Chandra X-Ray Observatory CXC Paul Plucinsky CUC September Overall Status of the Instrument 2.Update on Controlling the FP Temperature ACIS Ops Team ACIS Report

Chandra X-Ray Observatory CXC Paul Plucinsky CUC September Overall Status of the Instrument Instrument continues to work well, no failures to report, no new degradations to report No anomalies since the last meeting of the CUC (Yeah !!) CTI increasing consistent with expectations, FI CCDs 2.3%/yr, BI CCDs 1.0%/yr Contaminant continues to accumulate slowly, recent work by Herman Marshall on the C, O, F edges vs. time included in the calibration report Use of Optional CCDs for observations at forward-Sun pitch angles - only three 6-CCD observations have been reduced to 5-CCD observations, so proactive scheduling is minimizing the science impact Thermal issues are still the most challenging, observations with pitch angles between lead to heating of the ACIS detector housing and hence the focal plane

Chandra X-Ray Observatory CXC Paul Plucinsky CUC September Controlling the ACIS FP Temperature Bissell (NGST), blue points 8 hr averages, red line 30 day running average

Chandra X-Ray Observatory CXC Paul Plucinsky CUC September Average FP Temperature vs. Pitch Angle DePasquale (SAO), Black points are average FP temperature, Dashed red line is amount of time at that pitch angle

Chandra X-Ray Observatory CXC Paul Plucinsky CUC September ACIS FP Temp vs Pitch Angle, DH Heater Power, Earth Solid Angle DePasquale (SAO)

Chandra X-Ray Observatory CXC Paul Plucinsky CUC September Possible Responses to a Warmer FP Temperature 1) Turn off the ACIS DH heater and the SIM FA6 heater PRO: maintains calibration and best performance of the CCDs CON: DH temperature is unregulated 2) Impose new MP constraints on duration of time spent at pitch angles >120 PRO: stable DH temperature for Fid Lights CON: adds yet another constraint to an already tightly constrained schedule 3) Operate at a higher FP temperature PRO: easy for operations and MP CON: degrades CCD performance, requires a lengthy recalibration Option #1 is the preferred option NOTE ** ACIS FP temperature set point will remain at C **

Chandra X-Ray Observatory CXC Paul Plucinsky CUC September

Chandra X-Ray Observatory CXC Paul Plucinsky CUC September Thermal Modeling with the ACIS DH and SIM FA6 Off Analysis by Joe Vogrin (NGST) and Neil Tice (LMA): “Chandra ISIM Thermal Study to Lower ACIS Focal Plane Temperature” - the ACIS and SIM temperatures were modeled for a range of pitch angles between 45 and 172 in 10 degree steps - study indicates that the ACIS DH temperature side A/B will range from -71/-69 C at pitch=45 to -67/-66 C at pitch=145 (current temperatures are -62.4/-59.9 C) - steady-state solution, these are equilibrium temperatures, whether they will be reached on-orbit depends on the time constants (which can be long) and the duration of time the heaters are off - study indicates that the FP temperature will be up to 3.0 degrees colder at a pitch angle of 145. This is a large enough difference to significantly improve the performance of the CCDs. - study indicates that ~2.5 degrees of the improvement comes from a lower DH temperature

Chandra X-Ray Observatory CXC Paul Plucinsky CUC September Two Proposed Tests Approved by the Flight Directors Board 1)Turn off the ACIS DH heater during a perigee passage and HRC calibration observations just after perigee, turn on 2 hr before first outbound ACIS science observation starts, execute in the stored command load (~70 ks to cool), (17 September 2007) 2)Turn off the ACIS DH heater during an 48 ks observation (cool for 40 ks) of the CDF-South, (23 September 2007) -- as the ACIS DH contracts/expands as it cools/warms the Fid Lights will move by an amount which may be large enough to affect the aspect -- Tom Aldcroft believes that he can account for this apparent shift of the Fid Lights, Tom will analyze the results and attempt to reconstruct the aspect Tests scheduled for tail-Sun orientations in which the DH temperature should not drop below -67/-66 (-71/-69) C if the SIM is at the ACIS (HRC) observing position

Chandra X-Ray Observatory CXC Paul Plucinsky CUC September Test #1: Cooling During Perigee Passage DePasquale (SAO) SIM at the HRC position for perigee passages Test begins Test ends

Chandra X-Ray Observatory CXC Paul Plucinsky CUC September Implementation: Future Plans -- If the test during the CDF-S test is successful, success criteria: -- If the verification test and the test during a perigee passage are successful, we would like to turn off the DH heater for all perigee passages, success criteria: 1)Schedule additional tests during remaining CDF-South observations 2)Proceed with implementation of DS SW to reconstruct aspect with a variable DH temperature 3)Schedule tests at different pitch angles and work gradually to more forward-Sun attitudes to characterize cooling rates in different attitudes 4)Return to the FDB to ask to turn off the DH heater for good once the SW is available -- Continue to investigate the option of turning off the SIM FA6 heater to gain more control on the ACIS FP temperature Verification test - receive expected TLM verifiers that heater turns off and on Perigee test - DH cools below -60 C but not down to -72 C & warms to -60 C in 2 hr Absolute astrometry arcsec error Image reconstruction - demonstrate that Enclosed Counts Fractions are statisically identical to previous observations
