Test Opportunities w/ Observatory (1 of 3) Test Opportunity Date ~ Test Hours Comments First Spacecraft Housekeeping Dataflow with MOC March 2007 24 First live telemetry data transmitted to MOC from the spacecraft. Testing will include No-Op commanding to verify command coordination between MOC and I&T T&C systems Performed after C&DH electrical integration is complete Once interface is established, telemetry can be flowed to the MOC on an as needed basis (coordinated with S/C TCs) Telemetry can also be sent to SOCs as needed (to be negotiated between Instrument Teams and FOT) MOC Flight Procedure Testing with Spacecraft June 2007 48 FOT requires time with spacecraft to test contingency procedures that cannot be tested with the FlatSat simulator. (For example cross-strapping procedures) Time may be spread out over several days, executed during off-hours First EVE Housekeeping Dataflow to EVE SOC Aug 2007 First live EVE instrument housekeeping telemetry data transmitted through the MOC to the EVE SOC Performed after EVE instrument integration is complete EVE housekeeping telemetry can be sent to SOC (via MOC) on an as needed basis (to be negotiated between EVE Team and FOT) First HMI Housekeeping Dataflow to JSOC First live HMI instrument housekeeping telemetry data transmitted through the MOC to the JSOC Performed after HMI instrument integration is complete HMI housekeeping telemetry can be sent to JSOC (via MOC) on an as needed basis (to be negotiated between HMI Team and FOT) First AIA Housekeeping Dataflow to JSOC First live AIA instrument housekeeping telemetry data transmitted through the MOC to the JSOC (performed after AIA instrument integration is complete) AIA housekeeping telemetry can be sent to JSOC (via MOC) on an as needed basis (to be negotiated between AIA Team and FOT) 1

Test Opportunities w/ Observatory (2 of 3) Test Opportunity Date ~ Test Hours Comments MOC Flight Procedure Testing with Instruments Jan 2008 48 This time is reserved for the FOT and SOCs to jointly test and validate Instrument contingency procedures which reside in the MOC (for example instrument safing or shutdown) Time may be spread out over several days and executed during off-hours MOC/SOC Ka-band End-to-End (ETE) Dataflow Test Feb 2008 24 This simulation will focus on High-rate science data from the Instruments over a temporary OC3 circuit from GSFC to WSC through the operational DDS and to the SOC SDP facilities Project plans to install GSFC-to-WSC OC3 circuit for approx 90 days to support this testing (currently planned for Jan through March 2008) Day in The Life Mission Simulation Simulate typical SDO day in the life (Full sun ops) This simulation will include High-rate science data from the Instruments over the temporary OC3 circuit from GSFC to WSC Mission Planning Meeting (discuss planned MOC and SOC activities) Will include SOC-MOC command link coordination SOC uplink of routine command loads FOT uplink of ATS and EPV loads, automated SSR retransmissions, etc. Mission Simulations During TV/TB Feb-Apr 2008 84 Simulate typical SDO day in the life (Full-sun and Eclipse ops) These simulations will focus on the planning and coordination between the MOC and SOCs specific to Eclipse Operations. Simulations will likely be executed piecemeal as several separate opportunities scheduled around thermal transition periods OC3 circuit should still be in place allowing flow of High-rate science telemetry to be included in simulations 1

Test Opportunities w/ Observatory (3 of 3) Test Opportunity Date ~ Test Hours Comments Mission Simulation Contingency Operations April 2008 48 Contingency Tests and Simulations: This time is set aside for simulating/testing the MOC’s ability to handle various contingency scenarios that cannot be simulated with the FlatSat Examples include: C&DH, ACE, and GCE Cross-strap configurations, HGA Handovers, Loss of Comm recovery, and Ka-band and S-band RF configurations, Instrument Contingencies (TBD) Mission Simulations L&EO Simulations Apr-May 2008 24 L&EO Simulations: Time is set aside for the MOC and SOCs to test and simulate planned IOC activities which cannot be simulated with the FlatSat Examples include Instrument Turn On and Initialization activities using IGSE located in the MOC SOS. Launch Rehearsals (Three total) Jul-Aug 2008 24 hours Rehearse the timeframe from Launch minus 8-hours to Launch All mission support personnel participate in these rehearsals to assure that all channels of communication have been well thought out and exercised 1
