July 2014Phase B1 Kick-Off March 2015PLATO Design Consolidation Review (PDCR) October 2015PLATO B1 data package delivery for SRR November - December 2015PLATO System Requirements Review (SRR) March 2016Mission Adoption & IPC approval April 2016Kick-off Phase B2/C/D January 2024PLATO Launch

14. Preparation B1 Kick-Off Data Package Main Phase B1 Preparation Activities  Establish an updated Specification Tree to define the interrelation between the single PLATO P/L component specifications  Basis for the traceability of single requirements and interface management  Definition of all required documents for the B1 Kick-Off  Comparison with existing documentation to identify necessary inputs  Completion / annotation of existing specifications  Utilization as applicable documents for the B1 work upon PDCR

15. 1 st P/L Meeting has been on 06./07.05.2014 – –Bring P/L consortium together – –Start to resume P/L teams Phase B1 KO is scheduled for 16./17.07.2014 – –Official Start of Phase B1 – –All work packages are already defined – –Tasks to be done between KO and 2 nd P/L Consortium Meeting will be defined 2 nd P/L Meeting proposed Fall 2014 – –All specifications and belonging annotations/supplements are available as basis for the B1 development work Phase B1

17. Overview of major Phase B1 Deliverables MeetingDateDeliverables KO16.07.14* Drafts of TOU Requirements Specification, Camera Development & Verification Plan, List of Deliverables, 2nd P/L Meeting15.09.14* First issue of above documents PM118.11.14Progress report + specified deliverables PM220.01.15Progress report + specified deliverables PDCR delivery02.03.15Progress report + specified deliverables PM312.05.15Progress report + specified deliverables PM421.07.15Progress report + specified deliverables PM522.09.15Progress report + specified deliverables SRR delivery02.11.15Camera Reports, models, Camera URDs and I/F documents  * drafts to be prepared by KT  Specified deliverables defined in the List of Deliverables, which may include Camera Reports (design, budgets, performance, straylight, thermal, structural, risk assessment), MAIV plan, Management Plan, mathematical models

18. Communication between TOU team and KT  List of all deliverables to be defined and finalised by 2 nd P/L Meeting  PMs to be held at TOU site or by Webex. Required documents and Progress Reports including status of AIs to be delivered at least five working days before the meeting  Regular bi-weekly telecons between TOU lead team and KT:  brief discussion of working progress, identified problems, needed inputs etc  the traceability of single requirements and interface management  Meeting when necessary with other Camera/Payload/PLATO teams by Webex (organised by KT). For critical topics, like I/F discussions, face to face meeting are preferable

19. Goals Phase B1: To achieve a sufficient level of technical maturity to ensure a ‎successful SRR. system requirements for the selected ‎architectures successfully validated system requirements derived confidence on the ‎readiness levels of various technologies.‎ Payload Camera Subsystem Status Summary: Goals Phase B1 consolidating the requirements on system and subsystem level ‎and their traceability consolidating internal interfaces, assessing requirements for ‎external interfaces consolidating performance models consolidating and defining operational modes of the payload and its ‎various subsystems and components. validating the set ‎of system and subsystem requirements ‎ Establish a verification strategy consistent with programmatic limitations and ‎required scientific value.‎ Develop technology maturation programs in order to achieve the required TRL levels at ‎SRR
