We will start with the current status of the project including an overview of the project schedule, summary of the opto-mechanical design, electrical design, systems design, and the cost performance to date.
The summary of the committee report items will include an issues compliance matrix, and address specific committee concerns.
In the project overview section we will present both the plan to the RR and the plan to completion. A discussion of the remaining issues between Gemini and NOAO is included.
Project management will cover the GNIRS project organization, the schedule, critical path, remaining capital and labor costs, cost performance tracking, reporting, etc.
The new GNIRS configuration will be presented in summary to familiarize the committee with the new instrument design. We will present examples of the requirements flowdown process, the top level configuration, and system integration.
Risk ID and mitigation is planned for the second day and will address all risk items previously pointed out by the committee plus additional items related to the new design, and the plan to mitigate these risks.
Sidney Wolff will then conclude our presentations and we will adjourn for the committee to caucus.

Committee Charge What is NOAO’s current cost estimate to complete GNIRS and on what
schedule? Is this estimate consistent with NOAO’s planned resources over the
duration of the GNIRS project? Have the technical issues (AURA report attached for reference)
identified by the AURA review committee been addressed adequately to permit continuation of GNIRS?
Does NOAO now have in place an appropriate management structure to track, plan, and control resources to ensure that GNIRS will be delivered on time and budget?
Are there any approaches to designing and fabricating GNIRS that can significantly accelerate the planned delivery, e.g., through the injection of additional NOAO resources, outsourcing the fabrication of components, etc.?
Have all contractual matters involving out of scope work, definition of work, and interfacing requirements been settled with IGPO?

GNIRS Configuration
62
This page intentionally left blank
63
GNIRS is a New Configuration
• Requirements (Elias)• Top Level Configuration (Elias)• Detailed Configuration
(Gregory,Muller,Goble,Elias, Rudeen)• Sub-System Integration (Elias)• System Integration and Test (Elias)
64
Requirements were analyzed and documented (1)
• System Design Notes (SDNs):The System Design Notes serve several purposes. First of all, they provide a written
definition and discussion of requirements. Second, they provide a discussion of the flow down of the requirements to individual sub-systems within the instrument. This discussion of allocations is critical to a sensible design. Third, they may provide a discussion of design trade-offs required to achieve required performance. This can in principle lead to a re-allocation of requirements.
• Interface Control Documents (ICDs):The Interface Control Documents define interfaces between external (Gemini telescope)
systems and GNIRS, and between IGPO-supplied subsystems (OIWFS, IFU, array controller) and GNIRS. Except for the IFU, the interfaces are common to more than one instrument, and GNIRS must conform to the ICD. The IFU is unique to GNIRS so the interface definition is more of a joint effort.
65
Requirements were analyzed and documented (1)
• Role of SDNs: Define requirements Flow-down of requirements Analysis of design trade-offs
• Role of ICDs Define interfaces to external Gemini systems Define interfaces to IGPO-supplied sub-systems
66
Requirements were analyzed and documented (2)
• Requirement Flow-Down:The design notes include summaries of the requirements and an allocations to sub-
systems. The flow-down chart illustrates this.
What is particularly important is that the requirements, as they flow down to individual sub-systems, are taken seriously by the engineering team. Thus, the approach to designing mechanisms is to design each within a weight budget rather than charging a “weight czar” to find out afterward whether the budget has been met. The design note approach permits feedback from the engineers in defining the allocations, and helps ensure that they “sign on” to the requirements.
67
Requirements were analyzed and documented (2)
• Requirements Flow-Down: Formal allocation of requirements Engineering team understands requirements and
implements them in design
68
Key Science Requirements (1)
• Optical Performance Image Quality: several requirements, can be simplified as design image quality of 85%
of light in 1 pixel with fabrication and assembly tolerances producing less than 5% degradation of delivered image.
Throughput: to be maximized, expectations >40%. Excess Background: light leaks and other excess thermal emission to be less than
detector dark current. Scattered light: scattered light to be less than detector dark for short wavelengths
(scattered light from night sky airglow).
• Flexure Flexure between OIWFS and spectrograph slit to be <12 microns (at slit) in 1 hour (5%
light loss with narrow slit) Flexure between spectrograph slit and detector to be <2.7 microns (at detector) in 1
hour (0.1 pixel) Shift of telescope secondary image on cold stop to be 1% of diameter maximum Should include effects of thermal variations as well as gravity
• Repeatability Repeatability during acquisition < 0.1 pixel Repeatability between configurations <10 pixels
69
Key Science Requirements (1)
• Optical Performance• Flexure• Repeatability
70
Key Science Requirements (2)
Cool-Down and Warm-Up Cool-down to take place in 4 days or less (96 hours). Warm up to take place in 1 day or less (24 hours).
Weight and Center of Gravity Instrument weight = 2000 kg (ballast if necessary) Instrument center of gravity located 1000 mm from ISS face, on optical axis Allowable error in moment is 400 N-m relative to telescope elevation axis.
Supports On-Instrument Wave-Front Sensor Provides near-IR guiding on stars within 3 arcmin field (excluding those in
spectrograph slit and acquisition field) Minimizes flexure effects (ISS, instrument and bench support) Parallel “instrument” within GNIRS: optical system, detector/controller, 3 mechanisms
(4 axes) Provided as sub-system by IfA (Hawaii) through IGPO
Support of Multiple Observing Modes Detailed below
71
Key Science Requirements (2)
• Cool-Down and Warm-Up• Weight and Center of Gravity• Supports OIWFS• Support of Multiple Observing Modes
72
Several Observing Modes Supported• 2 spatial scales: 0.05 arcsec/pixel for match to AO and best seeing; 0.15 arcsec/pixel for
more routine non-AO conditions (also gives longer slit coverage, more IFU coverage)
• 3 spectral resolutions: R~1800 for full coverage of atmospheric “window”; R= 5400/6000 for observations between OH airglow lines and general higher resolution; R= 18,000 (0.05 arcsec pixels only) for highest spectral resolution.
• Prism dispersers: spectral cross-dispersion for complete 0.9-2.4 micron spectra at both pixel scales; Wollaston prism for polarization analysis (used at both scales).
• Integral Field Unit (IFU): maps rectangular area onto virtual slit. Two units provide two scales (slightly less than equivalent long-slit modes). Works with all gratings; good performance required to 2.5 microns, desired to longer wavelengths. Provided as sub-system by U Durham through IGPO.
• Acquisition mode (“flip-in” mirror) allows direct, non-dispersed viewing through slit to identify and position objects. Does not require movement of dispersing elements.
• Diagnostic modes. Intended to aid in test or diagnosis of instrument. Pupil viewing (alignment of secondary with cold stop). Focus masks (accurate focus of detector on slit).
73
Several Observing Modes Supported
• 2 Spatial Scales• 3 Spectral Resolutions• Cross-Dispersion and Polarization Analysis• Integral Field Unit• Acquisition• Diagnostics
74
Top Level Configuration - External View
• Illustrates concept (details of dewar design will conform to internal structure).• Truss structure interfaces to telescope; controls flexure, responds to thermal
variations• Additional trusses support instrument for handling, attach electronics to main
structure. Interfaces to Gemini handling equipment are part of these trusses.• Design leads to minimal complexity in dewar shell• Central bulkhead contains all interfaces to innards: cooling system, structural
(bench support), electrical
75
Top Level Configuration - External View
76
Top Level Configuration - Internal View
• Illustrates layout of mechanical assemblies.• The design permits use of NIRI layout for OIWFS (2 folds removed). Key
elements of OIWFS identified: field lens, combination lens group (collimator/camera), gimbal mirror (field selection), filter wheel, combination Shack-Hartmann optics group and detector mount (“detector group”)
• The design minimizes folds in spectrograph. Key elements identified: fore-optics (spectrograph pick-off mirror, Offner relay and folds, filters, slit/decker), collimator, prism turret, grating turret, camera turret assembly (cameras, focus, detector)
• The design permits use of acquisition (“flip”) mirror (intercepts light from collimator and directs to camera). Minimizes motion requirements on disperser turrets.
• Central location for most large assemblies simplifies structural and thermal design.

Optical Layout The layout shows a short camera in place in observing mode. Only the science beam (not the
wavefront sensor (WFS) beam) is shown. Light enters the instrument from the lower left and encounters first a weak field lens, which is the vacuum window of the dewar. The science beam is separated from the WFS beam by a narrow pickoff mirror located at the position of the telescope focal plane. The Offner relay optics reimage the focal plane onto the slit. More important, it forms a pupil image where a cold stop is erected. Prior to the slit there is a pair of filter wheels for defining the diffraction orders passed by the instrument. From the slit the light goes to an off-axis paraboloid which collimates the light. The collimated beam is dispersed in a direction along the slit by one set of selectable dispersers (on the “prism” turret, which includes a simple mirror for no cross-dispersion). The beam then passes to a set of selectable gratings (on the grating turret) which disperses the light in the direction perpendicular to the slit Finally the collimated beam is brought to a focus on the detector by one of four cameras on a camera turret.
For field acquisition, a flat mirror is inserted just in front of the cameras, intercepting the light from the collimator before it is dispersed. This permits viewing the field without disturbing the dispersing elements for increased speed and reproducibility.

Foreoptics
The purpose of the foreoptics is to reduce the level of background radiation in the instrument.
The Offner Relay reimages the telescope focal plane onto the slit, achromatically, 1:1 and with a very low level of aberration. The combination of the entrance window of the dewar (which is a weak lens) and the primary of the Offner (in first pass) makes an image of the aperture stop of the telescope (the secondary) on the secondary of the Offner.
At the secondary, a black, circular, baffle is erected to suppress light from outside the telescope beam. Additional baffles will be erected before and after the secondary to further suppress out-of-beam light. On the second pass off the primary, the beam is restored to telecentricity. This has the important result that the next image of the pupil in the spectrograph falls one focal length from the collimator mirror, where it is convenient to place the gratings and other dispersers.
Cold filters before slit restrict optical bandwidth entering spectrograph, for order-sorting and suppression of out-of-band radiation.

Gratings and Prisms
Two turrets hold sets of gratings (3) and cross-dispersers (3, plus a mirror) to provide several dispersing modes, allowing the user of the instrument to make tradeoffs between:
Spectral coverage vs resolution Slit length vs spectral coverage (cross-dispersion)
as well as to add a simple capability for polarimetry Prism turret:
Prism – for short camera; spectral resolution 1800 Prism – for long camera; spectral resolution 1800 Wollaston prism (for polarimetry) Mirror – for long-slit spectroscopy (100 arcsec with short camera; 50 arcsec with long)

Cameras
Four cameras are provided: 2 long for high spatial resolution (2 pixels matched to 0.1 arcsec
slit); optimized for 0.9-2.5 and 3-5 microns respectively. 2 short for lower spatial resolution (2 pixels matched to 0.3
arcsec slit); longer slit and most importantly, higher throughput under conditions of poorer seeing; again, optimized for shorter and longer wavelengths respectively.
The long cameras (1305mm focal length) must be folded to make them con-focal with the short cameras.

Materials
Transmissive cameras: use barium fluoride, calcium fluoride and SF6. All well characterized in IR and at low temperatures (we contracted the measurement of CTE and index of SF6 data at low temperatures).
Powered mirrors (Offner and Collimator) are diamond-turned Alumiplate on aluminum for athermal optical performance and very low scattered light.
Flat mirrors are on glass substrates which are economical and have unsurpassed surface regularity and smoothness. (Typical reflectivity 99%)
Coatings: The diamond turned reflectors are all coated with protected Au (for robustness). The glass mirrors are bare gold coated. The transmissive optics are all coated with multi-layer anti-reflection coatings. (Typical average transmission: 98% per element)

Stray Light
We aggressively reduce extraneous sources of light. This topic may be revisited in the discussion of the thermal design, but it is convenient to summarize the various approaches being used: Low operating temperature (<65K) Scattered light:
No obstructions in beam to scatter Low-scattering surfaces Baffling will be based on scattering analysis
Cold motors to eliminate feedthroughs from ambient temperatures (and active removal of heat evolved by motors)
Thermal stationing of electrical feedthroughs No light leaks:The entire low-temperature portion of the spectrograph from the pickoff mirror to
the detector will be enclosed in a nearly isothermal enclosure at <65K. Joints will be baffled by a labyrinth construction. Path for vacuum pumping interior of instrument will be provided for. The cold, light-tight enclosure will be thoroughly light-leak tested at room temperature.

Structural Design Strategy
• More flexure of Instrument support is allowed because of the OIWFS, tilt < +/- 0.62 mrad. Optical bench must be very stiff, displacement of the image on the detector < 2.7 micron for 15 degree change in gravity vector, ~+/- 1 microrad
• Central Dewar bulkhead supported on trusses, incorporates mechanical, electrical, and thermal interfaces; Dewar end caps have minimal complexity to reduce weight, fabrication cost, and allow access to the bench parts
• The optical bench is a three dimensional Aluminum casting. Structure is divided at the optimum places, Offner, forward bench, center bench, aft bench. The internal bulkhead truss connects to the center casting.
• Boxes that contain the mechanisms are the structure thus saving weight and enhancing heat transfer.
105
Structural Design Strategy
• Mounting flexure vs Bench flexure• Use of trusses• Central bulkhead for all interfaces• Three dimensional Bench• The Box is the Structure
106
Bench Support
A set of 6 G-10 spokes between the Dewar bulkhead and the center bench casting supports two lateral degrees of freedom and twist about optical axis. Rigidity, ~ 60 Hz lateral resonance, more FEA later Thermal expansion compensating geometry Low thermal conduction, space between used for wiring,
cryo system, and radiation shield support Set of 3 G-10 support flexures constrain the focus translation,
and tilt about X and Y. Design provides mount of bench while cold and also can be
used to hold bench for maintenance while the cover is removed from Dewar

Center section supported on Dewar bulkhead with truss; truss design to compensate for material contraction on cool-down
Bench is totally closed to light except for entrance window. There is a pumping port, opened by the acquisition mirror drive, to be used during cool-down. Bulkhead will have a permanently mounted Turbo pump to be used during temperature transitions
Enclosed volume is connected boxes (mostly of Aluminum castings) designed to fit around the mechanisms
Most mechanisms are inside with access covers Outside parts are:

Pre-Slit Optics
Pick-off mirror spans the field of view with 3 point mount at edges. Two points on one end, one on the other.
Offner entrance fold mirror is 3 point mounted. The points are on the front side of the mirror.
Offner primary and secondary mirrors are Diamond turned 6061 Aluminum with Alumiplate surface. Structural housing is also 6061 Aluminum.
Exit fold mirror is also mounted to three points on the front surface.
Assembly can be tested as a unit.
113
114
Spectrograph Bench
The slits and IFUs are supported in the forward bench casting which is not shown in the picture.
Aft bench is the only structural part of the system not enclosing optics. Its function is to support the collimator mirror in a cantilevered manner.
Collimator mount has a cover over the mounting details. The 3 blade flexure mounting is shimmed for adjustment.
Prisms are mounted on a turret with a horizontal bearing axis. The spindle is shown but the mount lugs are not.
The Gratings are mounted on a turret with a vertical axis. One drive does the swap and the variable tilt. The axis being orthogonal to the prism axis allows the non-detented drives to compensate orthogonal alignment.
The acquisition mirror is being designed to rotate up into position from below. Not shown in the picture. The drive will incorporate over travel to open a 100 mm diameter pump hole.
The long cameras use the same two stationary fold flats. Detector mounting and focus is being designed. The focus drive range will be 16
mm to allow testing warm with a different chip. The alignment on the stage will be done using a shim. Cold strapping and thermal control of the detector is the same as our other Aladdin mounts.

Front Cover Access
All of the pre-slit optics, the prism turret, the OIWFS field lens, and cold heads are accessible from the front cover end of the instrument. Any extended service time such as removal of the forward bench also requires back cover removal first to remove the Aladdin Chip for safe vacuum storage. Servicing the cold heads is possible by removing only the front cover as long as the instrument was back filled with dry N2, the valve is closed, and a temporary cover is used on the optics input hole.
The Offner can be directly removed if needed. Filter wheels are changed by removing the assembly from the side of the forward
bench and then swapping filters. Filters are pre-mounted in filter cells. Decker slide, slits, and IFUs are serviced by first removing the assembly from the
other side of the forward bench and disassembly as required. Motors are mounted outside so therefore are accessible, however the gears and
bearings are inside on each assembly. Prism turret work will require first removing the forward optics bench from the
bench center section. Cryo-head replacement requires disconnection inside before extraction from the
Dewar bulkhead.

Rear Cover Access
All other parts, LN2 pre-cool assembly, wiring, gratings,OIWFS, cameras, collimator mirror, acquisition mirror drive and valve, and detector/focus are accessed from the rear cover.
Collimator mirror mount is made so that the mirror could be removed for coating without need for realignment.
Camera turret can be removed from the bench as a unit or each camera can be taken out individually.
Detector can be removed while leaving the focus stage attached. Grating turret is on a sub-plate that is the cover. The center of the turret has a
guide pin so that the gratings cannot bump the center section during insertion. OIWFS parts are mounted onto the OIWFS bench cover plate. First the plate is
removed and then the bench can be detached from the center section. The gimbal mirror can be removed without disturbing the bench.
Acquisition mirror, cooling vacuum valve and pumpout port, are a unit mounted on another plate that forms the cover on the bottom of the center section when installed.
The rapid cool LN2 pre-cool assembly is clamped to the top of the center section with fill, vents, and valves passing through the bulkhead directly above (not shown).

Mechanism Design Concepts Use cold stepper motors. No feed through shafts. Concerns about light leaks
around shafts eliminated. Control of heat and radiation from motors requires attention.
Cold motors simplify mechanical design. Open loop control. Count steps from home position to desired position.
Simplifies control algorithms. Reliable and proven. Open loop control simplifies design. No ratchets, detents. Always drive mechanism to final position from one direction to remove backlash.
Positioning from opposite direction requires over-travel and reverse maneuver. Mechanical datum switches define home positions. Datum switch assemblies
contain 2 switches for reliability. Turrets are balanced to prevent motion induced by gravitational vector changes. Friction brakes hold turrets in position against backlash and dynamic forces. Use small, low-torque motors with large gear reductions to meet positioning
requirements and provide required drive torque for large mechanisms. Current limiting can provide mechanism protection plus reserve torque if needed.

Grating Turret
Rotary mechanism. Similar design used for prism, camera turrets, filter wheels and acquisition mirror.
Rotating part moves <360 degrees, holds 3 gratings Large central post, two bearings define position Friction brake plus final motion in standard direction eliminate backlash
Same axis of motion is used for both grating selection, tilt (requires slightly longer gratings, small motions of footprint on cameras, both effects limited by design).
Motor thermally de-coupled from mechanism support, can be shielded to eliminate thermal, radiation effects.
Entire mechanism mounts on sub-plate that bolts to bench Permits external alignment and test Removal and installation without loss of overall alignment (installation to machining
tolerances is sufficient) Adjustments provided for individual grating alignment (needed to co-align rulings). Drive is initial gear reduction plus final worm/wheel reduction. Prototype of a rotary mechanism will be built and tested to minimize risk shown.
137
138
Home Switch and Parking Brake
All mechanisms requiring precision positioning use a repeatable, redundant, parallel spring flexure home switch.
Use on filter wheels, decker and slit slides,prism, grating, turrets, and detector focus. Home switch will be tested to characterize repeatability.
Friction brake used on rotary mechanisms. Final drive worm wheel will also serve as a brake disk.

Thermal Stability and Control
Radiation shield design minimizes thermal gradients in optical bench Main effect of gradients in current design is on collimator and OIWFS focus Baseline design is 2 “floating” shields, 1 active shield Use of MLI possible (either as thermal or weight risk mitigation)
Active thermal control of bench required Without control, will see temperature variations due to variations in ambient
temperature, motor use (and control protocols) and in cryocooler performance
Temperature control is needed to ensure stable performance of OIWFS (ability to maintain guide star on slit) -- recommended by ICD
Temperature control also simplifies software control of camera focus (would otherwise need a correction for bench temperature)

System Integration & Test (1)
Critical Assumptions: Sub-systems can be tested externally and independently. These
tests include tests of mechanism flexure, cold tests of functionality (repeatability, torque requirements). Alignment of components within mechanism or modules, where required, can also be done externally (e.g, gratings within turret).
Minimize alignment procedures. This implies design of appropriate interfaces (and proper location) so that assembly tolerances are controlled and are sufficient to meet alignment requirements.
175
System Integration & Test (1)
Critical Assumptions External Tests and Alignment of Sub-Systems Minimize Alignment
176
System Integration & Test (2)
Integration and Alignment Plan Sub-systems are assumed to have been “pre-tested” and to have
their optics aligned (if required); system test is therefore primarily a test of the instrument as a whole and not of functionality of individual mechanisms.
Testing vacuum and thermal systems is carried out in two stages and precedes testing of the complete instrument in order to isolate any problems in these areas as early as possible.
Assembly and warm test of the bench with mechanisms provides access for diagnosis. It includes testing for light leaks.
Final integration and cold testing covers full instrument functionality (partial for OIWFS).
