1. Particles and Fields Package Monthly Status Review (MSR) November 17, 2010 Dave Curtis, PFP PM

2. SSL Contracting Status Phase B/C/D Contract in place. An updated spending plan (phasing) has been completed

3. Schedule Status No improvement in pre-CDR schedule A few layouts lagging SWIA/STATIC mechanical still behind but making slow progress Due to personnel conflicts with RBSP RBSP FM2 completes environments this week! See next chart Result is the EM system testing completes right about the time of the ICDR. EM Test completion current showing June 3, after Instrument CDR. Can reorganize test schedule to prioritize retiring risk early (Before ICDR) Package I&T before SWIA/STATIC Calibrations

4. Manpower • Concern with competition with RBSP-EFW for some key people • Power converter design team • Reorganized team to streamline priority tasks • Significant progress this month – most converter layouts complete • SWIA/STATIC/LPW boom mechanical engineers • SWIA/STATIC EM mechanical parts behind • Now of critical path to EM I&T • Looking at hiring outside help to accelerate parts drawings • FSW lead • keeping ahead of MAVEN schedule • Additional parts engineer to be added to QA team • New hire: Interviewing.

5. Accomplishments Almost all EM EEE parts at SSL 3 part types late – looking at work-arounds First preliminary parts SEL test preliminary results look good PWBs are in layout >50% layouts complete, some boards being loaded (see below) Most EM Mechanical parts are in fab Some part-level design work still in progress on SWIA/STATIC PFP FSW Boot code 93% coded All except Safe Mode/Zone Alert system operational code started Heater sizing analysis complete Will need to submit a CCR to cover operational heater power for SEP, SWEA, SWIA, STATIC More in instrument sections…

6. Ongoing Work Supporting Project planning process Supporting EMC, Payload, SDT working groups Completing EM layouts, board loading Start EM board testing Completing EM mechanical part drawings, getting parts fabricated Preparing for STATIC TOF system acoustic test next month

7. EM Status Summary SSL EM & GSE Layouts (23) 13 layouts complete (11 boards fabricated, 2 boards loaded) 9 layouts in progress (2 to be completed this week) 1 awaiting final schematic release LM Interface Test preparations (3/25/2011): DCB PWB in assembly GSE & FSW ready to start testing Current schedule shows ready by 1/20/2011 for the LM test 1/26/2011 with power converter EM EEE Parts Almost all EM Actives at SSL (3 problem parts) Connectors on order Passives being ordered EM detectors on order (MCP, SSD, foils, magnets) SWIA MCP, STATIC foils, SEP magnets delivered EM Mechanical parts: SWEA, SEP, LPW Boom (not sensor), STATIC TOF in fab Remaining SWIA, STATIC parts into fab soon

8. PFP RFA Status

9. Trades, Issues LPW ‘hingeless whip’ pending ECR/CCR approval Solar array modifications pending ECR/CCR approval MAG Team and EMEWG will continue to watch magentics SWEA Surface Treatment selected – Black Nickel Passed testing CESR looking for European vendor Also looking at how to use US vendor Launch Loads issue closed Atlas 5 selection lowers levels Heritage design qualification no longer exceeded HV801 issue still open Two options: Amptek HV801, Micropac 66353 Have parts for EM

10. Top Risks P10 (Operational Heaters) Retired; need heater power P16 (Launch Loads) Retired (Atlas 5 loads acceptable)

11. Risks List

12. PFP Mass No NTE mass added for SWEA shielding (CCR228 rejected) LPW mass CBE decrease ~330g eliminate caging mechanism (CCR 237 pending) Harness mass CBE decreased due to PFDPU relocation At what point should I reallocate NTE amongst boxes?

13. Mass Tracking Chart

14. PFP Power Added Operational heaters for SWEA, SWIA, STATIC, SEP Will need to submit a CCR to increase NTE by ~15W orbit average to get back to 15% margin [CCR 243 submitted] Survival & Peak power also increase LM looking at impacts

15. PFP Power Trend

16. PFP Data Rate Per 2009-6-9 allocations from Bruce

17. Requirements Verification Status Nothing new to report.

18. MAVEN PFP SWIA Status November 2010 Jasper Halekas, SWIA Lead

19. SWIA Progress • Layout Progress • Anode PWB complete, loading/testing in progress • Preamp/MCP board layout in progress, now top priority • Digital board layout complete, out for PWB fab soon • LVPS PWB complete, waiting for loading/testing • SWP prototype still in testing for stability issues • Mechanical Design Progress • Most mechanical design now done for boards • HV connectors making progress, waiting for ME time • Anode/MCP housing and clamp stack design complete • Mechanical drawings reviewed, going out for fab • Attenuator design next to receive major effort, waiting for ME time • Analyzer detailed design progressing, waiting for ME time • Microchannel plates arrived, waiting for MCP chamber refurbishment and mechanical parts for testing • A121 preamps arrived, test board procured from AMPTEK, testing in next few weeks

20. SWIA Issues • Staffing • ME staffing hopefully easing soon • Dalton and Johnson time should free up by end of November • Layout queue set schedule back • Calibration Facilities • New chamber and ion gun may not arrive in time for initial testing • Ion gun ordered this week – long lead time • Currently refurbishing MCP chamber for MCP testing • Plan to put old calibration chamber and ion gun back together as stopgap until new chamber and ion gun arrive

21. MAVEN PFP SWEA Status November 2010 Dave Mitchell, SWEA Lead

22. SWEA Status - CESR • Mechanical • EM sensor assembled, initial functional tests show good performance • Starting fab of FM electronics housing • Fab of FM sensor pending completion & review of EM functional tests • Front-end Electronics (MCP, HVPS) • Transformers fab & test – expect to be complete by Nov. 19. • Planetary Protection/AIV procedures in place – clean room testing underway EM sensor in vacuum chamber

23. SWEA Status - SSL • Pedestal Mechanical • Fabrication in progress. Expect delivery mid-November. • Solar absorber will not be used. • Absorber would radiate in shadow and drive the temperature too low. Instead, SWEA will use heater power to maintain temperature [pending final thermal analysis]. • LVPC • Layout complete. • Digital • Layout complete, board is routed, currently under review at SSL. • Expect to make gerbers and send fab out for quote week of Nov. 15.

24. Surface Coating for Deflectors, Grids, and External Surfaces Black nickel (electroless) has been selected Good thermal properties (a ~ 0.83, e ~ 0.5) Electrically conducting Non-magnetic: < 10 nT @ 10 cm (< 0.01 nT @ 1 meter) after exposure to ~1000-G field Durable and easy to handle Not significantly altered by exposure to atomic oxygen (> 4 yrs equivalent in Mars environment with MAVEN orbit, including deep dips) Mechanical Design of Aperture Existing SWEA design meets the load requirements. FM fabrication can proceed Two Key SWEA Issues Are Resolved

25. MAVEN PFP STATIC Status October 2010 Jim McFadden, STATIC Lead

26. STATIC Accomplishments EM Anode fabricated Preamp and TDC board signal routing complete (Hatch), External-to-internal custom HV connectors (for deflectors) were designed allowing sweep board layout modifications to proceed. Sweep HV board mods identified (Tiu) that stabilize the sweep. LVPS EM boards were fabricated and are in house. Finished the mounting design between analyzer and anode including updated nitrogen purge connection. New carbon foils received and initial test shows they do not have the breakage problems seen in previous batch Manufacturer admits they missed a step in the first batch Carbon foil carriers with grids inspected and documented. Equipment ordered for streamlining carbon foil attachment MCP gain test equipment (preamps, MCA) ordered Ion gun quote received

27. STATIC Open Issues Preamp and TDC boards schematic verification and fab preparation in process (Dalen). HV Sweep layout needs mods to accommodate external-to-internal HV connectors, and part changes to stabilize the sweep. LVPS needs BOM and needs to be kitted, built and tested (Berg). 15kV HV board needs to be kitted -- waiting on some parts from VMI and a custom HV connectors from the MEs. Digital board in layout. Parts drawings required for acoustics test in process (Johnson). STATIC FPGA still in development Still not getting much ME time on STATIC due to RBSP -- analyzer and mechanical attenuator still in development New vacuum calibration chamber not be ready for MCP testing so an older chamber will be readied and another chamber refurbished.

28. MAVEN PFP SEP Status November, 2010 Davin Larson, SEP Lead

29. SEP Accomplishments DFE boards received from manufacturer DAP board currently in layout (still) Competing with STATIC for engineer time FPGA being designed by Jianxen Chen Expect mid Dec completion Mechanical parts production delayed at external shop Shop is behind schedule – partly do to Nustar First of the parts have arrived Magnet selections made. Awaiting magnet cage to assemble.

30. SEP Open issues Neglected “flex circuit” board design in schedule. Doing a ‘rush’ job on it. Layout completed. Fab Doc completed. Going to quote today. Expect 1 week turn around DAP / FPGA pinout still subject to change. Designer input has been provided. SEP cable pinout changes can be expected pending DAP layout.
