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.

Figure 1. TSIS-2 Block Diagram
Note: All harnesses between the TSIS-2 spacecraft and the instrument components shall be provided by the spacecraft vendor (all intra-instrument harnesses are provided by the instrument vendor). Mating connector halves on the instrument side of harnesses between the spacecraft and the instruments will be provided as Government Furnished Equipment (GFE).
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.

7 DATA INTERFACES
7.1 Communication Protocols
Per Figure 1 above, the TSIS-2 instruments communicate via a heritage “GCI Packet” format.
Because this format is somewhat complex and the spacecraft has no need to parse instrument commands and telemetry, the spacecraft will treat the interface to the instruments as a simple “bent-pipe” or bytestream.
The communication link between all TSIS-2 components and spacecraft shall be an asynchronous RS-422 connection operating at 460.8 kbaud with 8 bits of data, 1 start bit, 1 stop bit, and no parity bit.
7.1.1 Telemetry
Telemetry from TIM and the SIM/FSS assembly consists of 64-bit ‘words’ where one or more ‘words’ constitute a packet. The format of a GCI telemetry ‘word’ is shown in Table 10.
Table 10. GCI Telemetry 'Word' Format GCI Telemetry Header (1 byte) Data (7 bytes) Bit: 63 62:60 59 58:57 56 55:0
Parity (1 bit)
Channel
ID
(3 bits)
Immediate Pkt (1 bit)
Packet Grouping (2 bits)
Housekeeping Pkt (1 bit)
Data (7 bytes)
The SIM, TIM, and FSS each have unique Channel IDs. Since the FSS data are routed through the SIM GCI, the Channel ID can be used to separate FSS data from SIM data. The Packet Grouping bits distinguish a ‘word’ as either the first, middle, last, or single ‘word’ in a packet.
The Immediate Pkt and Housekeeping Pkt bits help indicate the packet type; these packets are produced by the GCI Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA). If neither bit is set, the ‘word’ was created by the instrument flight software and the packet type is embedded within the first byte of the Data field. TIM flight software produces 9 different telemetry packets and SIM flight software produces 14 different telemetry packets. The FSS and GCI Housekeeping and Immediate packets are fixed length as are most, but not all of the flight software packets.
Instrument telemetry packet generation is configurable on a per-packet basis for those packets that are not event driven.
The parity bit is the most significant bit of the most significant byte of the GCI telemetry ‘word’.
GCI telemetry ‘words’ are transmitted by byte in bit order from 64 to 0, as labeled in Table 10.
Parity of GCI telemetry words is even.

7.1.1.1 The spacecraft shall verify parity of each TSIS-2 instrument GCI telemetry ‘word’ received.
7.1.1.2 The spacecraft shall maintain in telemetry unique counts of GCI telemetry ‘words’ received with bad parity on both of the SIM and TIM telemetry streams.
7.1.1.3 The spacecraft shall include GCI telemetry ‘words’ with bad parity in the real-time downlink stream and recorded telemetry buffer. This helps facilitate troubleshooting efforts and may allow for partial data recovery.
7.1.2 Commands
The FSS does not have command capability. Commands to the TIM and SIM consist of a single 32-bit GCI command ‘word’. There is no higher level packetization structure for instrument commands. The format of a GCI command ‘word’ is shown in Table 11.

The SIM and TIM command ‘word’ Channel IDs match those used for GCI Telemetry ‘words’.
Embedded within the Data bytes is a command identifier (opcode) that is interpreted by the GCI FPGA. Commands to the embedded instrument flight software are indicated by a single GCI opcode. Due to the limited size of commands to the flight software, many instrument commands require multiple command words to be sent to achieve a single task (setting a telemetry packet production period, for example); however, there is no requirement on the time between receipt of these command ‘words’- it can be as long as necessary given round-trip uplink times, latencies, command execution verification requirements, etc.
The spacecraft shall have the capability to immediately route uplinked commands to the TSIS-2 instrument components (SIM, TIM) for real-time execution.
7.2 Real Time Telemetry Output
To conduct TSIS-2 instrument testing during Observatory I&T and during on-orbit commissioning and troubleshooting, instrument telemetry data shall be included in the real-time downlink telemetry stream from the spacecraft.
7.3 Telemetry Storage
The nominal orbit average TSIS-2 instrument telemetry rates at the instrument interface are given in Table 12. The telemetry rates may be higher during ground testing and on-orbit commissioning and troubleshooting.

7.4 Telemetry Monitoring
No instrument telemetry needs to be monitored by the spacecraft bus for fault detection or any other purpose. The complex nature of the instrument telemetry format makes any such monitoring impractical.

8.1 Solar Pointing
The spacecraft shall perform solar pointing for nominal science data collection for the full sunlit period of each orbit.
8.2 Dark Pointing
8.2.1 The spacecraft shall point the instruments towards dark space (i.e., moon and earth out of the instrument FOVs) for calibration data collection during the eclipse portion of each orbit.
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.

1.1.1 Thermal Sensors
One spacecraft monitored thermal sensor is affixed to each instrument sensor assembly. The spacecraft vendor should provide the thermal sensors to the payload team prior to instrument-level environmental testing for integration into the instrument assembly. The payload team will be responsible for providing any necessary cabling to wire the sensor to the spacecraft interface connector.
1.2 Communications Interface
The TSIS-2 instrument GCIs communicate with the host spacecraft over dedicated (i.e. one TIM and one SIM/FSS) asynchronous RS-422 connections operating at 460.8 kbaud (+/- 1%). Signal levels are at 3.3 V and 45 Ohm source series termination is used. The transmission protocol includes 8 data bits, 1 start bit (active low), 1 stop bit (active high), and no parity bit. The data field will be ordered with the least significant bit first and most significant bit last. The TIM and SIM use heritage ‘GCI Packet’ data formats for both commanding and telemetry. No input or output discretes and no sync pulse is used on the instrument interface. Data error checking is performed using parity at the command (32-bit) and telemetry (64-bit) ‘word’ level.
The GCIs are capable of receiving commands and transmitting telemetry at the same time (duplex operation).

1.2.1 Instrument to Spacecraft Telemetry
GCI telemetry ‘words’ consisting of 64 bits of data will be sent least significant byte first (i.e.
bits 0:7 as labeled in
1.2.2 Spacecraft to Instrument Commands
GCI command ‘words’ consisting of 32 bits of data must be sent least significant byte first (i.e.
bits 0:7 as labeled in Figure 12).
1.3 Data
The TSIS-2 instruments communicate via a heritage “GCI Packet” format. Because this format is somewhat complex and the spacecraft has no need to parse instrument commands and telemetry, the spacecraft should treat the interface to the instruments as a simple “bent-pipe” or byte stream.
The TSIS-2 instruments have no absolute time clocks and do not include any time stamp in their data. Thus, the TSIS-2 spacecraft must add time to the instrument data with a resolution and accuracy of at least 100 ms relative to the spacecraft clock. It is assumed that the spacecraft clock will be maintained such that all data can be time corrected to within 100 ms of UTC.
On prior missions, instrument hosts have grouped instrument telemetry ‘words’ into 1 second frames that start with the first telemetry data sent by the instrument after application of power.
Each frame of data was packaged into a CP-PDU that contained a time stamp and was routed for immediate downlink and/or storage for later downlink.
1.3.1 Telemetry
Telemetry from TIM and the SIM/FSS consists of 64-bit ‘words’ where one or more ‘words’ constitute a packet. The format of a GCI telemetry ‘word’ is shown in

The SIM, TIM, and FSS each have unique Channel IDs. Since the FSS data are routed through the SIM GCI, the Channel ID can be used to separate FSS telemetry ‘words’ from SIM telemetry. The Packet Grouping bits distinguish a ‘word’ as either the first, middle, last, or only ‘word’ in a packet. The Immediate Pkt and Housekeeping Pkt bits help indicate the packet type;

GCI telemetry ‘words’ are transmitted by byte (per Section 1.2 of this document) in bit order from 0 to 63, as labeled in

To facilitate payload interface troubleshooting, the TSIS-2 spacecraft should verify parity for each TSIS-2 payload telemetry ‘word’ received and should maintain a running count of the number of ‘words’ received with parity errors on each RS-422 link. All payload data, including any ‘words’ with bad parity should be routed to the real-time downlink stream during observatory-level integration and test as well as on-orbit instrument commissioning.
1.3.2 Commands
The FSS does not have a command capability. Commands to the TIM and SIM consist of a single 32-bit GCI command ‘word’. There is no higher level packetization structure for instrument commands. The format of a GCI command ‘word’ is shown in Figure 12.

The SIM and TIM command ‘word’ Channel IDs match those used for GCI Telemetry ‘words’.
Embedded within the Data bytes is a command identifier (opcode) that is interpreted by the GCI FPGA. Commands to the embedded instrument flight software are indicated by a single GCI opcode; these commands have an additional software command identifier (opcode) in the second byte of the Data field. Only the least significant 16 bits of the Data field are used for software commands. Due to the limited size of commands to the flight software, many instrument commands require multiple command ‘words’ to be sent to achieve a single task (setting a telemetry packet production period, for example). There is no upper limit on the time between receipt of these command ‘words’—it can be as long as necessary given round-trip uplink times, latencies, command execution verification requirements, etc.
Commands are processed initially by the GCI firmware, which verifies parity, channel ID, and the command opcode. If the command is a software command, it is forwarded on to software for further processing. Any command error detected by the firmware, including bad data field values for commands not forwarded on to software, will result in the transmission of an Immediate packet containing the command ‘word’ that caused the error. Any command errors detected by the software are indicated in the software status telemetry packet.
