TIPS - October Status of ACS oACS Side 1 Failed on June 19, 2006 The ARB identified a most probable candidate for the failure, an Interpoint DC-DC Converter on LVPS 3 board in MEB1 Precluded all WFC and HRC CCD imaging. Operations started on side-2 electronics on Jul oACS Side 2 failed on January 27, 2007 Short likely in the Hold Bus Side-2 is completely inoperable Side-2 is inaccessible to astronauts for repair Side 2 is not part of repair mission oACS was configured for Side-1 SBC operations only on February 15, 2007

TIPS - October ACS-R Immediately after the failure of Jan 2007 the HST project assembled a team for the repair of ACS. At the end of February a specific option was select for further study. On October 3 & 4 the ACS-R project passed the critical design review.

TIPS - October ACS-R concept Restore WFC functionality under side-1 (LVPS failed on 6/2006) by replacing the WFC CEB cards with a new module (CEB-R) powered by a new LVPS (LVPS-R) Restore HRC functionality by backpowering the existing HRC CEB (the success depends on the status of the existing wire harness within ACS) Requirement: do not harm SBC

TIPS - October HRC Backpowering The ACS-R design provides the option of backpowering the existing HRC CEB through the existing harness within the instrument. One of the main issue is the supply of the +35V. If it can be provided by the original LVPS than it will be sincronized (-> lower noise), but it must be provided by the LVPS-R HRC could be noisier. Preliminary tests with flight spare HRC CEB and CCD show no difference

TIPS - October ACS-R Testing Besides the single component testing the full ACS-R system will be tested with: Flight spare HRC CEB (backpowering testing) Flight spare build for HRC and WFC –Cannot be cooled as on-orbit –Used for testing with hi-I preamp and detector –Functional testing when lowest noise is not needed WFC SITE spare CCDs (+custom cryostat) –Can be cooled to -80 C, crosstalk testing CCD emulator – allows readout of a complete 4Kx4K image –adjustable noise level: Match on-orbit detector level to determine expected performance Set noise level very low to verify noise contribution of CEB-R Set noise level high to optimize timing pattern and CDS for best results.

TIPS - October Schedule Highlights Testing with the first engineering module of CEB-R and ACS flight spare CCDs will start on Oct 25th. Flight LVPS ready Mid Jan Flight CEB-R ready early March Servicing Mission Ground Testing (SMGT) End of February (possibly a second campaign with complete flight-hardware) TV testing - April Shipment to KSC - Jun 9 Launch - August 8

TIPS - October The role of STScI Support ground calibration to identify areas where science operations may need modification (commanding, proposal preparation, data processing) Support IPT in the definition of the ACS-R AT/FT Support the scientific evaluation of the FT SMOV planning and on-orbit re-commissioning

TIPS - October ACS-R in SMOV ACS-06 CCD Functional Test\ ACS-08 WFC CCD Cross Talk SMOV WFC and HRC observations will be kept in separate proposals/visits to facilitate operations in case of unforeseen problems with the HRC backpowering. Cycle 17 calibration programs will overlap with SMOV and will provide further characterization of the instrument. We will include, as part of cycle 17 calibration plan, a “CCD optimization” program to investigate the benefits of operating the CCDs with a reduced clocking rate and clamp and sample scheme. The full impact on science operation (read noise, CTE, dynamic range, readout time) will be evaluated before making new options available for GO science. This program will be executed promptly if the noise characteristics of the default configuration are not satisfactory.

TIPS - October Conclusion ACS-R successfully passed CDR More integrated testing will start soon STScI will be more involved in the future starting with the ground testing -----Original Message----- From: Weiss, Mike Sent: Thursday, October 04, :33 PM To: Smith, Hsiao Subject: Way to Go! The ACS Repair just pulled off a miracle! You should all feel extremely proud of what you just accomplished, and I'm sure that you do. Please pass on to Ed, Pete and the entire team gratitude from not only the HST Program Office but from anyone in our Agency who may feel that NASA no longer has the "Right Stuff." ACS Repair has just proved them wrong. Superb effort on the part of all! Mike
