Commissioning Phase (10th March - 21st April 2018, Ls = 148-152)

Engineering Activities (10th - 15th March 2018)

A full patch of all 13 COP tables, optimised for the science phase

We propose a software patching slot of duration 1 day, to be scheduled as early as possible

After the patch, SINBAD should remain switched on for 12 hours (all channels off) to approach thermal equilibrium

Then to verify the patch, an extended functional check should be run with sufficient time allowed for NOMAD to return to the baseline temperature e.g.

FT#1: UVIS on for 30 minutes (UVIS SCI=112)

All channels off for 30 minutes

FT#2: SO on for 30 minutes (SO FIXED=0, SCI1=2557, SCI2=2557)

All channels off for 1 hour

FT#3: LNO on for 30 minutes (LNO FIXED=1, SCI1=2398, SCI2=2398)

All channels off for 1 hour

FT#4: SO+UVIS on for 30 minutes (SO FIXED=0, SCI1=2557, SCI2=2557; UVIS SCI=343)

All channels off for 1 hour

FT#5: LNO+UVIS on for 30 minutes (LNO FIXED=1, SCI1=2398, SCI2=2398; UVIS SCI=112)

All channels off for 1 hour

FT#6: SINBAD+UVIS thermal baseline for up to 18 hours (UVIS SCI=112)

FT#7: LNO flip mirror occultation-nadir-occultation position

Nadir-Only Observations (24th March - 21st April)

Thermal constraint determination

Nadir testing and science

NOMAD will test a wide range of nadir order combinations, checking best diffraction orders for each molecule

Measurements will be made conservatively, with off-periods between each, to avoid potential overheating

A range of thermal observation rules will be tested, therefore instrument temperature will fluctuate
