  1. Project Status

  2. Telling stories

  3. The Story • The Inheritance • Stellar seismology is recognized as a priority : Scientific Prospective Workshop (Deauville, 1985) • Study of the Sun • Ground observation • IPHIR (Phobos mission) • GOLF (Soho mission) • EVRIS (Mars-96) • The Birth • Scientific Prospective Workshop (Saint-Malo, 1993) • The Search for extra-solar planets did join the program • The Maturation  1993-1999 • Phases 0, A & B • The difficult starting 1999-2003 • COROT in the frame of the « Faster & Cheaper » scientific missions based on the PROTEUS bus (Jason-1, Calipso, Corot, Smos, Jason-2)

  4. A long story

  5. The PROTEUS Bus • PROTEUS is a multi-mission platform European standard • Qualified for all LEO missions • 500-600 kg satellite class, 1m3 volume (bus) • Typical payload envelope: 300kg, 300W • PROTEUS flight domain • Any orbit in the 700-1500 km range • Precise 3-axis attitude control • Compatible with available small-medium launchers • And an associated generic Ground Segment • PROTEUS stands for : «Plateforme Réutilisable pour l’Observation, les Télécommunications Et UtilisationsScientifiques»

  6. A long way – The Instrument 1995 - Phase 0 1997 - Phase A Sept 2004 – the Flight Model

  7. Organization Overview

  8. Cooperation • Cooperation is the main feature of the COROT organization • Cooperation makes the management more difficult, the relationship being based on « the best effort » of each party • Cooperation makes more technical interfaces to handle at system level • So, why looking for cooperation ? • Cooperation has been mandatory to re-start the program in 2000/2001 • Cooperation increases the ressources (more funds, more manpower) • Probably the most important, Cooperation makes the project stronger from the human being prospecpective • By very fruitful exchanges of engineering practices, ways of work and simply cultures • By giving to this mission an international dimension

  9. Brasil in Corot • Management • Steering Committee • Science • Scientific Committee • Co-Is • Ground Obsevation • Natal ground station (hardware & operations) • Researchers & Engineers (5) • Edouardo Costa, Claudia Angeli (at Meudon) • Leonardo Pinheiro (at Cnes-Toulouse, in-flight calibrations) • Fabio Fialho (at Meudon, working with M. Auvergne on windowings) • Vanderleï Parro( Meudon, Instrument-BEX electronics integration)

  10. The Present

  11. The Present • The project is a hive of activity • ~15 (successful) reviews within the last 10 months • The System and all components are under development • The System: The System Interfaces Review is coming • The Ground Segment : Mission Centre Design & Customization of the Proteus standard Control Centre • The Satellite : The Flight Model of the Proteus Bus is under integration • The Instrument : the Flight Model is under integration (EMI/EMC tests are starting) • The Launcher is ordered (Soyuz from Baïkonour) • Everything is on-time for a Launch at Baïkonour (Kazakhstan) planned during the Summertime of 2006 (June is targeting) • The funding is nominal

  13. The 2005 Milestones • Next Wintertime • Start of the final integration of the instrument in Toulouse • System Interfaces Review • Springtime • Satellite CDR • Preliminary Launcher Mission Analysis Review • Summertime • Acceptance tests of the Instrument • Earth Terminal (TTCET) delivery in Natal • Ground segment Integration • Start of System Compatibility tests • In the Fall • Delivery of the Instrument for Flight • Satellite Integration • System Validation

  14. Status in short • A strong acceleration of the project • The flight hardware is under manufacturing, integration & test • The System activities are on time • The Ground Segment and the preparation of the Operations are on time • The launcher is ordered • The COROT mission is in a good shape

  15. The Short in short • The working days are very long and by the same time very short • The COROT mission is still leading the race • The COROT project is vey happy to work with BRASIL • The life is beautiful (particularly in NATAL)
