1 Engineering Status Optics Mechanical Control System Management Budget Schedule Prime Focus Imaging Spectrograph Status Oct 10, 2002 SSWG 1 Optics Design Updates Slit Throughput VPH Grating Complement Optomechanical Concerns Procurement plan Oct 10, 2002 SSWG 2

2 Optics Design Updated camera and collimator to final indices ~ 2 image quality degradation; decrease manufacturing margin? relieve spec? Completed thermal design. Focus in camera Updated pupil placement and fold mirror position for maximum NIR collimated beam Details Fused silica -> fused quartz in common collimator beam (for NIR) Details Camera configuration update Details Oct 10, 2002 SSWG 3 Slit Throughput PDR: max resolution 6250 overstated. Used median seeing 0.9 arcsec, not telescope image Model using seeing degraded to 37 deg ZD, actual SAC, actual PFIS model In median seeing, a 1.25 arcsec slit will give 7 throughput Resolution at a given grating angle reduced to 7. Found can increase maximum articulation of camera to 100 deg, increases max resolution 2: R = 5500 at 50 deg tilt, 1.25 arcsec slit Oct 10, 2002 SSWG 4

3 Spectral Resolution vs. Throughput Oct 10, 2002 SSWG 5 VPH Grating Complement VPH procurement in next 6 months, tradeoff required: UV efficiency vs high resolution efficiency Suggest: efficiency in UV for highest and lowest density gratings; efficiency at high resolution for other three Note that SALT can easily add VPH gratingsmagazine designed for swapout Oct 10, 2002 SSWG 6

4 VPH tradeoff Oct 10, 2002 SSWG 7 Optomechanical Largest PDR risk: optics, especially optomechanical, underbudgeted Award subcontract for optomechanical to J. Alan Schier optomechanics for Keck ESI, DEIMOS comfortable with fluid coupling, salt, solgel Tasks mounting tolerancing design, fabricate lens holders assemble lens groups Oct 10, 2002 SSWG 8

5 Current concerns Coating strategy baseline: solgel on interior surfaces; hard elsewhere cost poorly defined Stress birefringence in collimator potentially degrading polarimetric efficiency blanks: NaCl possible problem; lack of data Details 4 CaF 2 blank costs may be increased investigating VPH and etalon effects Oct 10, 2002 SSWG 9 Optics procurement before CDR third etalon (before year s end to get good price) fold flat/ coating camera/ collimator blanks grating blanks just after CDR camera/ collimator figuring waveplates, beamsplitter VPH gratings Oct 10, 2002 SSWG 10

6 Structure/ Mechanisms Structure guide mount interface designed collimator assembly Mechanisms designed waveplate slitmask grating. 6 grating complement camera articulation. Will do full articulation in < 20 sec (enable PFIS imaging mode as slitmask setup) Articulate to 100 deg Details Oct 10, 2002 SSWG 11 Control System Hardware generic mechanism test bed operational: use for LabView learning curve, answering operational questions for mechanism designs wiring architecture; box placement; cable harness Software actually operating hardware prototype client / server, scripting developed consistent with telescope architecture Details Oct 10, 2002 SSWG 12

8 Chief Deltas Q1-2 ($94K) CDR electrical engineering underestimate $15K SAAO Cryotiger, etc $25K US$ slowed inflation $50K Q2-2 ($139K) Drafting subcontract underestimate: $97K - $50K - $20K = $27K. Control mech design schedule risk. Optomechanical subcontract: $220K - $50K - $20K = $150K. Control optics technical/ schedule risk; biggest PDR budget deficiency Oct 10, 2002 SSWG 15 Prognosis Contingency use (58%) somewhat above expected (5) at this point, but still on track. Remaining deltas will be much better known at CDR: Capital purchases. Preliminary RFQ s on largest likely increases: CaF 2 blanks; coatings likely savings: mechanisms/controls; lens fabrication; slitmask mill Schedule. Remaining contingency would cover 8 months slip. When do we start spending contingency? At current rate, Q1 04; at rate which would spend cap, Q4 03 (well after CDR) Oct 10, 2002 SSWG 16

9 Schedule Milestone: CDR 17 Mar, 2002 slipped 2 months from PDR; mechanical design critical path recover: drafting/ engineering subcontract help Optical optomechanical subcontract kickoff procure blanks, issue pre-cdr RFQs Mechanical: 4 most complex mechanisms completed Control System: in progress hardware wiring diagram Labview design well under way Detail fabrication/ testing schedule in work this month Details Oct 10, 2002 SSWG 17 Done!
