Milan's report:

  • RPW status overall good, TVAC passed, preparing for vibrations, Feb. 2020 still seems realistic.
  • More damage to instruments during AIT (MAG harness damaged this time).
  • All 3 RPW antennas installed. Damaged heatshield replaced.

2.

HK period during comissioning:

  • Diane's proposal was to increase the period of HK generation during housekeeping to 1 second.
  • TM bandwidth required for 1 second HK not negligible, but very small.
  • The proposal was agreed unanimously.

3.

Coordinate systems for L2 science data:

  • Baseline (already discussed at consortium meeting in Dresden): use both RTN and instrument coordinates.
  • In some cases, instrument coordinates are the only choice (e.g. SCM B_MF data).
  • Xavier considers having two coordinate systems space inefficient, proposes to include a transformation matrix instead - at least in some cases.
  • PSP FIELDS use RTN (TBC)
  • Jan to check with MAG
Jan: Check with Tim Horbury what coordinate system is used by MAG.
4.

Science data validation organization:

Everyone: to check DVVP and provide feedback to Xavier.

5.

Instrument paper:

  • Paper is now 60% complete
  • We are late, but not critically, we are not the worst in the class (yet).
  • Most contributions from team received, Andris will send his in ~2 weeks
  • Milan will send around the next draft by end January.
Milan to send the instrument paper draft.

Review of action items from last consortium meeting.

Actions from consortium meeting #21 (Dresden) here (slide 6):

20_RPW#21_June2018_Maksimovic_instrumentPaper_Science_Actions.pdf

AI1: Xavier  sent email to M. Pulupa and didn't get a response. We now have PSP data. New action: Milan to check by consortium meeting.

AI2: Milan is waiting for Axel Junge (ESA) to provide report from EMC tests. Milan will talk to Eric about involving interested ROB members in EMC telecons. EMC campaign will start June 3rd  (RPW 5-6 June).

AI3: In progress.

AI4: Ongoing (see point 3 above). To be done by next consortium meeting.

AI5: Ongoing. To be done before next consortium meeting.

AI6: Closed. New AI: Milan to finalize performance document.

AI7: Closed (presentation by Yuri given earlier).

AI8: Eric to organize a performance review at the end of commissioning. To describe in the commissioning plan.

Milan: To check with PSP the organization of TNR data (magnetic/electric)

Milan: Talk to Eric about involving interested ROB members in EMC telecons/campaign.

Milan: Finalize performance document.

Eric: to pu the performance review in the commissioning plan.

7.

AOB: SOWG at ESAC 21-23 January. Milan, Xavier and Jan (+ CNES representatives) will go.

Next telecon: February 22, 2019 14:00 CET
