27. 4853-4 Sept. 2008EFW INST+SOC PDR EFW ConOps Instrument Commissioning EFW Commissioning consists of two phases: –Initial instrument turn on and check out. –Radial and axial boom deploys. –May occur at RBSP MOC (using Test SOC) or at EFW SOC (using Flight SOC). Turn-On and Checkout consists of stowed functional tests (duplicates of SC-level I&T procs and data). InstrumentActivity Duration Telemetry Requirements Constraints & Notes EFWTurn-On and Check Out 2x2 hrsNRT: ~4 kbps. Stored: ~8 kbps. Should occur after or in conjunction with EMFISIS Turn-On and Check Out b/c of shared analog data (EFW, MAG, and SCM). EFWBoom DeploysNNN Weeks (both observa tories in parallel) NRT: ~4 kbps for initial step; 1-2 kbps thereafter. Stored: <5.25 kbps (Survey TM). Boom deploys must occur in sunlight. Sensor Diagnostic Tests will drive spacecraft floating potential.

28. 4863-4 Sept. 2008EFW INST+SOC PDR EFW ConOps Instrument Commissioning: Radial Booms Deploy Initial EFW boom deploy plan already developed: RBSP_EFW_TN_003C_EFW_BoomDeploySequence.doc. Boom deploy power controlled by MOC (SC service). Boom deploy commanding through EFW SOC (test or flight). Spin rate changes during staged, pairwise boom deploy illustrated below. Spin rate vs. boom stroke and time during deploy used to monitor state of deploy and abort, if required. Baseline NNN-day parallel deploy schedule between both observatories incorporated into current Mission Timeline (DOC-REF). Fine wire unfurling

29. 4873-4 Sept. 2008EFW INST+SOC PDR EFW ConOps Instrument Commissioning: Axial Booms Deploy Axial boom deploy occurs after radial boom deploy is complete, and observatory mass properties and dynamics confirmed (typically no significant delay required). Axial booms deployed singly, in stages using motor deploy system to ≈5-m stroke (≈10-m tip-to-tip). Final deploy lengths trimmed in roughly 10-cm increments using Survey axial E-field and SC potential estimates to reduce common- mode signal (expected duration of trim phase is N weeks, and occurs in parallel with other instrument commissioning activities).

30. 4883-4 Sept. 2008EFW INST+SOC PDR EFW ConOps Validity Conditions for Nominal Operations Sensors Illuminated -- All EFW sensors illuminated (goal for aft axial sensor). Attitude Known -- Post-processed Observatory attitude (spin axis pointing and spin phase) known to accuracy better than 3 deg. Ephemerides Known -- Post-processed Observatory position and velocity known to accuracy better than (10 km, 30 m/s, 0.1 deg; 3-sigma). Booms Settled -- EFW radial booms within 0.5 deg of nominal position. DC B-Field Known – Post-Processed DC B-field known to accuracy better than 1%. EFW-MAG-SCM Relative Orientation Known – Post-processed relative orientation of EFW, MAG, and SCM sensor axes known to better than 2 degrees.

31. 4893-4 Sept. 2008EFW INST+SOC PDR EFW ConOps Instrument Health and Status Monitoring Instrument State-of-Health (SOH) monitored through near-real- time or playback engineering data via the SOC-CTG. SOH compared against red/yellow limit database. Off-Nominal conditions leads to: –Notification of EFW SOC personnel (page, e-mail). –Issuance of scripted commands, for certain, well-known off-nominal conditions (example: CRRES DDD-false commanding and resets). Long-term trending and storage of SOH data: –New solution in GSEOS as part of CTG efforts or… –Incorporation into existing UCB MOC BTAPS database (decision: part of Phase III development, 2010 time frame).

32. 4903-4 Sept. 2008EFW INST+SOC PDR EFW ConOps Normal On-Orbit Operations (1) Commanding –Complete instrument state (sensor biasing and data collection) set by ~50 commands. –Instrument configuration changes infrequently (~1/few weeks, after initial commissioning phase). –~daily commanding to support ground selection of burst segments as needed. –~monthly Sensor Diagnostic Tests (bias sweeps) to confirm and optimize instrument biasing. Data Management –12 kbps daily average: ~ 5 kbps continuous Survey data (32 S/s E and V; auto- and cross-spectral data products). ~ 7 kbps Burst1 and Burst2 data (0.5 and 16 kS/s E, V, and SCM data).

33. 4913-4 Sept. 2008EFW INST+SOC PDR EFW ConOps Normal On-Orbit Operations (2) Burst Management –Higher-rate waveform data (E, V, and SCM) collected continuously and banked into SDRAM and FLASH in seconds to minutes long segments (many days of B1 storage; many hours of B2 storage). –Each segment tagged with “Burst Quality” computed on-board from DC or AC fields data cues (DOC-REF; Filter Bank AC E or B, cues from other instruments). –B1 playback is through ground selection based on Survey data and other data sources (geophysical indices, etc.); on-board with Burst Quality allows for autonomous selection and playback, as needed (vacations, illness, ennui, etc.). –B2 survival and playback selection on-board is based on Burst Quality; playback selection includes option for ground selection based on Survey data and other data sources (geophysical indices, etc.). –B1 and B2 support for time-tagged campaign modes available as well (e.g. BARREL support). Inter-Instrument Burst Data –EFW message includes axial sensor status (illuminated/eclipsed), sensor sweep status (static/sweeping), and current burst-valuation algorithm ID and value.

34. 4923-4 Sept. 2008EFW INST+SOC PDR EFW ConOps Command Generation EFW-SOC shall generate commands by reference to UTC, as well as MOC data products (predicted ephemerides, etc.) and other data assets (e.g.. Geomagnetic indices). EFW commands shall be validated as needed by running command load on EFW TestBed (ETU) and verifying appropriate change of state, data production, and instrument configuration. Command validation shall occur prior to transmission of command load from EFW-SOC to RBSP-MOC. Verification of current MET↔UTC SCLK Kernel shall occur prior to translation of EFW commands from UTC to MET. Command receipt will be verified after transmission using standard MOC data products.

CSCI elements will be tested in isolation to establish basic functionality (test cases; error cases and signaling). –Example: phased introduction of DCB functions and testing using GSE. Elements are brought together into full modules and fed instrument data from known sensor excitations to verify module-level functionality and requirements fulfillment. –Example: basic instrument functional tests during I&T. End-to-end testing at each stage of integration to weed out problems early. –Example: testing of complete PDP chain as early as possible during Phase D using data from SC I&T and environmental tests.
