Earth Observing System (EOS) Advanced Microwave Sounding Unit-A (AMSU-A): Instrumentation interface control document

This Interface Control Document (ICD) defines the specific details of the complete accomodation information between the Earth Observing System (EOS) PM Spacecraft and the Advanced Microwave Sounding Unit (AMSU-A)Instrument. This is the first submittal of the ICN: it will be updated periodically throughout the life of the program. The next update is planned prior to Critical Design Review (CDR).

Earth Observing System (EOS)/Advanced Microwave Sounding Unit-A (AMSU-A)

This is the thirty-first monthly report for the Earth Observing System (EOS)/Advanced Microwave Sounding Unit- A (AMSU-A), Contract NAS5-32314, and covers the period from 1 July 1995 through 31 July 1995. This period is the nineteenth month of the Implementation Phase which provides for the design, fabrication, assembly, and test of the first EOS/AMSU-A, the Protoflight Model. Included in this report is the Master Program Schedule (Section 2), a report from the Product Team Leaders on the status of all major program elements (Section 3), Drawing status (Section 4), Weight and Power Budgets (CDRL) 503 (Section 5), Performance Assurance (CDRL 204) (Section 6), Configuration Management Status Report (CDRL 203) (Section 7), Documentation/Data Management Status Report (Section 8), and Contract Status (Section 9).

Meteorological Satellites (METSAT) and Earth Observing System (EOS) Advanced Microwave Sounding Unit-A (AMSU-A) Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA) and Critical Items List (CIL)

This Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA) is for the Advanced Microwave Sounding Unit-A (AMSU-A) instruments that are being designed and manufactured for the Meteorological Satellites Project (METSAT) and the Earth Observing System (EOS) integrated programs. The FMEA analyzes the design of the METSAT and EOS instruments as they currently exist. This FMEA is intended to identify METSAT and EOS failure modes and their effect on spacecraft-instrument and instrument-component interfaces. The prime objective of this FMEA is to identify potential catastrophic and critical failures so that susceptibility to the failures and their effects can be eliminated from the METSAT/EOS instruments.

Integrated Advanced Microwave Sounding Unit-A(AMSU-A). Performance Verification Report, METSAT Phase Locked Oscillator Assembly, P/N 1348360-1, S/N's F07 and F08

Two Flight Model AMSU-A Phase Locked Oscillators (PIN 1348360-1, S/N F07 and F08) have been tested per AES Test Procedure AE-26758 Rev. B, which include full functional testing, vibration testing, thermal testing, and AM/FM Noise testing. Both assemblies satisfactorily passed all performance requirements of the AE-26633 Product Specification. During the thermal cycling of both units, spurs developed 1 MHz from the carrier when the units were cold, and TARs were written to document the anomaly. The symptoms observed in both cases were consistent with inadequate tuning. The units were successfully re-tuned. In the case of F08, re-tuning required a design change which allowed a greater range of possible values for tuning resisters. Both units completed thermal cycling without further delay. The results of the required tests are presented in the following section as test data. As indicated on the test data sheets, all measured data passed all requirements.
