4. STEREO IMPACT SEP Critical Design Review 2002-Nov-21/22 TvR4 SIT Telescope Door Single re-settable thermal actuator purchased from TiNi Aerospace. One-time opening door is needed for acoustic seal on launch and as a sun blocker during S/C early mission maneuvers. Door protects a thin Nickel window at the front of the telescope. Single-hinged door with a pre-tensioned spring and hard stop point.

5. STEREO IMPACT SEP Critical Design Review 2002-Nov-21/22 TvR5 SIT Mechanical Component Status The SIT Telescope design is a minor variation on the STEP telescope built earlier for WIND/EPACT. Only the SIT door actuator and mechanical enclosures for the electronics are new. Designs for new mechanical pieces for SIT are 75% complete. Designs for retro-fit of telescope are 50% complete. Drawings for SIT overall are 90% complete, new components 40%.

7. STEREO IMPACT SEP Critical Design Review 2002-Nov-21/22 TvR7 Main SEP Electronics Assembly Electronics box is made up of 4 major components, the SEP Central Enclosure, the LVPS, the HET Enclosure and the LET Bracket Base. All interfacing walls, when attached will provide a continuous RF shield for internal electronics. Internal shielding between critical components will create separate shielded areas as necessary. Internal boards will be connected using Nanonics cables. Connections to the S/C will be via standard D Subminiature connectors Connections to external components (SIT and both SEPT’s) will be cabled using Micro-D (MDM) connectors.

8. STEREO IMPACT SEP Critical Design Review 2002-Nov-21/22 TvR8 Main SEP Assembly Status Designs for Main SEP Electronics Box components are 75% complete. HV Bias Shields design is 80% complete. Internal bracket designs and cable harnessing runs are 50% complete. Drawings are 25% complete. Analysis is being performed on the box structure to assure stiffness for the LET bracket as well as internal components.

STEREO IMPACT SEP Critical Design Review 2002-Nov-21/22 TvR15 HET Electronics Enclosure Electronics enclosure is aluminum and makes up half of the top and two thirds of the side of the Main SEP Electronics Box. Provides a base for the Flex/ Rigid PCB assembly to be held in its flight configuration to limit working the flex area. Allows telescope to remain attached to electronics from early on through testing and final integration to the Main SEP Box without having to be separated.

18. STEREO IMPACT SEP Critical Design Review 2002-Nov-21/22 TvR18 SEP Suite Purge 15 PSI dry nitrogen purge accepted from S/C through a ¼” teflon line into distribution manifold on main SEP box. Purge is then sent out via three 1/8” teflon lines to the HET, LET and SIT telescopes. Purge flow will be restricted by a sintered stainless steel plug at the inlet to each telescope in order to limit the flow per individual telescope needs.
