roose (CSL)Torino 20/21/22 March Test results Secondary reflector QM: Full aperture test Reflector not measurable in CRYO with this set-up: fringe density (slopes) too high! How Much? Interferogram: 293 KInterferogram: 50 K WFE: 50 K

2 nd International Workshop on Verification and Testing of Space Systems Speaker: S. Roose (CSL)Torino 20/21/22 March Test results: Secondary reflector QM and FM reduced field test  increased resolution  derive new estimate for the slopes = 2 mrad WFE difference between 293 K -50 K Secondary reflector FM on central aperture

2 nd International Workshop on Verification and Testing of Space Systems Speaker: S. Roose (CSL)Torino 20/21/22 March Test results Secondary Reflector FM: New optical design Increased slope collection: larger optics (4 inch diameter) Increased resolution: stitching to form composite image of the SFE 3.3. Test results Secondary reflector FM: New optical design

2 nd International Workshop on Verification and Testing of Space Systems Speaker: S. Roose (CSL)Torino 20/21/22 March Test results: Secondary reflector FM Stitched aperture validation-compare interferometry with 3D data

2 nd International Workshop on Verification and Testing of Space Systems Speaker: S. Roose (CSL)Torino 20/21/22 March WFE difference between 293 K -50 K Measurement repeatability RMS WFE 1.7 micron (SFE 0.9 micron) 3.5. Test results: Secondary reflector FM at 50 K

2 nd International Workshop on Verification and Testing of Space Systems Speaker: S. Roose (CSL)Torino 20/21/22 March Contribution of the spherical aluminium mirror RMS WFE = 0.5 μm Primary reflector Central aperture: WFE difference between 293 K K 3.8. Test results: Primary reflector FM

2 nd International Workshop on Verification and Testing of Space Systems Speaker: S. Roose (CSL)Torino 20/21/22 March Primary reflector Stitched full aperture: 170 K K Reliable measurement down to 170 K (halve of the temperature excursion) Slopes ( estimated 2 mrad) are to high for the optics (based 1 mrad)

2 nd International Workshop on Verification and Testing of Space Systems Speaker: S. Roose (CSL)Torino 20/21/22 March Lessons Learned Are the Planck reflector tests a generic case for the future optical testing cases? More and more for microwave to sub-mm reflectors: require testing! -Slopes (non optical surfaces) micron metrology resolution -high spatial sampling rate < 5 mm -non-contact measurement at very high (> 330 K) or very low T<90 K) Commercial of the shelf measurement methods do not meet all requirements! (no market for it) -3D machine (drawbacks:non vacuum, stable T, low sampling rate) -videogrammetry (drawbacks: sampling rate, intrusive targets) -infrared interferometry (drawbacks: no global shape, slopes) -holography (drawbacks: still under development) -lasertracker(drawbacks: non vacuum, contact)

2 nd International Workshop on Verification and Testing of Space Systems Speaker: S. Roose (CSL)Torino 20/21/22 March Reflector development needs to consider testing problem very early in the project! Why? -thermal-elastic models do not tell the absolute truth: over-sizing the metrology tool might be necessary (increase test complexity). (PLANCK reflectors: wrong starting hypotheses in the assessment of commercial IR interferometry feasibility) -allow to iterate with small scale test and metrology which addresses the hard-points. (PLANCK reflectors reduced field test) -accept the non-universality of a method: divide and conquer, develop several simple test (PLANCK reflectors: SFE with interferometry (CSL) and global shape with videogrammetry (AAS-Cannes)) -early adaptation of method to the thermal vacuum test to allow technology developments. (Planck reflectors: Videogrammetry targets at low temperature (ESTEC), High resolution IR interferometer, Holography (CSL))
