Specific Request:
EMI/EMC acceptance testing needs to be performed on all flight boxes, not just the qualification
unit (which receives qualification level EMI/EMC testing). This needs to be included in the
verification plans.
Supporting Rational:
EMI/EMC workmanship problems could occur on the flight units and not be caught.
Response:
The current plan for EMI/EMC testing includes qualification unit testing of electronic boxes and
EMI/EMC testing of the fully assembled LAT prior to delivery to the GLAST project for
observatory integration. The LAT Performance Verification Plan shall be updated to include
EMI/EMC verification and acceptance testing. The updated LAT Performance Verification Plan
shall be shown in the LAT CDR.
It is recommended that this RFA remain open until the current LAT verification plan review is
completed and the full verification approach for the instrument is accepted.
