1 INTRODUCTION

The TSIS-2 instrument suite consists of two instruments, the Total Irradiance Monitor (TIM) and the Spectral Irradiance Monitor (SIM), each with its associated electronics boxes, called Generic Channel Interfaces (GCI), and one Fine Sun Sensor (FSS). TSIS-2 is an almost identical copy of the TSIS-1 instruments that is successfully flying on the International Space Station.

1.1 Purpose

This document is intended to serve as the reference for spacecraft and instruments for key instruments-to-spacecraft mechanical, electrical, thermal, optical, data and operational interfaces.

1.2 Scope

This document covers only the interfaces between the TSIS-2 instruments, GCIs, the FSS, and the spacecraft.

To be Determined (TBD)

The TIM and SIM each have its own GCI that contains the logic and electronics needed to operate the mechanisms and collect science and housekeeping data from the instrument. Each instrument will incorporate a thermostatically-controlled survival heater that will be powered by the spacecraft bus. The SIM also mechanically incorporates an FSS that is precisely aligned with the instrument apertures. The SIM GCI provides the power and data interfaces to the FSS that is mounted on the SIM instrument.

3.2 Total Irradiance Monitor

The TIM instrument is a quad-channel electrical substitution radiometer (ESR) records the total (integrated) solar irradiance. The detectors are embedded deep within the instrument behind several layers of light baffles and a set of shutter mechanisms (one shutter per “cone” detector).

Precision apertures are incorporated to ensure that the instrument will meet its high accuracy science requirement. Four cavities are used with varying rates on orbit to provide long-term degradation corrections for the instrument. The cavity shutters not only prevent exposure of the cavities, but also modulate the solar input during science observations by cycling (typically, on a 100 second period). During orbit eclipse periods, the TIM continues to take dark data for calibration purposes.

3.3 Spectral Irradiance Monitor

The SIM instrument is a three-channel prism spectrometer that records the solar irradiance as a function of wavelength. Each channel consists of an entrance slit, shutter, prism, precision exit slit, and focal plane detectors in the form of three photodiodes and a single bolometer. The prisms for all three channels sit in a single caddy and are rotated by a single motor. A fourth optical path and mirror attached to the prism caddy couple with a charge coupled device (CCD) on the focal plane to provide position encoding for the prism drive and thus, feedback for the wavelengths incident on the science detectors. The shutters in the optical paths not only serve to prevent exposure of the prisms and detectors, but also modulate the solar input during science observations by cycling (typically with a 40 to 200 second period). SIM data is continuously produced, even while not performing a scan with the prism. Dark data are collected during some orbit day periods simply by scanning the prism while holding the shutters closed.

3.4 TIM Generic Channel Interface

The Instrument Provider uses a single design for the power, digital logic, and science data interface for both the SIM and TIM instruments. This GCI design also provides circuitry for the control of the shutters, vacuum doors, and vent valve mechanisms on the instruments. It incorporates a LEON3 microprocessor for low-level instrument control and command and data handling (C&DH). Software is stored in Electrically Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory (EEPROM) that can be modified on-orbit. The GCI has interfaces to the instrument as well as to the spacecraft and incorporates EMI and soft-start filters in the power circuitry.

3.5 SIM Generic Channel Interface

The SIM GCI is nearly identical to the TIM GCI, but also incorporates an additional electronics board that provides circuitry and logic to control the prism drive actuator. Like the TIM, the SIM GCI hosts software that provides low-level instrument control and C&DH. This software is stored in EEPROM that can be modified on-orbit. In addition to interfaces to the SIM instrument and to the spacecraft, the GCI provides power and receives telemetry from the FSS that is mounted on the SIM instrument.

3.6 Fine Sun Sensor

The FSS uses a quad diode and special filters to provide high-resolution feedback on the position of the sun. The FSS produces raw quad diode values at 10 Hertz (Hz). Incorporated into this data are a handful of basic housekeeping values, such as temperature, that can be used to produce calibrated solar offset angles in two dimensions.

8.2.2 The spacecraft shall transition from normal solar pointing to dark space pointing within 200 seconds of eclipse entry.

9 OBSERVATORY INTEGRATION AND TEST CONSIDERATIONS

9.1 Operation

The TSIS-2 instrument suite will be operated by the instrument provider personnel during each phase of ground testing.

9.2 TIM Backfill/Vacuum

The TIM instrument will be maintained at positive pressure with respect to ambient during ground testing, with the exception of during high-vacuum thermal vacuum testing.

The Instrument Provider will arrange for provision of the Ultra High Purity argon gas required for the backfill at both Observatory I&T and launch site I&T.

9.3 SIM Backfill

The TIM instrument will be maintained at positive pressure with respect to ambient during ground testing, with the exception of during high-vacuum thermal vacuum testing.

9.4 Vent Valve Operation

The SIM and TIM instruments may be vented during Observatory-level Thermal Balance and TVAC testing. The volume of gas for each instrument is small relative to the TVAC chamber, but chamber operators will need to be prepared for the vent operation. The venting will be performed well in advance of vacuum door operation, if necessary.

9.5 Vacuum Door Operation

Any time the TIM and SIM vacuum doors are opened, there is a contamination risk to the instrument. The doors may be opened during Observatory-level Thermal Balance and TVAC testing. When returning to ambient pressure, the instruments will need to power on briefly so that the doors can be closed prior to chamber door opening.

9.6 TIM Standard Watt Testing

The TIM instrument requires periodic characterization of its science electronics circuitry, which is performed in a Standard Watt Test. This test requires GSE to be connected directly to the instrument sensor as described in Section 4.5.2 of this document. The TIM standard watt testing will be conducted by LASP personnel.

Check the TSIS-2 TDMS Server at https://ipdtdms.gsfc.nasa.gov to verify that this is the correct version prior to use.

9.7 SIM/FSS Stimulus

A stimulus GSE assembly will be mounted on the SIM instrument for certain tests as described in Section 4.5.6 of this document. The SIM/FSS stimulus will be operated by LASP personnel throughout I&T.
