Main Phase B1 Preparation Activities
Preparation B1 Kick-Off Data Package
 Establish an updated Specification Tree to define the interrelation
between the single PLATO P/L component specifications
 Basis for the traceability of single requirements and interface
management
 Definition of all required documents for the B1 Kick-Off
 Comparison with existing documentation to identify necessary
inputs
 Completion / annotation of existing specifications
 Utilization as applicable documents for the B1 work upon PDCR
Phase B1
• 1st P/L Meeting has been on 06./07.05.2014
– Bring P/L consortium together
– Start to resume P/L teams
• Phase B1 KO is scheduled for 16./17.07.2014
– Official Start of Phase B1
– All work packages are already defined
– Tasks to be done between KO and 2nd P/L Consortium
Meeting will be defined
• 2nd P/L Meeting proposed Fall 2014
– All specifications and belonging annotations/supplements
are available as basis for the B1 development work

Communication between TOU team and KT

List of all deliverables to be defined and finalised by 2nd P/L Meeting

PMs to be held at TOU site or by Webex. Required documents and Progress
Reports including status of AIs to be delivered at least five working days before
the meeting



brief discussion of working progress, identified problems, needed inputs
etc

the traceability of single requirements and interface management
Meeting when necessary with other Camera/Payload/PLATO teams by Webex
(organised by KT). For critical topics, like I/F discussions, face to face meeting
are preferable
Payload Camera Subsystem Status Summary:
Goals Phase B1
•
Goals Phase B1:
To achieve a sufficient level of
technical maturity to ensure
a successful SRR.
•
•
•
system requirements for the
selected architectures
successfully validated
•
•
•
system requirements derived
confidence on the readiness
levels of various technologies.
•
•
•
consolidating the requirements on system
and subsystem level and their traceability
consolidating internal interfaces, assessing
requirements for external interfaces
consolidating performance models
consolidating and defining operational
modes of the payload and its various
subsystems and components.
validating the set of system and subsystem
requirements
Establish a verification strategy consistent
with programmatic limitations and required
scientific value.
Develop technology maturation programs
in order to achieve the required TRL levels
at SRR
Telescope Optical Unit (TOU) Status Summary:
• Team?
Several Institutions (INAF, Univ. Bern, Stockolm Obs., Univ. Firenze) +
Industrial Partners (Selex , Medialario-Sagem, Seso, RUAG, APCO
Technologies) led by INAF (Interface to Camera team)
• Current Status?
– Optical Design + options available
– Breadboard/Prototypes: TOU AIV procedure already performed
(TOU Optical and Thermal Performance)
– Further Breadboard with AIV and thermal behavior identified
AIV procedures under development with serial production in mind
• Next Steps?
