Total and Spectral Solar Irradiance Sensor (TSIS-1)

ЦитироватьThe Total and Spectral Solar Irradiance Sensor (TSIS-1), first sel ected in 1998 for the National Polar-orbiting Operational Environmental Satellite System (NPOESS), re-manifested in 2010 on the NOAA-NASA Joint Polar Satellite System (JPSS), then the NOAA Polar Free Flyer, is now scheduled to launch to the International Space Station in November 2017.

TSIS-1 will acquire measurements of total and spectral solar irradiance (TSI and SSI, respectively). TSI is required for establishing Earth's total energy input while SSI is needed to understand how the atmosphere responds to changes in the sun's output. Solar irradiance is one of the longest and most fundamental of all climate data records derived from space-based observations.

Спойлер
TSIS-1 provides continuation of the Total Irradiance Monitor (TIM) and the Spectral Irradiance Monitor (SIM), currently flying on the NASA Solar Radiation and Climate Experiment (SORCE). Launched in 2003, SORCE is now more than six years beyond its prime-mission lifetime. The launch failure of the NASA Glory mission in 2011, coupled with diminished battery capacity on SORCE and delays in the launch of TSIS-1 have put the continuous 38-year TSI record at risk. In 2012, a plan to maintain continuity of the TSI calibration scale between SORCE and TSIS-1 was rapidly implemented through the USAF Space Test Program STPSat-3 that launched in late 2013. The shorter SSI record faces a likely gap between SORCE and TSIS-1.

Highly accurate, stable, and continuous observations of solar irradiance are critical to understanding the present climate epoch and for predicting future climate.

TSIS-1 is a dual-instrument package that will acquire solar irradiance measurements from the International Space Station over a nominal period of five years. TSIS-1 has been identified as providing critical data in determining the natural forcings of the climate system and will ensure the continuity of the solar irradiance Climate Data Record (CDR).

TSIS-1 is comprised of the Total Irradiance Monitor, or TIM, which measures the total solar irradiance (TSI) that is incident at the outer boundaries of the atmosphere; and the Spectral Irradiance Monitor, or SIM, which measures solar spectral irradiance (SSI) fr om 200 nm to 2400 nm (96 percent of the TSI). The TSIS-1 TIM and SIM are heritage instruments to those currently flying on the SORCE satellite. Both were selected as part of TSIS-1 because of their unprecedented measurement accuracy and stability, and because both measurements are essential to constraining the energy input to the climate system and interpreting the response of climate to external forcing. TSIS-1 is required in order to continue the 38-year record of TSI, extend the newer 14-year record of SSI, and insure the stewardship of the solar irradiance Climate Data Record into the future.

According to information recently obtained by NASASpaceflight.com and available on L2, NASA has completed a technical review for reuse with successful results limited to the second flight of a booster that flew a LEO mission.

ЦитироватьSpaceX adds mystery "Zuma" mission, Iridium-4 aims for Vandenberg landing
October 16, 2017 by Chris Gebhardt

In what has already been a busy year for SpaceX, the commercial launch provider is adding one more mission to its jammed-packed end-of-year schedule. A mysterious mission codenamed "Zuma" will launch No Earlier Than 10 November 2017 from LC-39A at the Kennedy Space Center. Meanwhile, CRS-13 is slipping at least one week per the Station's schedule, and the Iridium NEXT-4 mission from Vandenberg has received permission to debut RTLS landing of the Falcon 9 booster back at SLC-4W.

...

While nothing is known of the payload, what is known is that Zuma will use Falcon 9 core B1043 – a brand new core that was originally (as understood by NASASpaceflight.com) intended for the CRS-13/Dragon mission.

However, a brand-new booster might not be needed for CRS-13.  With Falcon 9 first stage reuse proving highly successful in its first two flights by August, NASA – as confirmed in a press conference following the CRS-12 launch – was actively investigating and reviewing data toward approving a future CRS launch on a flight-proven Falcon 9.

According to information recently obtained by NASASpaceflight.com and available on L2, NASA has completed a technical review for reuse with successful results limited to the second flight of a booster that flew a LEO mission.



This means that from NASA's technical review standpoint, all engineering considerations for Falcon 9 reuse meet the agency's strict safety standards and that nothing from a technical/engineering standpoint would stop a future CRS mission from launching on a once-flown Falcon 9 booster that lofted a payload to Low Earth Orbit (LEO).

The information adds that approvals are in management review but may not occur in time for SpX-13.

However, CRS-13 is understood to be slipping about one week from its NET 28 November date into early December per the International Space Station's schedule – affording additional time for NASA management to approve CRS-13's launch on a flight-proven Falcon 9.

A public decision on CRS-13's booster is expected from NASA by early November.

While the exact booster is not yet known, there is significant potential that Iridium NEXT-4 will use the Iridium NEXT-2 booster, which would make Iridium the first company to reuse the same booster for two of its missions. 
Iridium NEXT-2 launched on 25 June 2017. Its first stage, core B1036, then successfully executed a landing on the ASDS (Autonomous Spaceport Drone Ship) Just Read The Instructions.
Маск наверняка захочет для CRS-13 использовать ступень Блок III.
Если В1036 ушла на Ирридиумы-4, то из Блок III остаётся B1038 от FormSat-5 и В1035 от CRS-11.
Думаю, полетит последний вариант.

ЦитироватьIf NASA approves such use for CRS missions in time for CRS-13's flow, it has been confirmed by sources that the CRS-11 booster (B1035) will again be used to launch Dragon to the ISS.

NASA Invites Media to Upcoming Space Station Cargo Launch


The Canadarm2 robotic arm grapples the SpaceX Dragon Commercial Resupply Services-6 cargo spacecraft before attaching it to the International Space Station. NASA is targeting no earlier than December for the company's 13th cargo mission to the space station, using the refurbished Dragon capsule from the CRS-6 mission.

Media accreditation is open for launch of the next SpaceX commercial cargo resupply services mission to the International Space Station, currently targeted for no earlier than December.

The uncrewed Dragon cargo spacecraft, which was flown on SpaceX's sixth commercial resupply mission to station for NASA, will launch on a Falcon 9 rocket. The launch will be the first this year from Space Launch Complex 40 at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station (CCAFS) in Florida.

This is the 13th SpaceX mission under NASA's Commercial Resupply Services contract. In addition to supplies and equipment, Dragon will deliver several science investigations to the space station, including a NASA instrument called Total and Spectral Solar Irradiance Sensor, or TSIS-1, which will measure the Sun's energy input to Earth, and a fiber optic payload. Also manifested on this flight is an investigation sponsored by the Center for the Advancement of Science in Space known as Biorasis – Glucose Biosensor, which seeks to improve the accuracy of a wireless medically implantable continuous glucose biosensor for day-to-day diabetes management.

The International Space Station is a convergence of science, technology and human innovation that demonstrates new technologies and makes research breakthroughs not possible on Earth. The space station has been occupied continuously since November 2000. In that time, more than 200 people and a variety of international and commercial spacecraft have visited the orbiting laboratory. The space station remains the springboard to NASA's next great leap in exploration, including future missions to Mars.

A quick note to say NASA PAO remain in the stance of "not official" on the Falcon 9 reuse for CRS. We're confident they've approved it, but until Gerst says it, or there's a NASA media release.... Those are the rules, so noting it.

NASA's Dan Hartman: "Chances are" we'll agree with SpaceX to fly reused Falcon 9 booster on CRS-13 cargo flight to station in December. Still awaiting final readiness review and assessments.

- Было ли какое-либо сомнение, что NASA пойдет с проверенным ядром для этого?
- Не было никаких сомнений в том, что НАСА в конечном итоге перейдет к ним, вопрос в том, будут ли документы оформлены вовремя для этого конкретного запуска.
- Ну, технически он до сих пор не был официально подтвержден НАСА, но, согласно NSF, это в значительной степени сделано.
