RBSP/EFW CDR /30-10/1Christopher Smith Engineering Test Matrix 7 total cycles per instrument, 5 at component level, 2 at suite level. Pre-Amps cycled separately due to larger temperature swing. No need for thermal balance as all instruments are conductively coupled to the spacecraft.

RBSP/EFW CDR /30-10/1Christopher Smith APL Thermal Modeling Interface Berkeley maintains a Thermal Desktop model of the EFW instrument and a boundary node definition of the spacecraft. APL Maintains a TSS geometry and SINDA network model of the spacecraft. APL integrates Berkeley geometry via Thermal Desktop TSS export. –Provides environmental heat flux data to instruments. APL integrates Berkeley SINDA network model into the SINDA spacecraft network model. –APL specifies spacecraft connection nodes. APL runs integrated model and provides temperature predicts back to Berkeley. Design cycles as necessary. APL is responsible for producing high fidelity temperature predicts.
