23. Performance MEP works like a charm
High reliability
F1 alone – F2 alone – F1 first and then F2 – F2 first and then F1
Persistent state
No drama
In general true from the start
We have had some issues and problems
Many hundreds of operating hours have been logged
Many hundreds of failure free hours on the various subsystems
MEP operating hours
Starting on 4 January 2017, we have had ~240 operating hours
MEP failure free hours
We have had a few re-starts to the FFH counter
The most recent re-start was March first
LNPS1 overvoltage problem
Now ~ hours

24. Calibration
Co-I hardware institutions have delivered fully calibrated sub-assemblies
Fully calibrated and verified at home institutions – to front end
Simple calibrations at FIELDS I&T to verify and fill in gaps
For example: V1234 PAs, SCM, V5
As FIELDS is integrated at UCB
Several verification cals in ambient and at temperature as reference
Using external stimuli and/or isolation
Using sensor/probe isolation
Using flight hardware receivers – RFS, DFB, TDS and MAGs
Using flight hardware sensors
As FIELDS is integrated with spacecraft at APL
Same process
Using isolation and stimuli in ambient and S/C TV
As FIELDS enters/exits perihelion
Using SCM internal cal circuit
Calibration S/C rolls
Internal antenna bias sweeps

25. Calibration Sub-assemblies were delivered fully calibrated
For example, to receiver front-ends
Preliminary end-to-end calibrations from the sensor inputs have been done
But not:
Using flight harnesses
Using flight V1234 preamplifiers in final configuration with antennas
Using flight SCM FM2
We propose to repeat the end-to-end calibrations at the S/C level
With simple electrical GSE
When flight antennas/PAs arrive
When flight SCM arrives
Can be done late in the APL workday and as time allows
