1 INTRODUCTION

Solar-B will study the connections between fine magnetic field elements in the photosphere and the structure and dynamics of the entire solar atmosphere.
The mission will perform three basic types of observation with high spatial, spectral and temporal resolution :
Determination of the photospheric magnetic vector and velocity fields.
Observation of the properties of the resulting plasma structures in the transition region and
corona.
Measurement of the detailed density, temperature and velocity of these structures.
The EUV imaging spectrometer (EIS) will obtain plasma velocities to an accuracy of <= 10 km s-1 along with temperatures and densities in the transition region and corona at <2 arc sec resolution.


2 OVERVIEW

2.1 Description

EIS consists of a multi-layer coated single mirror telescope, and a stigmatic imaging spectrometer incorporating a multilayer coated diffraction grating. The image produced by the primary mirror is imaged onto an entrance slit/slot and the light which passes through this spectrometer aperture is dispersed and re-imaged at the focal plane of the CCD detectors.

A separate electronics box (ICU) provides the instrument control functions and interface with the spacecraft.

6 SPECTROMETER

6.1 Structure

The subsystems of the spectrometer are supported by a composite structure. This structure consists of a single base plate which performs the function of an optical bench. The optical elements are mounted directly (or near directly) from inserts within this composite base. The Spectrometer enclosure is formed by side and top composite panels which are held together with titanium inserts. The upper panel is divided into two parts, one of which is removable to provide access to the grating and slit-slot assemblies. Access to the mirror is via the associated end panel. The structure also provides for optical baffling.

The mechanical structure of EIS is shown in the drawing GA Proposal, SR8193, see Appendix 1 (file reference FR 1).

6.2 Stiffness

The lowest characteristic frequency is 75Hz about the mounting legs.

6.6 Field of View and Exclusion Zone

The EIS instrument views the Sun through a front aperture at the end of a rectangular baffle tube. This baffle tube extends sunward beyond the thin aluminum filters. The angular size of the Sun is 0.5 degree, and the baffles and aperture openings are sized to accommodate this angle plus a 2 mm margin all around.

Figure 6-6a. EIS Entrance Aperture
The front aperture is actually an oval to accommodate the ±10 mm X translation of the primary mirror, but is assumed to be circular here for simplicity and to be 200.2 mm in diameter.
While the Sun only occupies a 0.5° cone angle, the front portion of the baffle tube serves to protect the thin aluminum filters from micrometeorites, orbital debris, and contamination. The most likely source of contamination or damage is from components of the Solar-B spacecraft itself. Outgassing from warm surfaces and particulates such as paint flakes will be very damaging to the filters. For this reason, the front baffle tube has been designed so that the filters have no direct line of sight to other components of the spacecraft. In the present design, there is a light baffle midway between the filter and the entrance aperture. A zone of exclusion in front of the EIS aperture is configured in front of EIS such that no straight-line path within this zone can reach beyond the middle baffle. Such an exclusion zone has a full angular extent of 48° about the S/C Z direction. The entrance aperture center point location in S/C coordinates and footpoint B0 are given as S/C coordinates in Table 6-6. The coordinates of B0 are as supplied by the System (see file fairing.pdf from H. Hara dated 1/18/00), and the EIS aperture has been calculated from this point, should B0 move, the EIS aperture will move with it.

6.7 Disturbances

Disturbances to the spacecraft can be caused by both translating and rotational mechanisms.

Translating Mechanisms

  1. Primary Mirror (MIR): The primary mirror translates back and forth in the X direction by ± 8mm. This coarsely positions the image of the region of interest on the spectrometer slit. The selection of a single mirror telescope forces us to move the 2.3kg mirror assembly instead of a much smaller secondary mirror to do this. It is driven by one of the stepper motors mentioned above through a gearhead, which turns a ball screw. At its top speed of 200 steps/sec, the mirror can move 16 mm in 28.63 sec. It has already been determined that this is UA, but a speed reduction to 100 steps/sec brings us to a CA angular momentum, and further reductions can be made as necessary. Cell F7 of the spreadsheet contains the time required for a 16 mm translation. The 16mm range is worst case, and corresponds to a slew from the East limb of the sun to the West limb. A mirror translation will be required whenever a new target is selected for EIS. This might occur on the order of once a day.
The cumulative angular momentum for the mirror translation is independent of the speed of the motion, depending only on the mass of the object, the distance from the S/C CG, and the distance traveled. For the EIS Primary mirror, the full range travel results in two UA values. These come into the CA range when moving smaller distances (on the order of 3mm), but we expect that since the motion is slow (taking ~1 min or more) the ACS can keep up with the disturbance. It is expected that re-pointing EIS will only occur when a new target is chosen for all Solar B instruments and the move can be made while fine pointing control is not required. If necessary, EIS can delay its move until the other instruments are finished exposing. It may be necessary to provide advance information to the ACS system to permit it to anticipate the disturbance. The S/C ACS engineers in Japan are studying this.
It is important to note that the range of this motion is limited to ±8mm in the X direction, so the cumulative angular momentum cannot grow beyond the maximum reported value. Any movement to an extreme position must be followed by a movement in the opposite direction. In the long term, the EIS targets will be randomly located on the sun and the cumulative angular momentum from the primary mirror will be zero.
  1. Grating Focus (GRA): A grating focus mechanism is included, and incorporates the same motor and lead screw combination that is used for the primary mirror. Focus adjustments move the grating in the X-Z plane along a line making a 4.3° angle with the Z-axis. The disturbance was calculated for a 1mm movement of the grating, but normal movements are expected to be on the order of 0.25mm or less. The movement was assumed to take 60 sec. It is expected that several focus movements will be made during the commissioning of EIS, and once a best focus is attained, this mechanism will rarely be used. The speed of this movement could easily be increased, as the angular momentum is small.

Rotating Components:

There are three components that have rotational motions within EIS. The pivoting of the primary mirror during fine scan mode and the rotation of the shutter blade both are operational modes that involve continuous periodic motion. The third, the slit/slot interchange is an intermittent motion.
  1. Mirror Fine Scan (MIR): The primary mirror fine scan is a rotation of the primary by up to 4 arc min about an axis located at the vertex of the mirror and oriented in the S/C Y direction. During the fine scan, the mirror moves very slowly, for example in steps of ~1 arcsec/sec. At the end of a scan, the mirror flies back to the starting position in about 2 sec. This “flyback” disturbance is calculated here (worst case). However, the sum of the fine scan and the flyback result is zero cumulative angular momentum for each scan cycle. The CG of the mirror is 3.81cm from the axis of rotation, so this is treated as a “static imbalance” disturbance. The disturbances are small since the angular travel is extremely small.
  2. Shutter (SLA): The shutter blade is directly driven by a Kolmorgen 1” size stepper motor. The shutter is a thin disk with a sector cut out for the open position, so we have a static imbalance. The missing mass of this cutout is the source of this imbalance. Q for this item is 3.89E-6 Kg-m, and the worst cast rotational speed (15.7 rad/sec) is assumed for a 180° rotation in 0.2 sec in the shortest exposures. The rotation axis of the shutter is in the X-Z plane and makes a 4.3° angle with the Z-axis. Reversing the shutter direction periodically possibly after every exposure can null the cumulative angular momentum.
EIS’s shutter executes one complete cycle for each exposure, and the cadence can be as high as 1 Hz. This may be close to a vibration mode of the solar panels. The solar panel mode frequencies are TBD and must be determined on orbit. Exposure cadences must be chosen after launch to avoid exciting these resonances.
  1. Slit/Slot Mechanism (SLA): The slit/slot mechanism is used to bring different sized apertures to the slit position. There are four apertures located 90° apart on a paddle wheel-like holder. A 90° rotation brings another slit into position. The mechanism is driven by a size 12 (0.75”) CDA Astro stepper motor. A reducing gearhead is used to give the positioning accuracy required. The rotation axis is in the X-Z plane, nearly parallel to X. 14 sec are required to make the 90° movement, and intermittent operations several times per hour might occur in some observing plans. The device is tiny and moves slowly putting its disturbance into the “A” category.

Conclusions

All the disturbance torques except those associated with retargeting EIS by moving the Primary Mirror were found to be Acceptable (A) or Conditionally acceptable (CA). Steps that will be taken to minimize the UA effects on cumulative angular momentum are as follows: 1) The ACS system will study compensations for the EIS Primary Mirror movements. 2) Primary movements will be scheduled, not autonomous, and will occur within periods where fine pointing is not required by other instruments. 3) Movements of the Primary Mirror will be of duration consistent with the time constants of the ACS control system. 4) EIS will keep the moving mass to the practical minimum consistent with mechanical and optical constraints


6.8 Provisional EIS Co-alignment


The Solar B instrument complement must be sufficiently well co-aligned to have reasonable overlap of the three instrument’s fields of view. To accommodate co-alignment at the spacecraft level, the EIS instrument will have an optical alignment cube. The alignment cube will be aligned to the EIS telescope optical axis to within 20 arc-seconds on an optical bench in the laboratory. The cube will be utilized to co-align the EIS optical axis with the axes of the spacecraft sun sensor and the other instruments. Along the north-south direction, the EIS field of view is 1024 arc-seconds and along the east-west direction the coarse mirror motion corrects for up to +/- 800 arc-second. Even with an additive 1 arc-minute tilt of the primary and grating, the EIS field still maintains complete coverage of the SOT field of view and is still well centered within the XRT field of view.

14 FAIRING ACCESS REQUIREMENTS FOR CLAMSHELL

14.1 General

The EIS clamshell (CLM) is a vacuum compartment that protects the EIS entrance filter from harmful environmental conditions (acoustics, contamination, debris, humidity, air gusts, etc.) before and during Solar-B launch. The filter is a very large thin aluminum filter and as such is quite fragile, an inadvertent touch or rush of air will almost certainly destroy it. The only safe way to launch such items is under a vacuum of <~1 torr. The CLM is a special chamber for this purpose, and has two doors that open when the instrument reaches orbit. It will remain under vacuum from the time of EIS integration until safely deployed in orbit.

14.2 Vacuum Requirement

The CLM is constructed to high vacuum standards and should be evacuable to less than 0.001 Torr. Use of vacuum greases and lubricants are avoided and organic materials are minimized. It is expected that the chamber can maintain a vacuum of < 1 torr for up to 21 days. In all such vacuum systems without active pumping, a gradual rise in pressure is expected with time due to outgassing of material from internal surfaces, diffusion of gas through seals, virtual leaks and real (but tiny) leaks. This means that the CLM will need to be reattached to a pumping station periodically. Repumping should be done whenever the pressure in the CLM approaches 1 torr. The frequency of this operation must be determined during the commissioning of the CLM by plotting the pressure versus time. Careful cleaning vacuum baking and leak testing will be done to obtain the longest possible interval between pumping operations.
A portable GSE pumping station has been designed to safely perform this operation with the flight filters installed in the CLM. It can perform both evacuation and backfilling operations and will follow the CLM throughout the EIS development program and launch cycle. It is necessarily very slow in pumping and backfilling since the filters would not survive any rush of air into or out of the CLM. The pump connects to the CLM seal-off valve by a long copper tube (flexible) and Swagelok connectors.
The seal-off valve is required to be an integral part of the CLM to avoid having long pieces of tubing become part of the CLM vacuum compartment. The CLM also provides a rugged support for the valve body.
One or more vacuum gauges will be integral to the CLM so the pressure can be monitored during the launch cycle. It is possible that one gauge might be read by the MHC so the pressure could be found in the telemetry whenever EIS is interrogated. A main vacuum gauge will be required that reads out into an EGSE monitor. A [TBD] connector will be provided for this purpose. Also integral to the CLM are a Photodiode and LED pair that allow checking the filter for light tightness. Their EGSE unit can probably be combined with the vacuum gauge EGSE.


14.3 Fairing Access

Using Astro-E as a model, fairing close-out is expected to occur on the order of 12 days prior to launch. While this is less than the expected 21-day hold time of the CLM, we must be prepared for situations where the hold time is exceeded. Removing the fairing is much too difficult to contemplate, but a hatch could provide the needed access to re-pump the CLM through the fairing. The hatch opening would need to be on the order of 200 mm in diameter to permit manual connection of the vacuum hose and operation of the seal-off valve.
The access hatch cover should be left open until 3 days before launch to allow continuous pressure monitoring via the EGSE cable. A data logging pressure monitor will be provided. A temporary hatch cover that passes the cable can be used to protect the S/C. For reliable pressure measurements, the same gauge, cable, and monitor should be used at all times.

14.4 Access Hatch Location

The CLM is presently located at Z=+2334mm relative to the origin of the S/C coordinate system. It has been suggested that the CLM seal-off valve be located on the +Y facing surface of EIS at X=~105. In this case, the center of the hatch should be at X=105, Y=~1100, Z= 2334 (S/C coordinates) in the fairing skin. At this point there should be about 250mm clearance between the EIS +Y panel and the fairing, an easy reach for an operator’s hand. If necessary, small “finger wrenches” can be used in tight places. These can be tied to the operator’s hand to prevent their being lost in the fairing.

14.5 Expected Launch Pad Operations

There should be near continuous monitoring of the CLM pressure from the time of the last pumpdown until three days (or less) prior to launch. The CLM pressure will be plotted as a function of time and extrapolated to the end of the launch window. Should the pressure be predicted to rise above a predetermined limit, it will be necessary to re-pump the CLM.
This decision should be made [TBD] days before scheduled launch to avoid last-minute chaos. A final pumpdown within a week of the expected launch window should suffice in any case. The launch preparation plan should include a critical decision point where a pump/no pump decision is made that allows the pumping work to be carried out with the minimum disruption of the rocket preparations.
The pumping process will require bringing the GSE pumping station to the rocket building, removing the hatch cover, connecting a vacuum hose, evacuating the hose, verifying vacuum hose integrity, opening the CLM valve and pumping until the desired pressure [TBD] is reached. The process is reversed at the end. The pumping time depends on the size and length of the hose and can be baselined during CLM development. Estimated working time should be about two hours to start and two hours to close out after reaching the required pressure. The CLM pressure should be monitored as long as possible after valve closure to verify that a proper seal has been obtained. Two experienced vacuum operators should be on hand to conduct this operation safely.


15 NITROGEN PURGE

During integration and testing of the flight model with the spacecraft, the EIS instrument will be required to be purged with clean, dry nitrogen gas (specification TBC). This will be a common requirement with the other instruments. Consideration should be given to a common supply with a combined purge manifold for the instruments.
