Additional notes (a) Update Information : If this corresponds to an update since the last delivery, explain what the updates consist of e.g. 2 more AORs added. (b) Instructions for the Mission Planners A list with all the solar system objects that are going to be observed. This will include specification of the constraints (if any) that has to be modified in the MPS properties file. Hygiea, Vesta, Neptune Note, the durations of both REDY-STBY scripts change with this MC. All the usual instructions about the min time for using the spectrometer etc are valid as per the scheduling guidelines. All of the observations for a sub instrument should be scheduled together in the blocks given below. Observations blocks can be scheduled anywhere in the OD except where specified otherwise below. In addition, please schedule the following observations according to the following instructions 1) 7-pt jiggle observations - final tests before release of the AOT, they use the new BSM settings as found from the BSM tuning tests. We observe several targets to examine the range suitable for this mode (a faint, intermediate and bright source). The observations are separated into pairs to examine the APE effect. Small maps are also performed as references to compare to. Only the one for the source 0851+202 is an additional observation, the others are required for other reasons anyway. Also covered here are test observations of a high resolution mode for point and compact sources (aor label format SpirePhotoSmallScanGen--highres). The observations are done on the same sources as the 7-pt jiggle tests in order to have a direct comparison between the two modes. Because of the variablity of some of the sources it is important to perform these observations at the time of the other ones. Set one - on 0851+202, should all be observed in a row as follows on OD 341: SPhoto-SmallRep4-0851+202 SPhoto-Point-Rep4-0851+202 SPhoto-Point-Rep4-0851+202-0001 SpirePhotoSmallScanGen-0851+202-highres Set two - on Hygiea, should all be observed in a row as follows on OD 341: SPhoto-Large-Rep4-8x8-Hygiea (Rcal plan observation) SPhoto-SmallRep4-Hygiea (note this observation is also part cross calibration with Planck) SPhoto-Point-Rep4-Hygiea SPhoto-Point-Rep4-Hygiea-0001 SpirePhotoSmallScanGen-Hygiea-highres Set three - on Gamma Dra, should all be observed in a row as follows on OD 341: SPhoto-Point-Rep4-GammaDra also a routine calibration observations doubling up as also 7-pt jiggle tests) SPhoto-SmallRep4-GammaDra (also a routine calibration observations doubling up as also 7-pt jiggle tests) SPhoto-Large-Rep4-8x8-GammaDra (RCAL obs only - do on OD 341/2 with other gamma dra obs) SPhoto-Point-Rep4-GammaDra-0001 SpirePhotoSmallScanGen-GammaDra-highres Some covered by rcal plan, 1 will be covered by cross-cal plan, others - see above for justification. 2) The following observations must be scheduled in Ods 341, or in OD342 if sub-instrument isn't used on OD 341 (to get the Pcal Flash with the observation). The SpireSpectro_CalGCO_FovMapFpgScan-short-fine-scan+Z should be done and then the SpireSpectroPcalFlashGen for the same source. The sources can be done at different times in the OD. gyro propagation is low prority to have for this observation ONLY in the case that there time for the 1 hour stable attitude that would not otherwise get used for science observations should the 1 hour stable pointing be put in. SpireSpectro_CalGCO_FovMapFpgScan-short-fine-scan+Z-1921-293 SpireSpectroPcalFlashGen-1921-293 SpireSpectro_CalGCO_FovMapFpgScan-short-fine-scan+Z-0851+202 SpireSpectroPcalFlashGen-0851+202 SpireSpectro_CalGCO_FovMapFpgScan-short-fine-scan+Z-0454-463 SpireSpectroPcalFlashGen-0454-463 SpireSpectro_CalGCO_FovMapFpgScan-short-fine-scan+Z-0537-441 SpireSpectroPcalFlashGen-0537-441 SpireSpectro_CalGCO_FovMapFpgScan-short-fine-scan+Z-8C0716+714 SpireSpectroPcalFlashGen-8C0716+714 After the problems reported with SIAM_0320_0002 we selected this time a set of 5 pointing sources to get at least a small statistical sample of pointing measurements. This is in case PACS will not find out why we see a residual pointing offset in OD326. This way we would be able to confirm our OD326/327 results on two sources and possibly shift our SIAM independently. 3) The following observations must be scheduled in Ods 341, or in OD342 if sub-instrument isn't used on OD 341. The sources are independent - can be done at any time compared to the others in this section, as long as in the relevant ODs gyro propagation is low prority to have for this observation ONLY in the case that there time for the 1 hour stable attitude that would not otherwise get used for science observations should the 1 hour stable pointing be put in. SpirePhotoLargeScanGen-short-fine-scanY-1921-293 SpirePhotoLargeScanGen-short-fine-scanY-0851+202 SpirePhotoLargeScanGen-short-fine-scanY-0454-463 SpirePhotoLargeScanGen-short-fine-scanY-0537-441 SpirePhotoLargeScanGen-short-fine-scanY-8C0716+714 After the problems reported with SIAM_0320_0002 we selected this time a set of 5 pointing sources to get at least a small statistical sample of pointing measurements. This is in case PACS will not find out why we see a residual pointing offset in OD326. This way we would be able to confirm our OD326/327 results on two sources and possibly shift our SIAM independently. 4) The following observations are good to be scheduled together in OD341/342 (i.e. a nice to have - if they aren't scheduled together they each need a PCAL flash observation) SpireSpectro_Cal_StdLoadCurveGen-DarkSky-0001 SpireSpectroPcalFlashGen-0002 Covered by Rcal Plan sections 4.2.1 Detector load curves 4.2.2 Phase Ups 5) Spec AOT work - checking the detector offset settings at every jiggle position Od341/342 SSpec-LR-Intermediate-Rep2-DR21-Bright SpireSpectroPoint-LR-intermedRep2-DR21-Bri-highBias SpireSpectroPoint-LR-interRep4-DarkSky-Bri-highBias SSpec-LR-Intermediate-Rep4-DarkSky-Bright Not covered by cal plans. 6) The following observations should be scheduled together OD341/342 (i.e. a nice to have - if they aren't scheduled together they each need a PCAL flash observation) SpirePhoto_Cal_StdLoadCurveGen-DarkSky-PSW-E6-0001 SpirePhotoPcalFlashGen-0001 Covered by Rcal Plan sections 4.2.1 Detector load curves 7) The following observations should be scheduled together around OD349 (i.e. a nice to have - if they aren't scheduled together they each need a PCAL flash observation) SpirePhoto_Cal_PhaseUpCosine-nomBias SpirePhoto_Cal_StdLoadCurveGen-DarkSky-PSW-E6 SpirePhotoPcalFlashGen-0000 SpirePhoto_Cal_LoadCurvePcalOnGen-DarkSky-PSW-E6 (low priority to put at the end of the use of PHOT/end of OD) Covered by Rcal Plan sections 4.2.1 Detector load curves 4.2.2 Phase Ups 8) Current Planck crossing on OD352 (30 April) for Vesta.
