2. PACS : SW Testing & Instrument Monitoring (Rodighiero) ‏  GR continued Testing of Instrument Simulator and DP pipeline through -Generation of simulated timelines corresponding to PACS GT Observations -Execution & Testing of PACS SPG pipeline on simulated timelines -Application of High-Pass Filtering and PhotProject to produce sky maps -Participation to GT technical meetings to test various pipeline steps  This has greatly contributed to an extensive validation of PACS Instrument Simulator and DP S/W, from SPG to Map Making ASI ReviewPadova ICC Contribution2 170 micron Simulated Image

3. PACS : SW Testing & Instrument Monitoring (Rodighiero) ‏  With the beginning of PV phase GR has started visiting MPE on a monthly basis for weekly shifts of Instrument Monitoring on behalf of the PACS ICC, performing duties as Pipeline Manager and Instrument Health Manager.
