1. 1 PFP MSR, 08/17/2010 Particles and Fields Package Monthly Status Review (MSR) Aug 17, 2010 Dave Curtis, PFP PM

2. 2 PFP MSR, 08/17/2010 SSL Contracting Status Phase B/C/D Contract in place.

3. 3 PFP MSR, 08/17/2010 Schedule Status Slack to CDR has eroded from 4.2 to 3 weeks, mostly due to delays in EM part procurement. Delay in PFP EM I&T results in delays in start of next FSW build, resulting in loss of slack in FSW delivery (11.4 to 7.8 weeks) –Puts FSW on critical path –Odd because FSW is actually ahead of schedule. Added 8w to schedule margin due to need date slipping to the right.

4. 4 PFP MSR, 08/17/2010 Manpower Ramping up complete –Added final ME to SWIA/STATIC team New position open to augment QA team due to Ron Jackson’s retirement

5. 5 PFP MSR, 08/17/2010 Accomplishments Completed all pre-PDR deliverables Completed peer reviews, IPDR, MPDR Most EM EEE parts on order – just a few actives and some passives left –Part qualification testing has been delayed till next FY, which adds some schedule risk in case parts fail screening PWBs are in layout EM Mechanical parts are starting to go to fab PFP FSW Boot code ~1/2 coded Completed LPW sensor geometry trade More in instrument sections…

6. 6 PFP MSR, 08/17/2010 Ongoing Work Supporting Project planning process Supporting EMC, Payload, SDT working groups Working parts issues with PCB Completing layouts and mechanical part level designs Working off RFAs

7. 7 PFP MSR, 08/17/2010 PFP RFA Status

8. 8 PFP MSR, 08/17/2010 Trades Considering changing LPW boom whip caging –Nick Jedrich Mechanical Peer Review recommendation –Now that sensor geometry has been decided, can proceed. –Change from caged to fixed whip Deletes caging mechanism mass & resources Deletes whip hinge Deletes an actuation Simplifies qualification –Concerns being investigated Enhanced vibration on whip, preamp –Have ideas for mitigations which look promising –Plan for building a demonstration model to vibrate this month. Potential damage to exposed whips during I&T –Possibly remove whip for some of ATLO –SSL & LM current see no show-stoppers

9. 9 PFP MSR, 08/17/2010 Issues [1] Magnetics –Current sensor location on solar array probably does not work Too close to solar array strings AC magnetics too high –Working with Project on alternatives

10. 10 PFP MSR, 08/17/2010 Issues [2] SWEA Surface Treatment –Need to modify thermal characteristics of surfaces in SWEA aperture to avoid excessive heating - candidate solutions in work –Candidate solutions need to be evaluated for Atomic Oxygen effects, charging effects, thermal properties, and robustness AO test in progress –Current candidates: DAG213, Ebanol-C, Black Nickel, Black Chrome, Z307 –SWIA and STATIC also interested SEP detector Atomic Oxygen effects –Heritage instruments survives AO, but we would like to test a MAVEN detector if possible. Included in the test

11. 11 PFP MSR, 08/17/2010 Issues [3] Amptek HV801 failures –Seems to be a lot workmanship issue –New lot in work at Amptek, but not certain they will be better –Projects ahead of MAVEN in trouble, will have higher priority for parts SWIA, STATIC use HV801 Alternative VMI part has acceptable performance –Tested in breadboard –Much too large for existing layout –Significant changes would need to be made to accommodate mass, schedule impact Micropak has built equivalent demo parts with same form factor –Parts in test (one at SSL)

12. 12 PFP MSR, 08/17/2010 Issues [4] SWEA Planetary Protection –CESR part of SWEA FM build in progress –Will be assembled before the breakup/burnup analysis complete Current PP plan indicates SWEA is likely to burn up SWEA is small, not a large contributor even if it does not burn up –SWEA has stringent contamination concerns due to MCP, and so is already built in very clean conditions –Need to decide if we need extra steps such as bio assay –This is the same as the rest of MAVEN, but with a sooner trigger date FM fab already started, mechanical assembly starts in November

13. 13 PFP MSR, 08/17/2010 Issues [5] Launch Loads –The current random vibe levels in the ERD are significantly higher than anything we have worked to on previous missions 23GRMS for forward deck mounted instruments 47GRMS for MAG –MAC curve limit loads are as high as 72g –Corresponds to design loads significantly greater than 100G, which is the usual design target at SSL –Greater than qualification level for heritage instruments which were expected to fly with minimal changes SWEA, SEP, LPW booms –A concern for some structures Historically loads come down significantly once we get CLA –CLA is due ~October, well before CDR PFP plan is to follow LM’s lead and not redesign to these unrealistic loads –When CLA comes in there is a risk we will have to do some redesign

14. 14 PFP MSR, 08/17/2010 Issues [6] THEMIS SST Attenuator anomaly –MAVEN SEP attenuator design is identical to THEMIS SST –THEMIS attenuator life tested to ~75,000 cycles –One of 10 flight attenuators failed to completely open after ~3 years on orbit and ~4,000 cycles MAVEN expected life is ~2,000 cycles. –Diagnostics indicate the problem is not the end-of-travel microswitch (an early candidate), but the “Nanomuscle” actuator itself –Looking at ways to improve the actuator reliability –MAVEN has 2 independent SEP telescopes. Failure of one attenuator impacts part of the science from one telescope; can still meet Level 1.

50. 50 PFP MSR, 08/17/2010 Technical Status  Technical Status Command module : message decoding, buffering, distribution, RTS execution, time message recognition. Loader module : Memory loading, bit manipulation Software tests being performed using Code Warrior simulator, breakpoints, etc.  Upcoming  Update Level 5’s (derived from Level 4’s)

51. 51 PFP MSR, 08/17/2010 Action Items PFISPDRRFA2 – Command and Telemetry Database Action: When creating the Command and Telemetry Database for the PFIS follow mnemonic naming standards so that the database can be delivered to the Asist and OASIS teams. Rationale: The developers of the FSW should be the originator of their respective database. Since the PFIS team is using their own flavor of GSE, they should create the database so that it is compatible with the project Command and Telemetry Database. Originator: Tom Jackson/GSFC Activity: Contact with LM regarding naming conventions have been through email. No document is readily apparent. Commands: 16 character limit, Upper Case Only, no special characters except “_” Telemetry: Upper and Lower Case Used Instrument Prefixes: SWE – SWEA instrument SWI – SWIA Instrument STA – STATIC Instrument SEP – SEP Instrument LPW – LPW Instrument EUV – EUV Instrument MAG – Magnetometer instrument PFP – PFP commands/telemetry not directly related to a single instrument.
