Instrument thermal control and stability
•Radiant cooler degrades
•no active thermal control
•Temperature follows ELU power consumption

•OMI has never been switched off over 10 years
•Near-perfect detector temperature control
•PWM margin can last until end of mission

• Detector degradation mainly occurs in SAA and polar belts
• Degradation on individual pixel level
• Caused by CCD bulk radiation damage by protons
• Shows increased darkcurrent
• Shows increased RTS

CCD pixel quality statistics (unbinned)
Reduced performance Unusable pixels
• Operational CCD temperature were lowered• Detector shielding increased with 8 kg aluminum• Daily updates of background images to correct increased darkcurrent• Automatic updates of pixel quality maps• After 10 years 0.8 % is unusable (dead)• After 10 years 2.0 % has reduced performance (bad)

ELU gain ratios - UV
•Video chain gain switchable inflight
•4 discrete gains available
•Monitored using DLED and WLS
•Stability much better than 0.2%

CCD LED monitoring (excludes spectrometer)
•degradation higher than irradiance -> not Quantum Efficiency effect
•Led voltage stable
•LED radiation damage / aging
KNMI, de Bilt, 11 march 201418th OMI science team meeting12
WLS monitoring (includes spectrometer)
•WLS voltage increasing
•Current source
•Power steadily increasing
•Tungsten filament ‘necking’
•Close to filament burn-out?
•Current source �voltage source

Irradiance monitoring•QVD � daily
•ALU1 � weekly
•ALU2 � monthly
•Degradation includes D1 * FM * M2 * S * E
•Exposure based degradation
•Backup ALU does not degrade
•Degradation may include electronic effects

OMI calibration status conclusion
•Very low contamination levels in OMI result in record low degradation
•No measurable degradation of aluminum diffusers
•Very low degradation of novel Quartz Volume Diffuser
•Not possible to uniquely identify the degrading component
•Detector radiation damage monitored
•TMCF/TDOPF software solution for inflight calibration
•Daily updates for dark current
•Daily updates for bad and dead pixels
•Spectral stability very good
