MANAGEMENT AND OPERATING CONTRACT FOR THE OPERATION OF THE PRINCETON PLASMA PHYSICS LABORATORY (PPPL)
Department of Energy · $1,523,157,998 · Jan 31, 2009
INTERSTELLAR MAPPING AND ACCELERATION PROBE (IMAP) IS A WATERSHED MISSION THAT SIMULTANEOUSLY INVESTIGATES THE ACCELERATION OF ENERGETIC PARTICLES AND INTERACTION OF THE SOLAR WIND WITH THE LOCAL INTERSTELLAR MEDIUM. IMAP WILL 1) ADVANCE THE UNDERSTANDING OF THE TEMPORAL AND SPATIAL EVOLUTION OF THE BOUNDARY REGION IN WHICH THE SOLAR WIND AND INTERSTELLAR MEDIUM INTERACT, 2) IDENTIFY AND ADVANCE THE UNDERSTANDING OF PROCESSES RELATED TO THE INTERACTIONS OF THE MAGNETIC FIELD OF THE SUN AND THE LOCAL INTERSTELLAR MEDIUM, 3) IMPROVE THE UNDERSTANDING OF THE COMPOSITION AND PROPERTIES OF THE LOCAL INTERSTELLAR MEDIUM, AND 4) IDENTIFY AND ADVANCE THE UNDERSTANDING OF PARTICLE INJECTION AND ACCELERATION PROCESSES NEAR THE SUN, IN THE HELIOSPHERE AND HELIOSHEATH. IMAP IS BASED ON A COMPLETE AND SYNERGISTIC SET OF OBSERVATIONS. IN SITU AT 1AU, THIS REQUIRES DETAILED OBSERVATIONS OF THE SOLAR WIND ELECTRONS AND IONS SUPRATHERMAL, PICKUP, AND ENERGETIC ION POPULATIONS AND MAGNETIC FIELD. FOR THE OUTER HELIOSPHERE INTERACTION, IT REQUIRES ADVANCED GLOBAL OBSERVATIONS OF THE REMOTE PLASMA AND ENERGETIC IONS OVER A BROAD ENERGY RANGE VIA ENERGETIC NEUTRAL ATOM (ENA) IMAGING, AS WELL AS PRECISE OBSERVATION OF THE NEUTRAL INTERSTELLAR ATOMS PENETRATING THE HELIOSPHERE. COMPLEMENTARY OBSERVATIONS OF INTERSTELLAR DUST AND THE UV GLOW OF INTERSTELLAR NEUTRALS, WHILE NOT REQUIRED FOR THE THRESHOLD MISSION, ADD IMPORTANT CONTEXT AND INSIGHTS TO DEEPEN PHYSICAL UNDERSTANDING OF THE BASELINE MISSION. THESE OBSERVATIONAL NEEDS WILL REQUIRE AN INTEGRATED AND COORDINATED SUITE OF 10 INSTRUMENTS THAT SPAN BOTH THE IN SITU AND REMOTE IMAGING ASPECTS OF THE INVESTIGATION. AS THE PI INSTITUTION PRINCETON UNIVERSITY OVERSEES THE DEVELOPMENT OF IMAP TO ENSURE COST, RISK, AND SCIENCE OBJECTIVES ARE MET IN THE CONTEXT OF AN OVERALL PLAN TO DEVELOP, INTEGRATE, TEST, LAUNCH, COMMISSION, AND OPERATE THE IMAP MISSION. PRINCETON WILL DEVELOP THE SOLAR WIND AND PICKUP ION (SWAPI) INSTRUMENT, MANAGE THE MISSION SCIENCE TEAM, DEVELOP THE INTERSTELLAR DUST EXPERIMENT (IDEX) INSTRUMENT DATA PIPELINE, INITIATE THE FUTURE LEADERS PROGRAM, AND OVERSEE THE MISSION STUDENT COLLABORATION.

PERFORM TRADE STUDIES TO ELIMINATE AND MITIGATE RISKS G. DELIVER THE IBEX FLIGHT SEGMENT TO VANDENBERG AIR FORCE BASE (VAFB), SUPPORT INTEGRATION WITH THE LAUNCH VEHICLE, AND ASSIST THE LAUNCH OPERATIONS H. ESTABLISH THE MISSION CONTROL CENTER (MCC) AND IBEX SCIENCE OPERATIONS AND DATA ANALYSIS CENTER (ISOC) INCLUDING ALL COMPUTERS, NETWORKS, AND OPERATING SOFTWARE, INSTRUMENT DATABASES AND PROCEDURES NECESSARY TO FUNCTIONALLY TEST AND LATER CONTROL THE SPACECRAFT I. HOLD SCIENCE TEAM MEETINGS AS WELL AS TECHNICAL INTERCHANGE MEETINGS. J. BASELINE THE SCIENCE REQUIREMENTS AND SCIENCE ANALYSIS PLAN INTO AN IBEX MISSION DEFINITION REQUIREMENTS AGREEMENT (MDRA) AND THE IBEX DATA MANAGEMENT PLAN. K. IMPLEMENT AN APPROVED MISSION ASSURANCE PLAN. L. IMPLEMENT A SYSTEMS ENGINEERING FUNCTION TO VERIFY PERFORMANCE SPECIFICATION COMPLIANCE TO THE MISSION SCIENCE REQUIREMENTS. M. DESIGN, FABRICATE, INTEGRATE AND TEST THE PAYLOAD, SPACECRAFT, SOLID ROCKET MOTOR AND LAUNCH VEHICLE ADAPTER, AND INTEGRATE THE IBEX FLIGHT SEGMENT WITH THE LAUNCH VEHICLE. N. IMPLEMENT A SAFETY PROGRAM INCLUDING THE GENERATION OF THE MISSILE SYSTEM PRE-LAUNCH SAFETY PACKAGE (MSPSP). O. SUPPORT LAUNCH, PERFORM ON-ORBIT CHECKOUT, AND ESTABLISH ON-ORBIT DATA ACQUISITION CONTACT WITH THE PAYLOAD. WITHIN THE FIRST 30 DAYS AFTER LAUNCH, INITIAL ENGINEERING AND SCIENCE CHECKOUT AND VERIFICATION OF SPACECRAFT IN-FLIGHT OPERATION WILL BE PERFORMED. P. PROVIDE THE SERVICES OF THE MCC AND THE ISOC. Q. CONDUCT THE E/PO PROGRAM IN COOPERATION WITH THE IDENTIFIED TEAM MEMBERS.
