  1. Gamma-ray Large Area Space Telescope Project Overview GLAST Large Area Telescope: LAT Pre-Shipment Review W Neil JohnsonNaval Research Lab LAT Dpty PI for Instrument/Observatory Operations neil.johnson@nrl.navy.mil(202) 767-6817

  2. e– e+ Instrument Design: 4x4 modular array LAT measures direction and energy of incoming gamma rays Si Tracker pitch = 228 µm 880,000 channels 18 X-Y layers of silicon w/ tungsten foil converters (12 layers × 2.8% X0 + 4 layers × 19% X0 + 2 layers) Anti-Coincidence Detector Segmented scintillator tiles 0.9997 efficiency Mechanical Sys. (inc. Grid & Thermal Radiators) CsI Calorimeter Hodoscopic array 8.4 X0 8 × 12 bars of CsI 2.0 × 2.7 × 32.6 cm 3000 kg, 650 W (allocation) 1.75 m  1.75 m  1.0 m 20 MeV – 300 GeV Electronics, Data Acquisition, & Flight Software

  3. LAT Status • LAT has completed its environmental test program • Currently being loaded into transport container for delivery to General Dynamics C4 – SASS. • No major failures or environmental susceptibilities were discovered. • No significant performance changes throughout the program • Performance over temperature is stable • LAT requirement verification sell off is in progress • 459 Requirements • 72% (329) verification reports submitted to mission office • 48% (219) reports accepted • LAT End Item Data Package (EIDP) is in progress

  7. Issues / Liens to Delivery • Current LAT Flight Software does not meet all 183 requirements • LAT environmental testing performed with FSW B0.6.9 • Demonstrated 149 / 183 requirements • Over 1100 hrs of run time w/ B0.6.9 (over 1600 total hours) • Over 800 million events (mainly cosmic muons) processed. • Missing final event filters, data compression, GRB support • FSW B0.7.0 installation planned post ship to SASS • 173 / 183 requirements (all but on board GRB detection algorithm) • FQT of these 173 requirements has been completed on LAT test bed at SLAC. • FSW B1.0.0 installation prior to Observatory test. • 183 / 183 requirements • Unexpected reboots of LAT flight computers (SIU / EPU) • Observed 7 reboots in ~ 1600 hours of operations (3 CPUs operating at all times) • Probable root cause on about half indicate EGSE source • 1 hardware error – transient uncorrectable memory error • At least 2 (during TVAC) can not be explained by EGSE - watchdog

  9. LAT on Test StandReturn from Sine Vibe

  10. Radiators Installed and Micrometeoroid shield exposed Prior to MLI blanket installation – exposed micrometeoroid shield

  11. Installing the MLI Blankets Final LAT dressing – 2 tone MLI blankets Now, 102 uses for duct tape (actually Ge coated Kapton outer ACD MLI blanket)

  12. Prep for TVAC Need to rotate from +Z vertical orientation to+X vertical orientation VCHP need to be horizontal to operate w/ gravity for TVAC

  13. Thermal Test Equipment Sink plates w/ heaters simulate solar load on ACD and other components

  14. Move to TVAC CALROD cages (toaster elements) simulate heat loads on radiators Trolley interfaces w/ rail system in TVAC chamber

  15. LAT on Shipping Container Base Ready to Ship!
