3. Objectives of the I&T Program
Verify observatory system-level performance requirements
Ensure that all components are operated beyond their “infant mortality” regime prior to launch
Demonstrate correct operations of all subsystem/instruments when interconnected as an observatory
Identify unexpected interactions among system/subsystem elements
Identify failure modes reflecting design weakness and defects in materials, workmanship, and quality control
Plan and execute effective and efficient launch operations
Gain “test-it-as-you-will-fly-it” mission operations experience and confidence by performing mission simulations with the observatory
Conform to Performance Assurance and System Performance Verification Requirements
Characterize the operating signature of the system through a combination of calibration and performance tests
Verify that the elements of the system can survive the predicted launch and on-orbit environments
Verify that all elements of the system are compatible with each other and are capable of performing the required mission function

13. SRR/SCR I&T RFA Status I&T Received Two RFA’s from SRR/SCR
RFA #23 – Closed 1/13/2004
RFA #45 – In Closure
RFA #45 – Project should develop a clear plan that assures acceptable verification of each instrument
optical and signal chain at the observatory level after observatory environmental testing.
Plan Overview:
AIA/HMI Instruments at Ambient: Use “Stim Tels” – change in end-to-end performance
EVE Instrument at Ambient: Use OGSE – looks for light leaks
Use internal source and GSE to cool CCD – CCD aliveness test
AIA/HMI Instruments in Thermal Vacuum: Use “Stim Tels” – change in end-to-end performance
at temperatures
EVE Instrument in Thermal Vacuum: Use OGSE which mounts to Instrument, contains UV
sources – end-to-end verification

14. Status I&T Peer Review Held 2/18/04 9 RFA’s Received and Accepted
RFA’s are not considered critical
RFA’s will be closed prior to CDR Peer Review
Draft I&T Plan submitted to SDOMIS

15. I&T Issues and Concerns
Instrument Targets in SES
No Schedule Concerns – I&T Schedule is Quite Doable

16. Back-Up Charts

17. Instrument Testing Operations (1/6)
Aperture Cover Openings:
EVE - During BAT, Observatory CPTs and Thermal Vac
- Nominally open aperture cover during the baseline CPT, post-environmental
test CPT and post-ship CPT at the launch site
HMI - During BAT, Observatory CPTs and Thermal Vac
AIA - During BAT, Observatory CPTs, Thermal Vac and AIA
filter change-outs
- Three Observatory-level AIA filter change-outs are anticipated (assumes AIA
delivered with clear filters in place). Class 1,000 cleanroom required.
- Prior to Observatory vibe and acoustic testing - from clear to flight-like
- Prior to T-Vac (following Observatory vibe and acoustic tests) - from flight-like to clear
- Pre-launch (at the launch processing facility, not at the launch pad) - from clear to flight

18. Instrument Testing Operations (2/6)
External Optical Stimulus:
EVE OGSE consists of four lamps integrated into Common Housing
- Mounted to hard-points on the EVE Optics Package (no external MAGE required)
- Allows the EVE OP aperture covers to be open fully on command and closed manually
without removing the OGSE
- Used in ambient (with visible light sources) and in thermal vacuum (with UV light
sources)
- Not present for thermal balance (TBD)
- Powered and controlled by EVE-provided EGSE
- No requirements on Observatory orientation
HMI Stimulus Telescope, visible light (“Stim Tel”)
AIA Stimulus Telescope (possibly 2), also visible light, but not
Identical to HMI Stim tel

19. Instrument Testing Operations (3/6)
Instrument and IGSE Configuration for Ambient Observatory CPTs:
EVE CCD radiator cold plate
- Enables crude CCD flat-field test in ambient conditions by cooling the CCDs to
approximately 15 degrees C to reduce the CCD dark current enough to enable ambient
testing of the CCDs using the internal EVE flat field lamp.
- Closed-loop refrigerant, or thermo-electric cooled plate located adjacent to EVE CCD
radiator (not in contact with flight radiator).
- Requires access to EVE CCD radiator on EVE OP.
EVE OGSE mounted to EVE OP
- Provides light leak test of EVE OP (entrance filter pin-holes, etc.).
- Visible lamps used for the four EVE apertures.
- OGSE must be connected to LASP-provided power supply.

20. Instrument Testing Operations (4/6)
Instrument and IGSE Configuration for Ambient Observatory CPTs:
HMI and AIA Stim-Tels
- Stimulates CCDs with simulated solar disk image (visible light).
- Can introduce jitter to test HMI and AIA Image Stabilization Systems.
- Can be used to determine HMI and AIA optical axis alignment
- Can be used to verify instrument focus.
- Placed on elevated platforms approximately 3 feet from HMI and AIA along optical axes
- Observatory must be in horizontal orientation.
- AIA (non-flight) clear entrance filter must be installed

21. Instrument Testing Operations (5/6)
Instrument & OGSE Configuration for Observatory-level Thermal Vac:
EVE OGSE
- UV lamps replace visible lamps used in ambient testing.
- OGSE mounts to EVE OP. No MAGE required. Not present during thermal balance as
the OP is in a non-flight configuration when the OGSE is installed.
HMI and AIA OGSE
- Strong desire for visible light stimulus from Stim Tels (via an optical window in the
chamber).
- Observatory thermal vacuum is the last opportunity to test the CCDs at their
operating temperature before launch.
- MAGE arrangement in the chamber is TBD (optical relay mirrors).

22. Instrument Testing Operations (6/6)
Instrument & OGSE Configuration for Observatory-level Thermal Vac:
Solar flux simulator (via heater panel located at +X) is planned by
SDO Thermal
- Can turn heater panel off/on to simulate eclipse entry/exit
No dedicated CCD or CEB radiator cold shrouds are necessary as
long as a clear view is maintained to the T-Vac chamber shrouds
- Concern the CCD radiator cold sink provided by the chamber will not meet the less
than –150 deg. C requirement.
