1.0 Introduction and Scientific Objectives We propose to investigate the ionospheric response to the ionospheric Alfvn resonator near an auroral arc with a sounding rocket experiment, the Poker Flat Incoherent Scatter Radar (PFISR), and auroral imaging from Ft. Yukon, Alaska. The proposed launch site is the Poker Flat Research Range (PFRR). PFISR will be used to monitor ion and electron density and temperature under the rocket trajectory for comparison with the sounding rocket data and to determine the launch conditions. The MICA (Magnetosphere-Ionosphere Coupling in the Alfvn resonator) sounding rocket will measure ion temperature and density, electron temperature and density, electron precipitation, ion upflow, convection and ULF electric fields, magnetic fields from which field-aligned current (FAC) can be inferred, and plasma waves. The objectives of the experiment are to investigate the role of active ionospheric feedback in the development of large amplitude and small scale electromagnetic waves and density depletions in the low altitude (< 400 km), downward current, auroral ionosphere. Understanding how the ionosphere participates in providing the downward current is a critical component of understanding magnetosphereionosphere coupling. The payload consists of both mature technology with heritage on multiple sounding rocket experiments and new technology developments looking forward to conducting experiments in the low altitude ionosphere, including auroral electron detectors with low voltage delta-doped CCD sensors and GPS TEC receivers. The team for this experiment is Principal Investigator Steven Powell (Cornell U.), who is responsible for the electric field, magnetic field, plasma wave, and GPS instruments, with the assistance of Co-Investigators David Hysell (Cornell U.) and Mark Psiaki (Cornell U.); CoInvestigator Kristina Lynch (Dartmouth), who is responsible for the thermal ion sensors and auroral electron sensor; Co-Investigator Marc Lessard (UNH), who is responsible for the thermal electron sensors; Co-Investigator Ray Goldstein (SwRI), who is responsible for the low voltage electron precipitation detector; Co-Investigator Jran Moen, who is responsible for the multipleneedle Langmuir probe, collaborator Craig Heinselman (SRI Int.), who is responsible for the PFISR measurements; Co-Investigators Hans Stenbaek-Nielsen and Don Hampton (UAF-GI), who are responsible for down-range auroral imaging; and Co-Investigator Anatoly Streltsov (Dartmouth), who is responsible for modeling. 2.0 Cornell Main-Payload Instrumentation & Sub-Systems

4.0 Mechanical Systems Please refer to figure 2 for the following discussion. The payload consists of a mainpayload and a sub-payload. The main-payload is made up of a forward experiment section, an attitude control system, a telemetry section, and a section that houses the m-NLP Langmuir probe. The main-payload contains a variety of particle and magnetic field sensors along with the Langmuir probe and a GPS TEC receiver. The COWBOYS sub-payload contains electric field and plasma wave sensors, a science magnetometer, an ERPA particle detector, and a developmental GPS attitude sensor.

Figure 2. MICA Payload Concept 4.1 Openings and Doors The entire nose cone should be ejected to expose the booms systems, particle detectors, and L1/L2 GPS antenna on the main-payload. The nose cone should push off of the top of the forward experiment section. There will be a payload skirt, covering the m-NLP section, that will be ejected aft to expose the Langmuir probe booms and sensors. 4

4.2 Booms -- Antennas There will be a total of twelve deployable elements on the main-payload consisting of two 0.6-meter booms supporting the Cornell science magnetometer and UNH ERPA particle detectors, a pair of short booms (approximately 8 inches long) supporting the Dartmouth HT and PIP particle detectors, and eight 0.75-meter booms for the m-NLP experiment . The two 0.6-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 0.6-meter booms. A "spider" release mechanism for these two booms is required and needs to be provided by NSROC. The rotating "spider" mechanism that has flown successfully on several previous payloads is suggested. The two short booms (HT, PIP) have self contained deployment mechanisms. The two detector arms should be deployed simultaneously to maintain dynamic balance. The eight 0.75-meter booms for the m-NLP experiment are made of carbon fiber tubes, arranged to provide approximately 1.5 meter tip-to-tip separation for the eight Langmuir probe sensors. Details of this boom system are given in the University of Oslo Appendix B of this document. For the sub-payload, a small, light weight, and dynamically stable boom system for the electric field measurement will be used. The system is called a COWBOY boom, which stands for Cornell Wire Boom Yo-Yo. This system has flown successfully on several payloads, using both 6-meter and 12-meter tip-to-tip booms. The system to be used on this payload most closely matches the system recently flown on the 40.026 (RENU) payload, and is shown in Appendix A. 5.0 Instrumentation & Telemetry 5.1 Power Required

Main-Payload Cornell U. expt.: 18V @ +1.2/-0.1 A Dartmouth expt.: +28V @ 300/350 mA (HV off/on) UNH expt.: +28V @ 150 mA U. of Oslo expt.: +28V @ 175 mA SwRI expt.: +28V @ 89 mA Sub-Payload

Cornell U. expt.: 18V @ +1.4/-0.5 A (continuous) with +3.9/-3.0 A for 10 sec

(same as 40.026) Each experiment should have independent control of power-on and power-off for the purpose of trouble shooting and interference testing. The Dartmouth, UNH, U. of Oslo, and SwRI experiments may share a single +28V battery pack but each instrument box must have separate polyfusing. 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. 5.2 Telemetry Required A PCM system with a bit rate of 6.4 Mb/s is required to telemeter the data from the Cornell, Dartmouth, UNH, U of Oslo, and SwRI experiments on the main-payload. The individual telemetry requirements are given in the Appendix for each institution. For the sub-payload, a PCM system with a bit rate of 6.4 Mb/s is required to telemeter all experiment and housekeeping data. The telemetry requirements are nearly identical to the subpayload recently flown on the 40.026 payload (details listed in Appendix A). We desire the sub-frame rates for the main-payload and sub-payload PCM systems to be the same, for ease of data analysis. This can be achieved with a PCM encoder configured for 6.4 Mb/s, 10-bit words, and a 80 word sub-frame on the main-payload, and 6.4 Mb/s, 8-bit words, and a 100 word sub-frame on the sub-payload. The payload telemetry system must be designed to enable the use of the nearby highpowered Poker Flat Incoherent Scatter Radar (PFISR) without causing interference to the reception of telemetry data before, during, and after the flight. For past payloads, this has meant carefully selecting the payload transmitter frequencies, configuring the ground station to minimize interference, and making some changes to the mode of operation of PFISR. The MICA TM engineer should consult with prior TM engineers, ground station personnel, and PFISR operators so that previous field experience is taken into account when designing the payload TM system, and when drafting the countdown procedures. Special PFISR/payload interference testing should also take place during the payload build-up at the launch site (see section 5.5). 5.3 Monitors The experimenters will provide boom position monitors in the form of potentiometers for 10 of the deployable booms on the main-payload (MAG, ERPA, and MNLP1 thru MNLP8). Potentiometers will also be used for the remaining two booms (HT and PIP) but NSROC should supply them to Dartmouth. All of the boom position monitors will be 10K ohm. 5.4 Pyro / Squib Circuits On the main-payload, the rotating "spider" release mechanism for the two 0.6-meter booms should be designed to use a pin puller type IMT 18CC (228-50000) supplied by NSROC. The "spider" release mechanism for m-NLP booms should also be designed to use a IMT 18CC pin puller supplied by NSROC. The release mechanism for the HT and PIP detectors uses two of the IMT 18CC pin pullers supplied by NSROC. On the sub-payload, The COWBOY wire boom system will be released by a pyrotechnic cable cutter (Holex 2800 guillotine) to be supplied by NSROC. In addition, the brake for the COWBOY booms will be engaged by a pin puller type IMT 18CC (228-50000) supplied by NSROC.

5.5 Special Testing -- Telemetry Support Required Pre-integration vibration testing is highly desired for three of the new experiment instruments: the Cornell FOTON GPS receiver electronics box, the UNH PIP sensors and associated electronics, and the SwRI LEES instrument. It is likely that the pre-integration vibration testing will be carried out using developmental or prototype units. Telemetry data should be recorded from these instruments during the vibration testing. Every attempt should be made to perform the pre-integration testing in order to obtain confidence in these new instrument designs before the start of payload integration. The Cornell and UNH pre-integration vibration testing will take place at NASA Wallops, while the LEES instrument will undergo pre-integration vibration testing at SwRI facilities. The flight units of all of these instruments will undergo the standard inpayload vibration testing during integration. At the launch site, combined testing of the payload telemetry system, full ground station, and PFISR should be carried out during the payload build-up, to check for and mitigate any possible interference from PFISR. PFISR will be used to help determine the launch conditions and also to obtain complementary science data before, during, and after the flight so it is critical that this interference testing take place as early as possible during the field operations. See section 5.2 for related details on this issue.

6.0 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. Main-Payload Events 1. Motor separation ~2 m/s 2. Enable ACS1: roll control to 4 Hz 0.5 Hz (spin up or down) maneuver parallel to -B, nose up drive coning to zero 3. Eject Sub-Payload Skirt aft ~1.7 m/s expose COWBOY system 4. Eject Nose Cone expose Main-P/L experiments 5. ACS2: damp rates 6. Eject Sub-Payload aft ~0.5 m/s 7. Eject Aft Skirt aft ~0.2 m/s expose m-NLP system 8. Deploy (8) m-NLP booms 9. ACS3: trim roll to ~0.8 Hz remain par. to -B (helicopter) 10. Deploy HT, PIP booms 11. Deploy MAG, ERPA booms 12. ACS4: trim roll to ~0.5 Hz, par. to -B, then disable 13. High Voltage On (Dartmouth HT, Bagel) 14. ACS5: Downleg Update: par. to -B Only if 8 deg off of -B ~36 sec duration, then disable Sub-Payload Events 15. Enable COWBOY damper 16. Deploy COWBOY antenna 17. Engage COWBOY brake 18. Disable COWBOY damper 7.0 Aspect Sensors / Attitude Knowledge Requirement 3-axis attitude determination is a difficult task, and the greatest number of attitude sensors that are available will improve the accuracy of the final attitude solution. Therefore the following sensors should be considered for use on both the main and sub-payloads: 3-axis magnetometer, horizon crossing indicator (HCI), and a solar aspect sensor. In addition, Cornell will supply a new GPS-based attitude determination system (CAGE) for the sub-payload. This system consists of two patch antennas wired directly to the Cornell electronics box. Additional details on this system is shown in the Cornell University Appendix A. Time/Altitude/Requirement

In order to carry out the science measurements detailed in the minimum success criteria (section 15.0 of this document), absolute attitude knowledge to 10 degrees or better is required for both the main-payload and sub-payload during the data taking portion of the flight. On past flights, a 3-axis magnetometer and a roll sensor (either HCI or solar aspect) has been adequate, as long as the HCI model is selected specifically for the final roll rate of the payload. 8.0 Radar Beacon A radar beacon is not required by the experimenters, but can be included if required by the launch range. 9.0 Trajectory Data Absolute trajectory knowledge is required at the 500 meter level. This is easily satisfied by the NSROC supplied GPS receiver on the main-payload and the Cornell supplied GPS receiver on the sub-payload. 10.0 Outgassing Requirements, Magnetic Material Sensitivity, RFI Susceptibility The Dartmouth, UNH, and SwRI 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
before installation.

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. If any DC-DC converters are used they must operate above 20 KHz. 11.0 Vehicle Performance 11.1 Altitude Requirements

Comprehensive Success: Minimum apogee 325 km, Maximum apogee 375 km. Minimum Success: Minimum apogee 300 km, Maximum apogee 400 km.
11.2 Pointing Requirements A magnetic sensing attitude control system (ACS) is required to align the payload parallel to -B to achieve the scientific objectives. The ACS will also be used for roll control and coning mitigation. After motor separation, the ACS needs to align the payload parallel to -B, with the nose of the rocket up. Various deployments will then take place as detailed in the

Time/Events section 6.0 of this document. After the final deployment, the ACS will trim the roll rate and alignment to -B and then be disabled. On the downleg, after 75% of the data taking, the ACS will be re-enabled for a short time, and re-align to -B, but only if it is 8 degrees or more off of -B, and then be disabled for the remainder of the flight. Please review section 6.0 (item 14) for more details on the ACS maneuvers. 11.3 Coning Angle For the main-payload, the coning should be driven to zero by the ACS prior to the subpayload ejection. After all deployments have taken place, the ACS should once again null out the coning and then be disabled. On the downleg, the ACS will be re-enabled for a short fixed time duration (~36 sec as currently planned) but should only attempt to realign to -B and minimize coning if the payload is 8 degrees or further off of -B. See section 6.0 for additional details. 11.4 Despin A mechanical yo-yo despin of the payload will not be required. However, roll rate control by the ACS to 4.0 Hz +/-0.5 Hz is required prior to ejection of the sub-payload and deployment of the (8) m-NLP booms, followed by roll control to a much lower spin rate (~0.8 Hz) prior to deployment of the 4 remaining booms on the main-payload. After all deployments, a final spin rate of approximately 0.5 Hz is desired to achieve the scientific objectives. The science team will work with the NSROC payload design team to select appropriate intermediate spin rates for the boom deploys, and a final spin rate for the main-payload. 11.5 Attitude Control System A magnetic ACS is required on the main-payload in order to satisfy the pointing, coning, and despin requirements detailed in sections 6.0, 11.2, 11.3, and 11.4. 12.0 Restrictions / Radioactive Sources None known. 13.0 Range Support

Ground based telemetry receiving system to support the 6.4 Mb/s transmission system
with robust safety margins.

Distribution of real time trajectory data and/or look angles for use by the groundbased imaging instruments at the downrange sites.

Adequate real-time communications to Ft Yukon and other downrange sites. 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. A Telemetry Data Processor (TDP) with a parallel output port is required for the ground support equipment (GSE) for the Cornell FOTON GPS receiver experiment.

Power Requirements Main-Payload Cornell University: University of Oslo: Sub-Payload Cornell University: UNH: Main-Payload General Notes: 1. It is recommended that the main-payload have a 6.4 Mb/s PCM link arranged as 80 words by 32 sub-frames with 10-bit words (8000 Hz sub-frame rate, 250 Hz major frame rate). 2. 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. 3. Cornell will provide potentiometers (10K ohm) for the two 1-meter booms (MAG & DERPA). These boom position monitors must be biased and sampled by the PCM telemetry system. 4. The University of Oslo will provide potentiometers (10K ohm) for the eight 0.75-meter Langmuir probe booms. These boom position monitors must be biased and sampled by the PCM telemetry system. 5. A Telemetry Data Processor (TDP) with a parallel output port is required for the ground support equipment (GSE) for the FOTON GPS experiment. This needs to be available at both integration at Wallops and in the eld at Poker.

Sub-Payload General Notes: 1. The sub-payload will have a 6.4 Mb/s PCM link arranged as 100 words by 32 sub-frames with 8-bit words (8000 Hz sub-frame rate, 250 Hz major frame rate). 2. The sub-payload telemetry requirements for 36.273 are identical to the requirements for the 40.026 sub-payload except there is no need for a super-stable oscillator for the PCM encoder (only required for Norwegian doppler ranging), and some motor monitoring functions may be different (no Nihka to monitor). 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.

Electrical
Expected current levels for Box 1: ~150 mA w/o HV ~200 mA with HV Expected current levels for PIP Box: ~150 mA measured @ 14V/no detector heads attached; Estimate ~75mA at 28V for box, plus 75mA for the detector sensors, for a total estimated of 150 mA at 28V for PIP box plus sensors Instruments requiring power at lift-off or by timer function: BOX 1 High voltage on (HVON) command by timer function Minimum and maximum voltage required: BOX 1 Nominal 28 V can range down to 20V and up to 48V. PIP BOX Nominal 28V range 20V to 36V Current limiting protection provided in the instrument: Internal power is derived by switching power supplies to generate internally used voltages, and by the HVTO circuit in BOX 1 to provide +28H to the HV generator circuits. The power bricks (Astrodyne) 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. BOX 1 Pulse Amp test should be supplied ONLY through umbilical List of science booms and monitor requirements. Two ~12-inch fold-down booms on Main, one for 5-PIP-sensor array and one for HT Potentiometers (Vishay Spectrol model 157) for monitoring each boom deploy Handshake signal requirements for each instrument (major frame, etc.). Signals: Major frame, minor frame and gated clock for each serial word for Box 1 Major Frame, 1PPS, Gated clock and Inverted Load for PIP box See detailed tables at end of this Appendix. Matrix requirements System word length: Dartmouth Box 1 serial digital data, HII, is8 bit word lengths, but can be in longer bit length words. PIP box has 6 of 16 bit words which should be in adjacent words in the TM matrix Box 1 Interface circuitry generates load pulses from timing gaps between words in any SD channel. No Dartmouth BOX 1 serial digital channel (HII) can have adjacent words in the TM matrix. Dartmouth SD channels from box 1 and PIP box can be adjacent to one another in the TM matrix.

First BOX 1 Dartmouth (HII) 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. Last BOX 1 Dartmouth serial digital word in TM matrix before Major Frame should have at least 10 microSeconds between the end of the gated clock burst and Major Frame Alignment of sampling and stepping for Bagel (BgT) , HII, HIT, and PIP: Use of Major Frame and Minor Frame pulses in 8051 control software -- We want to align the sweep stepping and the readouts for HII, HIT, Bagel and PIP . We presently believe using MajF and MinF with delays based upon the time offset of data readouts from MajorFrame will allow us to align detector sweeps. Delays for stepping the sweeps based upon the locations of the data words in the TM matrix can be done once the matrix is finalized. Flight Events list (all timer controlled science/experimenter events with turn-on requirements such as altitude or time) Boom deploy HV on Altitude protected events HVON is altitude-switch protected inside boxes

GSE/Umbilical requirements External Experiment Switching: Experiment power On/Off HVTO On/Off Pulse Amp Test On/Off (UMBILICAL ONLY) External Experiment Monitoring: Need to be able to monitor experiment data outputs and analog monitors, including all serial Digital channels, all counters and bias, sweep and current monitors. Humidity monitoring on umbi only; sensor and dry nitgrogen flow source near bagel MCP and stowed HT -- two wires needed for one humidity monitor. See details in figures. Note data logger needs to be within 300 feet of sensor, probably in mini blockhouse with a camera.

Mechanical
See attached drawings of: Detectors cans (HT) and box (for Bagel) Boom footprint; similar boom design as Cascades2 HT 3.00" x 3.62"diam, (HT is very similar to HM) less than 1.5 lbs Bagel 4.213" x 3.360" x 7.837" (H x W x L) between 3.3 lbs and 4.4 lbs Box 1 5.5"x5.875"x3.083" PIP Box 5.5"x5.875"x2.333"

PIP sensor head array: cluster of 5 PIP sensors on fold-down boom, looking forward, aft, perpendicular, and in two 45deg directions between. Estimated sensor array weight: 0.8 lbs, plus mounting structure

Total electronics (Box1+PIP box) on Main: ~4 lbs Booms ~0.3 lbs each Desired location of instruments (accessibility/doors) Detector field of view must clear payload when boom deployed Bagel aperture needs view through forward deck Top of Bagel aperture needs to be flush with top of forward deck This requires mounting Bagel on a separate Bagel mounting deck Top of Bagel mounting deck should be 4.088 below top of forward deck

Out-gassing requirements Low outgassing materials only near purged sensors Experiment interfaces: Cable from each sensor head to an electronics box Acceptable science view characteristics Detector field of view must clear payload skin Bagel aperture needs view through forward deck Top of Bagel aperture needs to be flush with top of forward deck This requires mounting Bagel on a separate Bagel mounting deck Top of Bagel mounting deck should be 4.088" below top of forward deck Special Testing Boom deploy and latch Pre-integration vibration of new PIP electronics and sensor head array Required Roll Rates (parameters for Boom deploy,etc.) Boom deploy near 1Hz Experiment pyrotechnics Boom release (2) Magnetic Cleanliness As magnetically clean as fiscally reasonable.

REMOVE BEFORE FLIGHT MECHANICAL: 1. PIP SENSOR SCREEN COVERS, 2. HT aperture cover, 3. Bagel aperture cover

Summary and exterior drawing of HT detector head, which will be mounted on one fold-down boom so that the height from boom foot to top of detector head is approx 11-12".

Exterior drawing of Bagel, mounted at top of Main payload front section. The bottom of the Bagel will mount to the top of a specific Bagel mount deck. There will be a hole cut into the forward deck such that the Bagel aperture looks through the forward deck. We require the Bagel aperture to be flush with the forward deck. This requires the top of the Bagel mount deck to be located 4.088 below the top of the forward deck. There should be at least .250 of clearance between the forward deck and all surfaces of the Bagel instrument. This requires a hole of minimum dimensions 3.860 x 2.598 to be cut in the forward deck for clearance for the Bagel aperture boss.

Drawing of Box1, which connects to HT, Bagel, and the NASA connector. Main payload only.

PIP Box same deck footprint as Box 1

PIP box will contain three short trays (0.735" ea.) with four covers (0.032" ea.) Total height: 2.333'' NASA connector located on middle tray. Connector locations as yet unspecified; connectors reach to PIP boom, to NASA TM, and from tray-to-tray on the box itself.

Boom footprint for both booms. As on RENU/Lessard but to be revised with stiffened mechanical design.

PIP Sensor heads

PIP Sensor heads are a new design based on the Dust Detector sensors. The original sensor drawing is the bottom image; the upper image is an updated version for the PIP. The final sensors will be slightly wider and shorter than the drawing in the upper panel. 5 of these will be mounted in a cluster on one fold-down boom.

Relative Humidity Sensor

Payload Humidity Sensing: Replacement Probe for Omega OM-THA2 RH Logger with original plastic housing removed. RH sensing IC (U2) is located on the left end of the board.

RH sensor housing will be an aluminum enclosure with a bottom and cover. The RH sensor board mounts within a milled internal pocket with connections made to a DE9P connector, which is mounted to the right end of the enclosure. Slots in the cover allow sensor exposure to ambient humidity of the payload.

Relative Humidity Sensor Wiring

A DE9S on the NASA harness will provide connection to the umbilical. At the miniblockhouse end of the umbilical a DE9P connector will mate with a DE9S wired to the Omega OM-THA2 RH Logger. Sensor to logger distance should be under 300 feet.
