SRR Objectives
 Confirm that mission-level and observatory
requirements meet the project objectives
 Confirm observatory-level specifications are
sufficient to meet the project objectives
 Validate that the mission architecture concept
can support the functional, operational,
interface and performance requirements
 Show that the requirements have been flowed
down and are understood at the next level.

JWST Science Requirements
(John Mather presenting)
 Four themes:
•
•
•
•
First Light
Assembly of Galaxies
Birth of Star and Planetary Systems
Planetary Systems and the Origins of Life
 Level 1 Mission Success Criteria:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Density of galaxies
Spectra of galaxies
Physical and Chemical properties of young stellar objects
Observing time---5 yr mission, 1.1e9 s on target
Telescope > 25 m2
Strehl ratio > 0.8 at 2 m
Encircled energy > 0.74 within 0.15 arc sec at 1 m, stable for > 24 hrs.
Thermal environment zodi limited 0.6 -- 10 m
 Example of how Level 1 requirements flow down: 1st-light objects are rare
(<1 arcmin-2) ==> large, unvignetted FOV with low distortion.

TIPS/JIM
Requirement Changes Since
the Delta-MDR
 Redesigned sun shield---smaller, better
clearances, simpler deployment – but, it could
make mission planning more difficult.
 Upgrade the power system to accommodate
ISIM power needs.

TIPS/JIM
Requirements Still in Work
 Moving targets. Quantitative requirements are TBD,
depending on cost.
 Sensitivity. New numbers developed, but CCB on hold
pending NGST replan contract change.
 Mass allocations are TBD pending resolution of the ISIM
Electronics Compartment (IEC) study.
 Ariane 5 change not yet flowed down (no expected impact).
 FOV offsets not yet flowed done (no expected impact).
 Reliability. Recent MRD change says goal is 92% for
Spacecraft+OTE. Goal for whole observatory is pending.
 OTE to ISIM structural interface definition.
 X vs. Ka-band study. [Should finish soon in favor of Ka.]

TIPS/JIM
Key Issues
 Concept for locating ISIM electronics in Region 2 is not viable.
• FPEs must be within 6m of focal planes, in Region 2
• Adding ICE boxes advantageous
• "Saddle-bag" configuration won't work. (Too massive; thermal
problems.) Further work underway. (IEC trade study. Will take FPE
rqmnts into account.)
 Mass Allocations
• Current mass reserves are at 21%. Would like to be at 25%. Biggest
problem areas are the IEC accommodation, and the sun shield
containment system.
• Spacecraft is 250 kg over its allocation
• OTE is 405 kg over its allocation
• MIRI dewar is 20 kg over its allocation; NIRCam is 7 kg too heavy.

SRR Summary Results
 The board thought that the review was excellent.
 ~60 Requests for Action (RFAs) generated.
 Major issues in the RFAs:
• Request for an Observatory-level TV test.
• Request for deployment tests in TV.
• Desire to make several of the Mission/Obs rqmnts less
vague and more verifiable (e.g., those related to eventdrive ops).
• Need to do a better flow down of the efficiency rqmnt and
tie it in to data quality and reliability in a more
comprehensive way.
• Fault handling requires more development.

Micro-Shutter Array (MSA)
Confirmation Review
 Held 12/18/03 at GSFC to assess whether the MEMS microshutter array should be the slit-defining mechanism for
NIRSpec.
 Successes:
• Fabricated 128 x 64 arrays (flight will be 384 x 175)
• Demonstrated 2-D addressing
• Implemented light shields
• Performed cryogenic life tests
• Measured pixel failure rate at end-of-life
• Measured open/closed shutter contrast ratio [2,00010,000 warm; ~200 cold (due to shutter curvature)]
• Performed an acoustic test

Confirmation Review
 Concerns:
•
•
•
•
Yield is still low
Light shields frequently break off
Shutters curve and bend when cooled
Life testing does not meet <10% of rows with a failedopen shutter
• Crude acoustic/shake tests increase rate of failed-opens
 Further development needed, but optimism prevails.
 The MSA remains the preferred approach, and the European
selection is proceeding on this basis.
