4.3 Max-Planck-Intitut für Astronomie (Heidelberg)
The Max Planck Institute for Astronomy (MPIA) in Heidelberg is one of about 80 institutes of the
Max Planck Society. MPIA employs a staff of about 250 persons, including about 100 scientists and
engineers as well as 70 juniors and visiting scientists.
The Institute, completed in 1975, is dealing with the preparation and analysis of astronomical
observations in the optical and infrared wavelength regime and the development of new measuring
methods. From 1973 to 1984, it pursued together with Spanish authorities the establishment of the
German-Spanish Astronomical Center (DSAZ) on the Calar Alto Mountain near Almeria (Andalucia).
This largest observatory on the European continent is used by astronomers of both countries on equal
terms.
Two fields of scientific research are given priority at MPIA. One is the formation and evolution of
stars and planets in our cosmic neighbourhood. The second research focus at MPIA, galaxies and
cosmology, is on a better understanding of the evolution of the present-day structured universe with all
its galaxies and stars and how it developed from a simple initial state shortly after the big bang.
According to these two main research areas the MPIA is lead by two directors, Pr. Hans-Walter Rix
(Department Galaxies and Cosmology) and Pr. Thomas Henning (Planet and Star Formation).
The MPIA has a long tradition in development of telescope instrumentation. Besides the Calar Alto
Observatory, MPIA is currently involved in the already much advanced construction of the Large
Binocular Telescope (LBT) and its instrumental equipment (LUCIFER, the NIR Camera +
Spectrograph and LINC-NIRVANA, the NIR-Interferometric Camera).
In addition MPIA is contributing significantly in the instrumental equipment and use of the European
Very Large Telescope (VLT) and the Very Large Telescope Interferometer (VLTI) on Cerro Paranal in
Chile. Two instruments have been developed under its lead: CONICA (VLT) and MIDI (VLTI).
Moreover for several other projected instruments of the VLT(I) (PARSEC, MATISSE, GRAVITY,
SPHERE, PRIMA-DDL), MPIA is providing considerable contributions.
Also MPIA has been active in the field of extraterrestrial astronomical observations using satellites and
space probes: Instruments or instrument contributions for ISO, HERSCHEL and James Webb have
been built or are currently under development.
The Max Planck Institute for Astronomy (MPIA) in Heidelberg will be in charge of several activities
and sub-systems of MATISSE. It will have the responsibility of several tasks and will provide
personnel for several key positions in the organization:
- Co-Principal Investigation,
- Local Project Management,
- Cryostats,
- Electronics,
- Contribution to the Instrument Control Software sub-system,
- Contribution to the Instrument Group and to the Science Group,
- Contribution to the Detector sub-system.

In the field of interferometry, the Netherlands has a history going back to the 1960s, when the
Westerbork Synthesis Radio Telescope was designed. Originally all of the data reduction for the
WRST, which still functions, occurred in Leiden. This reduction has now been decentralized. Leiden is
now heavily involved in technical and scientific planning for the successor of the WSRT, known as
LOFAR (Low Frequency Array). In optica/IR interferometry, Leiden contributes heavily to the
planning and specifications of the Very Large Telescope Interferometer (VLTI) of the European
Southern Observatory at Cerro Paranal, Chile, and through the NOVA-ESO VLTI expertise Center
(NEVEC), Leiden contributed to the initial setup and operations of the VLTI. Personnel from Leiden
provided operation planning, software, and commissioning support to the MidInfrared Interferometer
(MIDI) instrument which now operates at the VLTI. Personnel provide also initial software and
operation planning to the Phase Referenced Imaging and Micro-arcsecond Astrometry project at ESO.
Together with French and German collaborators, Leiden is participating in MATISSE, a follow-up
instrument to MIDI.

Risk management
6.1 Methodology
6.1.1 Risk identification
The risk identification is made by the leader of each work package and is addressed to the management
and discussed during the regular phone conference organized at the management level.
6.1.2 Risk assessment
The risk assessment is firstly made by the leader of each work package and then re-evalutated at the
management level.

The impact is firstly estimated by the leader of each work package and then re-evaluated at the
management level taking into account its general effect on the instrument.
6.1.2.1.2 Probability
The probability is firstly estimated by the leader of each work package and then examined and reevaluated at the management level.
6.1.2.1.3 Risk exposure product
The risk exposure product is delivered during the regular Progress Meetings.
6.1.2.2 Quantitative risk analysis
A preliminary quantitative risk analysis is made by the leader of each work package and then improved
by the local Project Manager. The general risk analysis is under the responsibility of the Project
Manager.

General schedule
The following “Gantt” diagram gives the current schedule.
We see in this diagram that the critical path concerns the delivery of the two Cryostats and of the two
Cold Optics. That is the reason why we propose two FDRs: one for the Cryostats and for the optics of
the Cold Optics at the end of the first semester 2011 and an instrument FDR at the end of 2011.
This critical path is due to the duration of:
- the cold optics procurement and manufacturing
- the cold optics alignment
- the cryostats manufacturing
- the cryostats integrations, tests and optimizations
Between the FDR and the PAE several intermediate millestones are planed:
a. acceptance of the electronics for the L&M and N cryostats – September 2012
b. acceptance of the electronics for the Cold Optics – September 2012
c. acceptance of the electronics for the Warm Optics – December 2012
d. acceptance of the N band Cold Optics – March 2013
e. acceptance of the N band Cryostat – April 2013
f. acceptance of the L band Cryostat – July 2013
g. acceptance of the L band Cold Optics- August 2013
h. acceptance of the Warm Optics – October 2013
i. partial acceptance of the N band (Cryostat + Cold Optics + Detector) – December 2013
j. partial acceptance of the L band (Cryostat + Cold Optics + Detector) – May 2014
The three first intermediate millestones corresponds to the delivery of the Electronics to the different
Institutes (ASTRON, MPIA and OCA) in order to be able to perform the tests of the modules which
are parts of the corresponding sub-systems.
The intermediate millestone “d” corresponds to the N band Cold Optics fully aligned in the warm with
the mororizations fully tested.
The intermediate millestones “e and f” correspond to the N band and the L&M band Cryostats fully
tested and optimized.
The intermediate millestone “g” corresponds to the N band Cold Optics fully aligned in the warm with
the mororizations fully tested.
The intermediate millestone “h” corresponds to the Warm Optics fully aligned with the motorizations
fully tested.
The intermediate millestones “i and j” correspond to the tests of the cryo-mechanisms and of the
detectors in cold conditions for the respective N and L&M bands sub-assembly (Detector + Cold
Optics + Cryostat).

Comments:
- The detector work will start with the detector characterization, followed by the incorporation of
the ESO NGC hardware and software and the development phase of the MATISSE specific
detector readout modes and functions. The integration phase with the engineering grade
detector will take place in Heidelberg and Nice. The amount of participation of the people
involved in the different project phases will evolve, so the given percentage of time in the
previous table is an average. The responsibility and group leader function for the MATISSE
detector will end in 1/2015. No further manpower support can be provided from that time on,
and MPIA will fully take over the detector work and responsibility.

Table 8.2: Cost and contributions
In the last column the symbol ‘*’ means that the corresponding numbers are related to applications in
progress.
The cold optics is a sub-system for which the hardware is financed throught different contributions.
This is what details the following table. The Nice Land application has been submitted in 2010 and
succeed for ~75KEuro including taxes. A Région PACA application will be submitted in 2011or 2012
for a result end of 2011or 2012 - beginning of 2012 or 2013. An ESO contribution of 300 k€ to the
cold optics has been agreed.

The cost estimates have been made including 20 to 30% contingencies. The total expected contribution
amounting to 1 495 k€ for the cold optics correspondant to 18% contingency.
The Viena University (group of J. Hron) may contribute to the cold optics components expenses at the
level of ~50kEuro.
