Subject: SDO Weekly Report for May 28, 2004 From: "Elizabeth A. Citrin" Date: Fri, 28 May 2004 14:30:02 -0400 To: SDO Weekly Report for May 28, 2004 The SDO Project, together with the LWS Program and the IRT, provided a briefing to the EPMC of the Program and Project Confirmation Review package that will be presented to the Agency PMC on June 1. The briefing was well received In a heroic effort on everyone?s part, two marathon CCB meetings were conducted to board the ACS and Propulsion specs and SOWs to support the upcoming procurements. Sixteen CCRs were reviewed during the two meetings, an SDO record. Many thanks to all who participated, especially our hard-working CM department! This week's SDO systems team meeting continued its focus on Subsystem Breadboard testing approaches, with the presentations and discussion focusing on SDN and PSE development/testing, as well as an overview of FSW diagnostic requirements received from each subsystem and staffing and support plans for Breadboard debugging and testing. The weekly parts meeting focused on the kitting of Breadboards parts in preparation of breadboard manufacturing, the identification of ETU and flight parts lists for parts procurement for the these next hardware phases of the SDO program, and the status of the SDN SRAM parts deliveries. SDN Breadboards continue to be built up; two boards have been completed with existing 512kB SRAM parts to work around the delay experienced in receiving 2 MB SRAM parts. The delay was caused by software and test problems experienced by the vendor (3D PLUS). The current plan is to ship two SRAM proto-parts on 6/4/04, followed by all remaining parts within two weeks after this date. The ACS team has been making progress with their Breadboard by integrating the ACE EVD, two EVD emulator cards, the PCC emulator, and an analyzer card to their backplane. Layout effort continued for the GCE GIC and GCE ASD, SPN PCC and LPSC, ACE RWI, and C&DH Ka Com, S Comm ASD, BMC, Overlay and PSE ASD Breadboards. The SSPA Breadboard #2 was in test. A SDO CCB meeting was held to baselinea number of ACS component (CSS, RWA, IRU and Star Tracker) Specs and SOWS and Propulsion Subsystem component (Main Engine, Regulator, Tank and ACS Thruster) Specs and SOWS. The ACS and Propulsion teams should be commended for working hard to meet this milestone. The SDO Systems Assurance Manager (SAM), in coordination with the AIM and GLORY SAMs, traveled to the Laboratory for Atmospheric Space Physics (LASP) to discuss the findings cited in a Supplier Assurance Contract (SAC) audit that was performed at LASP earlier this year. The SAC audit was performed in accordance with AS9100, the quality system requirements for suppliers to the aerospace industry issued August of 2001. The standard has approximately 80 additional requirements plus other requirements and 18 amplifications of the ISO 9001:2000 Standard. Since the SDO, AIM, and GLORY Mission Assurance Requirements (MAR) that LASP is contractually bound to were based on meeting the intent of the ISO 9001:2000 Standard, a number of issues were raised by the audit that are out of scope relative to the contracts that LASP has in place with GSFC. Two days were spent with the LASP Director of Engineering andProduct Assurance Manager to focus on the findings relevant to each program and to close out those items that were not deemed applicable. LASP personnel were open and willing to the audit findings with GSFC. Some issues were identified regarding documentation of processes, quality record retention, and training. Based on the direction and level of effort that appears to have been applied to date, expectations are high that LASP will be successful in addressing these issues over the coming months. EVE presented program status this week in its first Monthly Status Review. Mike Anfinson provided insight into the program at LASP as well as major subcontracts at MIT LL and USC. Some re-planning is on-going to accommodate late requirement definition, adjusted ordering of components, staff shortages and late SDN delivery from GSFC. The effects of the re-planning are small, do not reduce the overall program slack and are considered normal. EVE is currently under-spending on its cost plan due to the slow procurements and low staffing. The main items on the EVE watch list are the CCD and camera development at MIT LL, filter robustness andMEGS CCD cooling system development. Spacecraft resource requirements for EVE remain steady and within budget. The MIT LL task add-on SOW has been drafted and is in the CM system for control. AIA nears completion of parts fabrication for early test efforts, including the prototype and life test mechanisms, the SAO telescope ball joint mount, and the flange-to-tube bond test. The LMSAL software team continued their development effort of SUROM loaded on the engineering unit RAD6000 processor. Completion of the documentation required for the AIA Phase C/D/E contract continues to progress with receipt of the LMSAL technical evaluation of the SAO subcontract. The HMI primary and secondary lens order was placed and four sets are due late August 2004. The detailed radiation analysis is progressing with a review of initial results scheduled for May 28. e2v is on schedule to complete Standard gate CCD devices by the third week of June. RAL is now running the Waveform Generator (WFG) close to the required 2 Mhz, and received a shipment of WFG ASICs. The WFG ASICs contained 11 "gold" devices and gives HMI/AIA more than enough WFGs ASICS for flight.
