About this file
This document is a Requirements Specification for the Space Weather Geostationary (SW GEO) Series Project Extreme Ultraviolet Imager (EUVI) instrument, establishing comprehensive performance, electrical, mechanical, environmental, and verification testing requirements for a space-qualified EUV imaging payload. The specification defines functional requirements for capturing extreme ultraviolet imagery of the solar corona with scene coverage from 0 to 1.5 solar radii, spatial resolution of 5 arcseconds or better, plasma temperature imaging range of 10^4.9 K to 10^7.2 K, signal-to-noise ratio of at least 10:1, and refresh rates of 2 minutes or less. Resource allocations include a mass limit of 39.4 kg, physical envelope constraints of 25 cm on each axis, operational power averaging 62.5 watts, peak instantaneous power of 94.5 watts, survival heater power of 22.5 watts, and telemetry data rates not exceeding 10,000 kbps for L1 orbit or 4 megabits per second for geosynchronous orbit.
The specification encompasses extensive environmental qualification requirements including quasi-static acceleration loads (18.1 to 51.3 g depending on mass), sinusoidal vibration testing across three axes, random vibration environments, shock testing per candidate launch vehicle shock envelopes, acoustic testing at 120-131 dB SPL, thermal vacuum testing with temperature ranges from -10°C to +40°C operational and -25°C to +50°C survival, and radiation hardness assurance for both low earth orbit (geosynchronous) and L1 mission profiles. Flight software capabilities must include autonomous health and safety monitoring, deterministic scheduling, reprogrammable modules and configuration tables, memory testing and dump functions, and warm restart capability with configuration preservation. The instrument shall interface with the spacecraft via SpaceWire data bus using CCSDS packet protocols, support six analog telemetry signals for passive temperature monitoring, and maintain pointing knowledge of 2.5 arcseconds at 3-sigma during normal operations. The specification document contains numerous "To Be Determined" (TBD) and "To Be Reviewed" (TBR) placeholder values requiring future definition through configuration control and change management processes per SW GEO project procedures at NASA/GSFC Code 495.0.

3 CONTRACT DESCRIPTION
3.1 EUVI Description
The EUVI will be capable of producing line of sight (LOS) imaging of the Sun’s hot outer atmosphere, or corona. EUV photons are created in the million-degree plasma of the corona.
Continual high-resolution observations of solar EUV emission aids in the early detection of solar flares, coronal mass ejections (CMEs), and other phenomena that impact the geospace environment.
EUV photons travel at the speed of light and are the first indication we receive at Earth of solar magnetic eruptions and associated flares. These high-energy photons cause changes to the Earth’s ionosphere and can result in significant degradation of radio communications, including complete black outs at some frequencies. The impacts begin only 8 minutes (time for light to travel from the Sun to Earth) after a flare.

EUVISPEC-114: The EUVI shall be capable of re-scheduling planned instrument events that occur during NWS-declared Critical Space Weather Days.
Rationale: Once the National Weather Service (NWS) declares a Critical Space Weather Day, it is expected that any pre-planned instrument activities (e.g., calibration maneuvers) will have the flexibility to be re-scheduled without impacting instrument performance. Space Weather Observations Programs Division (SWOPD) requires that the sum of daily data gaps for in situ Imager Imagery High Availability Product (HAP) be less than 5 min and any instrument’s pre-planned event has the potential to impact Imager Imagery HAP acquisition. The expected cadence and duration of NWS-declared Critical Space Weather Days could last between 3 and 21 consecutive days.
EUVISPEC-115: The EUVI shall provide a 99% or greater probability of providing all of the instrument data during S4 class solar radiation storms or solar flare conditions including class X50, verifying through analysis using the “Worst Week” October 1989 model in CREME96 or equivalent.
Check https://ipdtdms.gsfc.nasa.gov/frontmenu dsp.cfm to verify that this is the correct version prior to use.
Rationale: The CREME96 model includes the October 1989 solar particle event worst week model that conservatively bounds the single event effects environment in S4 and X50 solar events. It is expected that the probability of occurrence of outages as well as Bit Error Rates (BER) due to SEE will be used in the analysis that verifies this probability. Further definition of the worst week model can be found here:

4.7.3 Internally Generated Secondary to Primary DC Isolation
EUVISPEC-136: Secondary power inputs shall be isolated from primary power by a DC resistance of greater than 1 Megaohms.
Rationale: Isolating the instrument secondary power returns from the instrument primary power returns helps control common mode noise currents and minimizes magnetic field effects due to ground loops.
4.7.4 Internally Generated Secondary Return
EUVISPEC-138: The EUVI shall reference its secondary returns (power and signal grounds) to the unit chassis ground by connecting them at one or more places.
Rationale: NASA-HDBK-4001 Electrical Grounding Architecture for Unmanned Spacecraft.
