CERES FM6 Instrument Performance Issues

•  The CERES FM6 Team continues to pursue resolution of three issues:

1.  Solar Diffuser Mirror Attenuator Mosaic (MAM) scatter non-uniformity 2.  Internal Calibration Module (ICM) lamp brightening 3.  Internal Calibration Module (ICM) reference detector photodiode (PD)

response decrease

•  In May of 2012, FM6 had completed its baseline calibration with the following open issues:

•  SWICS lamp appears to have increased in brightness throughout the calibration campaign whereas the source monitor photodiode indicated a decrease in source output throughout the calibration campaign

•  Data from MAM scatter testing indicate spatial non-uniformity of >4.5% vs. 1.5% measured at component level.

•  If not resolved, CERES FM-6 will not meet its on-orbit SW channel performance accuracy requirement

Performance Resolution Approach

ICM Resolution •  Isolate Performance Problems

•  ICM Vacuum Test determined the Lamp and PD performance issues are confined to the ICM

•  ICM Diagnostic Test to further isolate performance issues

•  Select replacement flight Lamp and PD from CERES heritage or CERES FM6 parts

MAM Resolution (Complete) •  Isolate Performance Problem

•  Diamond-Turned Tooling marks have been identified as the source of MAM performance issue

•  Select replacement flight MAM from CERES heritage MAMs •  Pe-condition MAM using AO asher from GRC

•  Verify ICM performance in vacuum

•  Verify Instrument Performance

•  Conduct SAR/PSRR

CERES FM6 MAM Overview

•  Mirror Attenuator Mosaics (MAMs) diffuse and attenuate incident solar energy so that the CERES Shortwave and Total Channels are presented with repeatable, on-scale radiance scenes over the range of incident angles experienced during periodic, on-orbit, solar calibrations.

•  MAMs fabricated for FM6 are different than prior flight units –  Substrate is Diamond Turned Aluminum vs. Electroformed Nickel –  Coatings updated for improved resistance to Atomic Oxygen

•  Why did we change Fab process? –  Diamond turned aluminum substantially easier to fabricate than electroformed nickel and electroform/grinding

process has low yield ~25%.

ICM Major Accomplishments since Summer 2012

♦ Performed Ambient Instrument-level testing  Testing showed possible air recovery of PD response  Testing eliminated gravity effects as root cause for anomaly

♦ Module-level ICM Diagnostic Vacuum Performance  Completed 7 vacuum test

•  Isolated problem to the ICM •  Tested FM6 Lamp and flight candidate lamp assemblies SN 23, 16, & 24 •  Testing of FM6 PD and flight candidate PD assemblies SN 94, 77

 Discovered and corrected filter assembly issues •  Reworked filter mounting to shim space between filter and PD window •  Devised/implemented temporary filter mounting to eliminate epoxy

♦ Performed initial stray light test   Remove and replace ICM Cover does not affect PD Signal

♦ Exonerated ICM Electronics under vacuum ♦ Performed filter stability assessment

  Measured shift does not affect PD Signal

Near Term Path Forward with Photodiode

♦ Complete PD sensitivity to lamp de-centering using Breadboard ICM ♦ Prepare test set for ambient thermal sensitivity testing ♦ Configure ICM for Vacuum Test #8

 Lamp SN24  PD 1DB55 SN94 (assuming uniformity is achieved, test with placed

filter) ♦ Complete leak test of FM6 PD

 NG is working the planning to remove PD from mount for this testing ♦ Build-up and vacuum test of non-flight ODC 1DB55 in BB ♦ Build-up TVAC capability for final module test ♦ Resolve PD radiation sensitivity issue
