Requirement Flow

• There are no orphaned requirements. Each requirement is applicable to only one mission system.

• Each MRD can be traced back to a Measurement Need in the Science Objectives and User Needs Document. In a lot of cases (particularly with the requirements on the instrument systems) we have had to use PCW information as well. For example,

TraceabilityFor each MRD, we have included the Measurement/Data Need that it is derived from, the section of CDRL SC1 that discusses the topic, the Mission Objective that the MRD is applicable to, and the mission component to which applies.

12

• There are 10 MRDs that are not derivable from the Science Objectives and User Needs Document. – ALL of these relate to extended imaging duration, data distribution,

resource allocation, or product assurance requirements – none of which are discussed in CDRL SC1.

– Data distribution requirements are expected to evolve as the mission progresses, but we have included our intentions in the current MRD.

– We are still investigating the conjugate imaging possibilities.... Since the orbit space is wide open, there are a lot of options.

Spatial Coverage

PCW-UVI Area of Interest (AoI)

The S/C pointing and orbit are the largest factor in attaining this.

17

Spatial CoverageThe orbit space for PCW is wide open...

We assumed that apogee would be maintained at a constant altitude over the Yellowknife meridian and that both S/C are in the same orbital plane.

Spatial and Temporal Resolution

MRD20. Image frames shall be acquired by UVI-IS at a minimum frequency of 0.05Hz (20 s images).

MRD21. Image frames may be acquired at integration times from 1s to 60s. The nominal maximum integration time will be 19s, however the additional 41 s shall provide for margin.

MRD22. Image frames shall be acquired with a minimum ground sampling distance of 40 km at nadir (target of 30 km).

MRD23. If sub-exposure (sub-images) are utilized it shall be possible to acquire sub-images with an integration time from 0.1 s to 60 s. The nominal sub-image integration time may be 0.1 s to provide maximum performance, however with reduced performance the instrument shall be able to acquire a sub-image with an integration time up to 60s. This provides margin to reduce or remove the use of subframes for image acquisition.

MRD26.1. The full width half maximum wavelength for LBH-S channel shall be 140 nm (+/- 2 nm) to 160 nm (+/- 2 nm)
