Title: MUSE%20KO:%20MUSE%20Support%20at%20ESO%20


1
MUSE KO MUSE Support at ESO customer

• MUSE Team Created (ESO-customer), contacts with
  the Consortium and support activities on-going
• Budget and Manpower in the ESO Long Range Plan
• SoW and Tec Spec advanced, several iterations
  took place, within ESO and with the
  Consortium
• Reflective Slicer Prototypes contract (130 K)
  agreed, supporting the project until contract
  signature
• Reporting to ESO management, governing bodies

MUSE KO PHASE A Follow-up (Management)

1) Missing Manpower, Staffing ??? Collaboration
with LAOMP ? National agency support ? ??? New
Key-Personnel ensured (e.g. System Engineer) ?
Relatively high turnover 2) Contain the
Budget ??? Reflective Image Slicer ? Review of
some requirements pending (e.g. Cal Unit, AI _at_
PDR) 3) Product Assurance ??? WP created,
responsible individuated, staff trained

Muse KO Phase A Action Items (Consortium)
AI19) Identify Responsible VPHG work
(closed) AI21) Identify how PA activities will
be carried out (closed) AI22, AI23) Prepare
consolidate and manpower budget (closed)
8 AI to be closed within the next months! E.G.
Space (Electronics on Platform), Specs of
detector system, NFM error budget, case for
back focal distance..

MUSE KO Phase A Action Items (ESO)
AI25) Add requirements on data analysis in Tec
Spec (Closed) AI26) Specify minimum instrument
throughput in Tec Spec (Closed
values not yet agreed by Consortium) AI27)
Include in TecSpec specs access around the
Instrument (Closed) 2 Important AI to be
closed in the next months (increase of VLT back
focal distance, platform vibrations) some work
is started AI30) Review AOLGS pending (see
Hubin presentation)

MUSE KO Strategic Risk
The MUSE project is strictly connected to two RD
projects AO Deformable Secondary and development
of new lasers While an AO-assisted MUSE is
clearly the baseline option and ESO will make all
reasonable efforts to fulfill this task, a non
negligible risk exists that one of these
developments cannot be completed and MUSE will
have no AO system The MUSE Consortium should
consider this scenario, and fully develop a
strategy which takes it into account (science
cases, review of top instrumental
characteristics...)

6
MUSE KO Next Milestone
PDR In addition to usual analysis a number of
AI have been stressed at Phase A Review
(Stability during operations, Thermal power
budget, Enclosure Integration Plan Europe and
Chile, Maintenance concept..) Image Slicer
Prototypes fully tested and evaluated, all
critical items assessed.
