1 TIPS 4/18/2013 Status of JWST/ISIM Test Program Scott Friedman TIPS/JIM April 18, 2013

2 TIPS 4/18/2013 Thanks to the following people for providing much of the information used in this presentation Randy Kimble (GSFC) Doug McGuffey (GSFC) Joe Sullivan (Ball) George Hartig (STScI), for many useful discussions Acknowledgments

3 TIPS 4/18/2013 ISIM = Integrated Science Instrument Module(1) OTE = Optical Telescope Element(2) (analogous to the HST OTA) OSIM = Optical Telescope Element Simulator(3) (the light source for ISIM testing) OTIS = OTE + ISIM(4) Equations

4 TIPS 4/18/2013 ISIM Test Configuration

5 TIPS 4/18/2013 ● Full field cryogenic optical simulator of JWST OTE. ● Schmidt system with no corrector plate ● Only a single powered optic – spherical primary mirror ● Provides point source illumination over – 5.6  m ● Point sources can be steered to any SI field point ● Pupil must translate to hold exit pupil fixed ● Some extended source capability using a diffuser ● Beam Image Analyzer (BIA) measures quality of OSIM sources ● Uses Phase Retrieval (PhaRet) camera (using a NIRCam H2RG detector) and Point Diffraction Interferometer for redundancy ● Provides the only images in entire JWST ground test program that will look like those in orbit OTE Simulator (OSIM)

6 TIPS 4/18/2013 ● First OSIM cryo-vac test completed summer Partially successful ● Optical results were stable and good. Jitter and stray light appear within requirements. Thermal performance nominal. ● BIA V1 stage froze at cryo temperatures. ● Facilities issues troublesome (power outages, N 2 leaks). ● Second OSIM cryo-vac test dates ● pumpdown March 15 ● data taking started April 14 ● completion May 26 OSIM Cryo-Vac Tests It is critically important to validate OSIM so its performance is not in question when ISIM testing begins.

8 TIPS 4/18/2013 OSIM Test Configuration

9 TIPS 4/18/2013 OSIM CV1 Installation

10 TIPS 4/18/2013 OSIM Test Configuration – Real Life OSIM in the 100K section (bottom) Beam Image Analyzer in the 30K section (top)

11 TIPS 4/18/2013 ● All science instruments delivered to GSFC fully calibrated and qualified. ● SIs integrated into the ISIM structure mechanically, electrically, and thermally (flight-like to the extent possible). ● Cryo-Vac 1 ● Verify focus, pupil alignment, image quality, etc. ● Verify thermal performance. ● Verify wavefront measuring capabilities of SIs (especially NIRCam). ● Test Operations Script Subsystem (OSS) and event driven ops. Original ISIM Test Plan

12 TIPS 4/18/2013 ● Environmental test series ● Vibration, acoustic, gravity release, EMI/EMC. ● Cryo-Vac 2 ● Similar to CV1 but not everything repeated. ● Deliver to JSC for OTE+ISIM testing Original ISIM Test Plan (continued)

13 TIPS 4/18/2013 Instruments not available for CV1 NIRCam – will be delivered to GSFC in May NIRSpec – will be delivered to GSFC in September Many hardware items not available for CV1, most importantly new near-IR detectors. We could wait for these to arrive but that would defer a lot of risk. So… A new cryo-vac cycle has been added to the beginning, a cryo-vac Risk Reduction campaign: CV1 RR But Plans Change…

14 TIPS 4/18/2013 Cryo-Vac 1 RR Science instruments: MIRI and FGS/NIRISS only. CV1 RR goals include: Validation of OSIM as light source for CV campaigns Confirm MIRI and FGS/NIRISS operate in ISIM configuration Confirm thermal models of ISIM environment Hardware well-instrumented to measure this Measure stray light backgrounds especially in MIRI and FGS Assess jitter properties of ISIM. Will pulsed sources or vibration isolators be required? OSS scripts, including “Day in the life” test. Three ISIM Cryo-Vac Campaigns

15 TIPS 4/18/2013 FGS/NIRISS Installation into ISIM Structure

16 TIPS 4/18/2013 FGS/NIRISS Installation into ISIM Structure

17 TIPS 4/18/2013 Cryo-Vac 1 RR Instrument Verification NIRISS performance characterization Some modes have not been tested end-to-end in the instrument MIRI regression testing Apply NRB noise mitigation recommendations to flight system MIRI MRS spatial resolution measurement PSF during FM testing was compromised Tune-up of FGS ASIC This must be done for 13 detector/ASIC pairs in CV3. Initial trending of MIRI and FGS/NIRISS CV1 RR is designed to retire risk and increase the chances that CV2 and CV3 execute smoothly Three ISIM Cryo-Vac Campaigns

18 TIPS 4/18/2013 Cryo-Vac 2 Performance verification campaign All 4 flight instruments present but not all flight hardware… Optical metrology and alignment with fully populated ISIM structure Establish first trending data for NIRCam and NIRSpec Continue trending for MIRI and FGS/NIRISS After Cryo-Vac 2 install all remaining hardware and then perform the environmental test series vibration, acoustic, gravity release, EMI/EMC Three ISIM Cryo-Vac Campaigns

19 TIPS 4/18/2013 Cryo-Vac 3 The campaign to establish that ISIM meets all requirements Contains all flight hardware elements New hardware (hold on to your hats…): All new near IR detectors (15 total) Have to get metrology right the first time. There will be no CV 4! New NIRSpec Micro-Shutter Assembly (MSA) MIRI Heat Exchanger Stage Assembly (HSA) New NIRISS filter wheel and pupil wheel motors New NIRISS GR700XD grating (possibly) New MIRI flight electronics boards (possibly) Three ISIM Cryo-Vac Campaigns

20 TIPS 4/18/2013 CV1 RR Timeline

21 TIPS 4/18/2013 Cryo-Vac 1:8/9/13 – 10/12/1365 days Cryo-Vac 2:5/23/14 – 9/9/14109 days Cryo-Vac 3:6/4/15 – 8/17/1574 days ISIM Cryo-Vac Schedule 35 weeks of 24/7 operation will require a lot of planning and support from all stakeholders.

22 TIPS 4/18/2013 OTIS Testing Let’s review equation (4) OTIS = OTE + ISIM(4) This is a lot of hardware but not the whole observatory! In particular, the spacecraft is not present during OTIS testing. What’s Next?

23 TIPS 4/18/2013 OTIS Testing in Chamber A at JSC

24 TIPS 4/18/ Tests to Prepare for OTIS Testing

25 TIPS 4/18/2013 OGSE-1:Jan – Feb 2015 OGSE-2:May – Jun 2015 PF thermal:Jan – Mar 2016 OTIS test:2016 – 2017 Recall that ISIM CV3 is scheduled for Jun – Aug Possible collision for some people supporting both tests. * these dates highly uncertain (at least to me) OTIS Test Schedule *

26 TIPS 4/18/2013 We have a series of challenging test campaigns ahead that are just beginning They get progressively more complex which provides the opportunity to learn in stages and to recover from problems The schedule is holding, but margin is being used. Not much room for expansion of effort. But ISIM and JWST project hold months in reserve. Very important for the flight hardware to be delivered in a timely fashion so CV3 can go forward as planned. This is our future. Let’s make it happen! Conclusions
