1.0 Introduction and Scientific Objectives We propose to investigate ion outflows between 200 and 1400 km altitude in the polar cusp with a sounding rocket experiment, the EISCAT Svalbard radars (ESR), and the EISCAT Troms radars to understand the transition of ion outflows from the F region to the topside ionosphere. The proposed launch site is the Andya Rocket Range, Norway. The ESR and the EISCAT radars at Troms will be used to monitor ion flows under the rocket apogee for comparison with the sounding rocket data and to determine the launch conditions. The SCIFER-2 (Sounding of the Cusp Ion Fountain Energization Region-2) sounding rocket will measure ion drifts and distribution functions, electron temperature and density, electron and ion precipitation, convection electric fields, magnetic fields from which FAC can be inferred, and plasma waves (from which Ne is inferred). The objectives of the experiment are to determine the physical mechanisms responsible for the ionospheric outflow, the source of free energy for the outflows, and to investigate the chain of processes leading to ion outflows observed by satellites at higher altitudes in the cusp. Understanding the mass contribution of the ionosphere to the magnetosphere is a critical component of understanding ionosphere-magnetosphere coupling. The payload is a modification of the original SCIFER payload, has no sub-payloads or ACS, and has a single 6.4 Mb/s PCM telemetry system. This sounding rocket project requires a Black Brant XII vehicle with a lightweight payload. The original SCIFER payload was 254 lbs for all equipment forward of the Nihka motor, including the igniter despin unit. In comparison the SCIFER-2 design removes the large and heavy ion mass spectrometer from SCIFER but adds one fold down boom containing a magnetometer, and one top hat thermal ion analyzer. In addition the TECHS instrument is replaced with two retarding electron potential analyzers (ERPA). The launch site is the Andya Rocket Range (ARR) and the launch operations will be similar to SCIFER so that tracking can be performed from Troms or Svalbard in addition to ARR. The Principal Investigator of the SCIFER-2 campaign will be situated at the Longyearbyen science station on Svalbard, which is where the SCIFER-2 payload will reach apogee, and he will use real-time measurements to determine the time of launch for the sounding rocket. The collaborators for this experiment are the Principal Investigator, Paul Kintner (Cornell U.), who is responsible for the electric field, magnetic field and plasma wave measurements; CoInvestigator Kristina Lynch (Dartmouth), who is responsible for the ion and electron particle measurements; Co-Investigator Marc Lessard (UNH), who is responsible for the thermal electron measurements; Collaborator Jran Moen (University of Oslo), who is responsible for the EISCAT measurements; Collaborator Mark Lester (U. of Leicester), who is responsible for the CUTLASS radar collaboration; Collaborator Fred Sigernes (U. Courses on Svalbard), who is responsible for coordinating optical and other ground-based instrumentation near ESR; and Collaborator P.-E. Sandholt (U. of Oslo), who is responsible for optical instrumentation at Nylesund.

5.0 Mechanical Systems Please refer to figure 1 for the following discussion. The payload consists of a forward experiment section, a telemetry section, and a standard igniter housing (for yo-yo despin and Nihka ignition). The Nihka motor will remain attached to the payload for the entire mission.

5.1 Openings and Doors The entire nose cone should be ejected to expose the booms systems and particle detectors. The nose cone should push off of the top of the experiment section. A FEOS/LEO system should be used to eject the nose cone and extension prior to Nihka ignition, in order to maximize apogee. 5.2 Booms -- Antennas There will be a total of seven deployable elements on the payload consisting of two 3 meter STACER booms (arranged as one pair, 6 meters tip-to-tip), three 1 meter booms supporting the science magnetometer, UNH ERPA particle detector, and Cornell HF electric field sensors, and a pair of short booms (approximately 8 inches long) supporting the Dartmouth HEEPS and BEEPS particle detectors. The three 1 meter booms will utilize a viscous damped hinge to reduce the shock of deployment to the end mounted sensors. Cornell will supply the dampers along with the 1 meter booms. However, a release mechanism for these three booms is required and needs to be provided by NSROC. The use of a rotating "spider" mechanism that has flown successfully on several previous payloads is suggested. The two short booms (HEEPS, BEEPS) have self contained deployment mechanisms. The two detector arms should be deployed simultaneously to maintain dynamic balance. 6.0 Instrumentation & Telemetry 6.1 Power Required

Cornell U. expt.: +18V @ 1.2A, -18V @ 0.75A Dartmouth expt.: +28V @ 380 mA UNH expt.: +28V @ 250 mA
Each experiment should have independent control of power-on and power-off for the purpose of trouble shooting and interference testing. The Dartmouth and UNH experiments may share a single +28V battery pack. We require separate battery charging circuits for the +18V and -18V battery packs because we anticipate that the power consumption of the +18V battery will be substantially higher than the -18V power consumption.

6.2 Telemetry Required A PCM system with bit rate of approximately 6.4 Mb/s is required to telemetry the data from the Cornell, Dartmouth, and UNH experiments. The approximate telemetry allocation is shown below.

E-Field, B-Field, Plasma Waves (Cornell): Particle instrumentation (Dartmouth): Particle instrumentation (UNH): GPS Attitude Determination (Cornell): Housekeeping, Vehicle Systems, & Sync: TOTAL

2.7 Mb/s 1.6 Mb/s 0.3 Mb/s 0.7 Mb/s 1.1 Mb/s 6.4 Mb/s

6.3 Monitors The experimenters will provide boom position monitors for the seven deployable booms. A mixture of micro-switches and potentiometers will be employed. Micro-switches will be provided for the STACER1 and STACER2 booms. Potentiometers (10K ) will be provided for the three 1-meter booms (MAG, ERPA, HF). Dartmouth will supply potentiometers (5K or 50K ) for the HEEPS and BEEPS booms. All seven of these boom position monitors (microswitches and potentiometers) must be biased and sampled by the PCM telemetry system. 6.4 Pyro / Squib Circuits The rotating "spider" release mechanism for the three 1 meter booms should be designed to use a pin puller type IMT 18CC (228-50000) supplied by NSROC. The release mechanism for the HEEPS and BEEPS detectors uses two of the IMT 18CC pin pullers supplied by NSROC. The two 3 meter STACER booms uses two IMT 18CC pin pullers supplied by the boom manufacturer. 7.0 Times and Altitudes of All Experiment Related Events The general timing requirements for experiment related events are shown in their relative order in the list below. Requirement/Comment Nose cone eject Nihka burnout Yo-Yo despin to 0.83 Hz HEEPS/BEEPS deploy STACER 6 m boom deploy Substantially <1.15 Hz after all booms deploy for payload stability (3) 1 m booms deploy (MAG, ERPA, HF) Final roll rate 0.44 Hz (0.33-0.66 Hz) High voltage on (Dartmouth) >160 km High voltage on (UNH) >160 km Apogee >1200 km Impact

8.0 Aspect Sensors A 3-axis magnetometer, horizon sensor, and a solar aspect sensor are required for complete attitude determination. In addition, Cornell will supply a new GPS-based attitude determination system. This system consists of two patch antennas wired directly to the Cornell electronics box. One antenna is mounted on the spin axis at the top of the payload, as shown in figure 1. The other antenna is mounted on the MAG boom. The outputs of all 3 axes of the aspect magnetometer need to be sent to the Dartmouth experiment so that they may be used to control the deflectable aperture of the HEDF instrument. 9.0 Radar Beacon A radar beacon is not required by the experimenters, but can be included if required by the launch range. 10.0 Trajectory Data Absolute trajectory knowledge is required at the 500 meter level. This is easily satisfied by the NSROC supplied GPS receiver. 11.0 Outgassing Requirements, Magnetic Material Sensitivity, RFI Susceptibility The Dartmouth and UNH experiments are sensitive to payload outgassing and steps need to be taken to keep outgassing to a minimum. These steps include proper material selection (see NASA Reference Publication 1124) and payload cleanliness. Requirements for this payload are summarized below:

Machined parts should be thoroughly cleaned of all machining fluids and inks Paper stick-on labels are not acceptable. Acceptable materials include 3M Kapton tape (#92), DC340 heat sink compound,
no-wax lacing cord, GE RTV-11 potting compound, and Stycast 2850FT epoxy. Delrin, Teflon, and Lexan are also acceptable. Phenolic, PVC, and nylon materials should be avoided. Handling of the structure should be minimized to avoid greasy fingerprints. before installation.

The aspect magnetometer should be located as far as possible from the BEEPS instrument, since it contains permanent magnets. Magnetic materials should not be used in the vicinity of the HEEPS and BEEPS particle detectors, because magnetic fields from these materials could affect the path of the charged particles that these instruments are sensing. If any DC-DC converters are used they must operate above 20 KHz.

12.0 Vehicle Performance 12.1 Minimum Altitude

Apogee greater than or equal to 1325 km (comprehensive success). Apogee greater than or equal to 1200 km (minimum success).
12.2 Pointing Requirements No attitude control system is desired. 12.3 Coning Angle The payload must be dynamically stable, meaning:

The coning half-angle shall not exceed 45 degrees during the flight and the The angle between the payload spin axis and the magnetic field shall not
exceed 60 degrees. 12.4 Despin

ratio of the coning rate to the spin rate shall not exceed 0.1 during the flight.

A yo-yo despin is required prior to deployment of the seven booms. After all deployments, a final spin rate of substantially less than 1.15 Hz (the STACER boom resonant frequency) is desired to ensure payload stability and achieve the scientific objectives. The Nihka motor will remain attached to the payload for the entire flight. 13.0 Restrictions / Radioactive Sources None known. 14.0 Range Support

Ground based telemetry receiving system to support the 6.4 Mb/s transmission system
outgoing calls may be placed without operator intervention at the ARR switchboard. NSROC/NASA and/or ARR should arrange for the installation and activation of this line. Cornell University will be responsible for the telephone charges. This line will be used for telephone communications between ARR and Longyearbyen. The Principal Investigator will be located at the Longyearbyen science station on Svalbard and will inform the rocket range of the exact time of launch by telephone. Distribution of real time trajectory data and/or look angles for use by the groundbased imaging instruments at the Longyearbyen science station. Dry nitrogen purge of the payload during build-up and on the launcher is required. This minimizes the moisture absorption of the particle detectors. Once the nose cone is installed, the dry nitrogen purge is to be connected to the payload skin through a "fly-a-way" disconnect.

One phone line independent of the ARR central phone system, so that incoming and

with robust safety margins.

15.0 Launch Conditions / Constraints Andya Rocket Range January 2-15, 2008 5 hour period within 0300-1100 UT, nominally 0600-1100 UT (0700-1200 Local Time) Moon in last or first quarter or below the horizon at Longyearbyen. Solar depression angle greater than 10 degrees at Longyearbyen. The payload must be in sunlight to permit nominal functioning of the on-board solar aspect sensor during the prime data taking period (above 500 km altitude). Azimuth and launch angle chosen for apogee over Svalbard at 1000 km downrange this is northward. We desire the apogee point to be chosen such that the projection of the B-field vector at apogee down to 100 km altitude results in a point directly overhead Longyearbyen. If this is not possible, then the magnetic footprint of the trajectory should pass overhead Longyearbyen. It will be necessary to hold the count at T minus 2 minutes for up to 30 minutes at a time. Launch requires: An active cleft ionosphere with 5577 and 6300 light emissions overhead at either Longyearbyen or Ny-lesund. At least 20 nT of magnetometer activity at either Longyearbyen or Ny-lesund. Clear skies at either Longyearbyen or Ny-lesund such that either auroral TV or meridian scanning photometers provide data. EISCAT Svalbard Radar recording ion outflows and elevated electron temperatures. No fishing vessels in impact area.

16.0 Minimum Success Criteria

electric field receiver (0-3 MHz) functioning for 50% of the flight, and reception of data from functioning detectors for 50% of the flight, including the portion over Svalbard. The solar sensor provides nominal attitude data for the above specified period. Functioning science magnetometer. The payload must be dynamically stable, meaning: The coning half-angle shall not exceed 45 degrees during the flight and the ratio of the coning rate to the spin rate shall not exceed 0.1 during the flight. The angle between the payload spin axis and the magnetic field shall not exceed 60 degrees. 17.0 Comprehensive Mission Success Criteria

In addition to satisfying all items in the Minimum Success Criteria the following
additional criteria must be met:

General Notes:

1. The payload will have one PCM link with 8-bit words and a sub-frame rate of 8000 Hz. A 4.80 Mb/s PCM matrix with 75 words per subframe and 32 subframes is suggested. If this can not accommodate all of the data, then increase the matrix size by 5 words/subframe, keeping the subframe rate equal to 8000 Hz. Therefore, some possible matrix sizes are as follows: Subframe Rate Bit Rate PCM Matrix sSize 75 words by 32 subframes 8000 Hz 4.80 Mb/s 80 words by 32 subframes 8000 Hz 5.12 Mb/s 85 words by 32 subframes 8000 Hz 5.44 Mb/s 90 words by 32 subframes 8000 Hz 5.76 Mb/s 95 words by 32 subframes 8000 Hz 6.08 Mb/s 100 words by 32 subframes 8000 Hz 6.40 Mb/s 2. The telemetry requirements and layout are similar to the 40.021 sub-payload. For example, a three word major frame counter should be used. This permits each subframe to have a unique identier so that the experimenters may precisely account for any possible data dropouts. 3. Please specify to PSL that the WFF93 encoders must use RS422 line drivers and receivers where appropriate (Serial Data Module, all Major Frame, Minor Frame, Bit Clock signals, all other differential signals, etc). RS422 terminations should use 120 ohms in series with 0.001 F. The exception to this are the AUX outputs which are single ended +5V CMOS logic outputs.

1.

Safety Locking Devices To prevent accidental deployment the units are equipped with two safety-locking features: 1.1 Primarily intended for shipping purposes, a red safety plate is installed over the sensor mounting interfaces. This plate should be kept in place until the unit is ready for use. It must be removed for flight! 1.2 A stainless steel safety pin is inserted at the back end of the Stacer housing and is identified by a red tag. This safety pin engages the tip piece of the Stacer and prevents deployment. The safety pin should be kept in place at all times except for environmental testing and launch. The safety pin must be removed for flight! TO PREVENT DEPLOYMENT CAUSED BY ACCIDENTAL FIRING OF THE PIN PULLER THE SAFETY PIN MUST BE IN PLACE.

Pyro Shunting N/A.

3.

Mounting Refer to Interface Control Drawing 066-001 Rev B ICD to ascertain that the sensor and telescopic support section have adequate clearance for deployment.

4.

Spin Speed The mechanism will safely deploy at vehicle roll rates from 0 to 1.5 RPS.

5.

Deployment Time Full extension is completed in less than 6 seconds.

Deployment Switch Calibration See Appendix A of the Specification for a theoretical plot of distance as a function of number of clicks. There is also a plot for each boom of time vs. radial distance (as measured from the rocket centerline) and a plot for each boom of time vs. clicks collected during deployment. The minimum number of microswitch clicks for a full deployment is 51. Note that due to gear train inertia the wire spool oscillates back and forth a few times at the end of deployment, which can cause the click count to be up to55. If the number of clicks exceeds 51, the booms have deployed completely.

Sensor Removal/Installation The sensors are properly torqued as delivered. If removal is desired, remove #8 SHCS holding the shadow equalizer and outer sphere half using a 9/32 allen wrench (long end), and unscrew the inner sphere half by hand. To reinstall, screw on and hand snug the inner sphere half on to the tip piece sensor stub, and reinstall the outer sphere half and shadow equalizer using a 9/32 allen driver on a torque wrench and tighten to 8 in-lb.

13.

Boom Element Surface Preparation Exterior surfaces of boom elements are coated with molybdenum disulfide.

14.

Boom Element Connection The boom element is electrically connected to the mounting plate.

15.

Testing All units are tested at point of manufacture for proper deployment and electrical conductivity. Because of the special nature of the structural boom element, expert restoring of the mechanism after deployment testing is critical to proper functioning. Additional testing is not recommended. Therefore, any additional tests are the customers responsibility unless conducted by our personnel.

KDI warrants that this information is correct at the time of delivery. If there are questions or service requirements, please contact the manufacturer.

Mission Science Contact: Kevin Rhoads, Kristina Lynch

Electrical Engineering List of Instruments to be flown: Electron Detector (HEDF) Ion Detector (HM) Thermal Ion Detector (HT) Mass-resolving Thermal Ion Detector (Beeps) Two fold-down booms, one with Beeps&HM, one with HEDF &HT Electronics BoxA handles HEDF Electronics BoxB handles HM, HT, Beeps Voltage and current requirements for each instrument: Nominal voltage level for both Dartmouth electronics boxes: tolerable range: 28V 20V to 48V

Current levels will vary with operating conditions, particularly with supply voltage level and whether or not HV is on. Expected current levels for Box A: 130mA w/o HV 150mA with HV Box B: 160 to 180 mA w/o HV 195 to 230 mA w/HV. Instruments requiring power at lift-off or by timer function? High voltage on (HVON) command Minimum and maximum voltage required? Nominal 28 V can range down to 20V and up to 48V. Current limiting protection provided in the instrument? Internal power is derived from +28 by switching power supplies to generate +/-12V and +5V, and b the HVTO circuit to provide +28H to the HV generator circuits. The power bricks (Astrodyne ASD-05 series) provide regulation and limiting. The HVTO circuit has voltage and current regulation functionality. Are there power sharing issues? There are no external power sharing issues. Pulse Amp test should be supplied ONLY through umbilical 1

List of science booms (if any) and micro switch(s) monitor requirements. Two ~13-inch fold-down booms, each holding 2 detectors Potentiometer monitoring for each boom deploy monitoring; three Vishay Spectrol Model 157 potentiometers to be supplied, powered, and monitored by WFF (two flight, one prototype); to be mechanically integrated into boom system by Dartmouth. Handshake signal requirements for each instrument (major frame, etc.). Signals: Major frame, and gated clock for each serial word Matrix requirements System word length: Dartmouth serial digital data are 8 bit word lengths, but can be in longer bit length words. Interface circuitry generates load pulses from timing gaps between words in any SD channel. No Dartmouth serial digital channel can have adjacent words in the TM matrix. However, different Dartmouth SD channels can be adjacent to one another in the TM matrix. First Dartmouth serial digital word in the TM matrix after Major Frame should have at least 10 microSeconds between end of Major Frame and beginning of gated clock burst.
