1. Particles and Fields Package Quarterly Status Review (QSR) April 19, 2011 Dave Curtis, PFP PM

2. SSL Contracting Status Funded through the end of April More info in the Business Splinter presentation

3. Schedule Status EMs have made a lot of progress this month All EM PWBs in test but ~2 (HVPS boards, in fab) SEP, LPW, SWEA, MAG EM mechanical assembly complete STATIC EM TDC complete random vibe SWIA/STATIC analyzers parts out to fab EM Package I&T in progress LPW, SEP, SWEA test with PFDPU complete EM ‘Early Payload Test’ with LM complete MAG next week Pushing to complete before CDR EM Instrument calibrations don’t complete till after Package I&T STATIC is on critical path 13.6 weeks margin to delivery Driven be delays in EM I&T Status at instrument CDR SWIA, STATIC EM will not be complete SWIA, STATIC attenuator life test not done SWIA, STATIC power converters may still be in test Rest of instrument EM will be complete, with perhaps some system level test still in progress

4. Manpower • RBSP-EFW instrument still not delivered – this month? • A number of problems encountered in thermal vacuum • Resolving those problems have impacted MAVEN power converter team, delayed STATIC & SWIA • We are still under planned FTE rate • but climbing a bit • Mostly due to people splitting time between projects • Note that 100% activity is often more than 40 hours/week in these cases • Plan was based on conservative assumptions about covering people

5. Accomplishments LPW, SEP, SWEA EM integrated with PFDPU EM PFDPU EM Early Payload test with Spacecraft EM SWEA Peer Review Completed STATIC Random Vibration Completed SEP Attenuator Life Test Completed More in instrument sections…

6. Ongoing Work Supporting Project planning process Supporting EMC, Payload, SDT working groups Completing EM board testing Completing SWIA/STATIC EM mechanical part fabrication Complete PF Package EM I&T Prepare for CDR

7. EM Status

8. PFP RFA Status All Done!

9. Trades, Issues HV801 issue still open Current plan is to buy HV801s from LADEE NMS, who has parts on order they no longer need. We still don’t have the parts in hand Working on an analysis to decide if the PFDPU mechanical design needs to be augmented to support the PWBs to avoid excessive displacements in vibe Analysis complete, passed on to GSFC expert for review. LPW Stacer Plating issue (NEW) After plating stacer with black Nickel it no longer stows properly Need plating for thermal reasons (aeroheating, thruster heating) Historically we have used a paint (DAG213), but that will not survive atomic oxygen at Mars Working with GSFC Materials on possible solutions

10. Thermal Status Received ‘Thermal Memos’ as well as spacecraft thermal model Some of the instruments are in trouble according to the thermal memo For example, STATIC goes to -100C We are working on identifying if the issue is the model or the design Our preliminary results are more benign

11. Top Risks P-20 reduced (mating procedure)

32. MAVEN PFP STATIC Status April 2011 Jim McFadden, STATIC Lead

33. STATIC Accomplishments Carbon foils mounted in TOF units survive vibration test – automated software used to evaluate foil breakage Ordered carbon foils on mica slides to improve mounting yield The design of START foil grid-frames was modified to compensate for poor clamping due to fabrication tolerances - new grid-frames ordered. Design of attenuator motor completed, drawings for ETU in process Energy analyzer/deflector parts drafted and ordered EM TDC board bench testing complete, part modifications made EM preamp 1 modified and working adequately for integration w/ TDC board – will be used while optimized preamp board is developed EM Anode, Preamp and TDC boards integrated – working EM Digital board passed power and PFDPU simulator interface testing, ready for interface test with TDC EM Sweep HV board partly loaded and in test (see pictures) Clean room equipment installed – racks, SS table, GN2 purge, etc. Helmholtz coil template fabricated, waiting on welding before assembly

34. STATIC EM Sweep HV Board

35. STATIC Open Issues One of two TOF electrical connections broke in 1 of the 3 units during vibration test (see pics) – connection redesigned for stress relief Mounting fixtures for handling flight carbon foil frames need to be fabricated before additional EM carbon foils are loaded New START foil grid-frames will require inspections after fabrication Preamp design changes nearly complete for optimal dynamic range – may require new layout EM 15kV-MCP board changed, MCP “stack stick” multiplier abandoned in favor of a pair of VMI multipliers and a tapped transformer – EM waiting on part placement changes (Berg). Digital board FPGA still in development EM LVPS loaded – waiting to be tested Manipulator fixtures for calibration chamber testing in development Some test harnesses and test cables still on order New calibration chamber ordered – delivery late May SS sink for clean room assembled – waiting for drain assembly

39. MAVEN PFP SEP Status April, 2011 Davin Larson, SEP Lead

40. SEP Accomplishments2011-04-12 Mechanical attenuator tests completed ~4500 cycles completed (all but ~1000 in vacuum) Integration of DAP board (& ½ sensor sans detectors) with PFDPU begun on 2011-04-11 Safe to mate –ok Initial power on - ok but receiving +6V and -6.3 volts instead of nominal +/- 5V Command test – ok Successfully turned on test pulser Bias voltage setting not working (not yet functional on DAP? Telemetry tests – ok Successful run of ‘SEP_DAPINIT’ Unbalanced analog voltages result in offset from baseline Successful run of “SEP_THRESH_SWEEP” Successful run of “SEP_TPSWEEP” Some cross talk visable that was not seen with MISG Noise level is substantially larger and assymetric Timing Tests – skipped SEP Aperture tests – ok SEP auto aperture closure – problem on REG SEP power inrush current test - OK ETU Silicon detectors (1 stack) delivered on 2011-04-12. DAP board 3 channels loaded on DAP #1 12 channels loaded on DAP #2 Actel programming: Using FPGA version 0x32

41. SEP PFDPU Interface Test Data Increased noise (and asymmetric) Data collected through PFDPU in APID 30 Dropouts? Cross talk?

42. Attenuator life test Life tests were done on 3 separate days. TCP/IP connection from computer to MISG was unreliable. Difference in actuation time is probably temperature related.

43. Attenuator Stroke vs. bus voltage Tested the range of bus voltages that would cause actuation. Below 22 V (2.08 V across nanomuscle), actuation failed in air.

44. SEP Open issues What voltage to use for +/- 5VA supply. Analog supply NOT currently regulated Need secondary regulation for A250? Eliminate requirement of 5V Digital altogether Mods needed for flight DAP board: Use faster transisters on pulse generator (fixes 3.3 volt logic problem) Use 2.5V reference instead of 5VA for baseline trim Use Valid signal for hysteresis on peak detect Gain change on peak detect circuit (perhaps not needed now) Switch from 10 MΩ to 1MΩ resister on bias voltage control 5 MΩ resistor to -5VA (-2.5R?) to correct for OpAmp input current (this mod is questionable if BLRena mode is working properly) Sensor Add detectors!!!! Insert caps on attenuator lines to clean up some noise FPGA Mods from version 0x32 Eliminate secondary pulse by applying BLRena for 6 μsec on test pulse return Extend test pulse duration from 10 μsec to 20 μsec 16 bit counters on no peak counters Ability to turn off housekeeping measurement Event mode resolution Testing: Purchase new nimbin and test pulser to replace AWOL test pulser Test for correct coincidence determination with FPGA New radiation source PFDPU testing Cross talk observed in PFDPU but not MISG? Increased Noise observed in PFDPU (probably resolved with shield boards) Telemetry dropouts from PFDPU science packets Possible change in opto coupler wiring of actuator control on DCB to eliminate any possibility of noise Baseline shift at high count rates – (probably not an issue) 1 mv shift in baseline shortly after the 1 pps signal More to come
