Potential Italian contributions toWFI

The rationale• The primary Italian contribution to mission elements is
XIFU• Other smaller contributions include participation to
mirror and Ground Segment activities. • This approach has been consistently presented to ASI and
properly ackwnoledged by the agency• Credible approach for WFI contributions: limited and
harmonized with present commitments on XIFU. • For WFI we propose activities that are carried out by the
Italian consortium on XIFU and that can be – with a reasonable delta effort – developed for WFI

• ISO Long Wavelegth Spectrometer DPU and on board s/w (IAPS, Laben) • Herschel Instruments DPUs and instrument control software (IAPS,CGS)
- A single provider for all the three scientific instruments onboard one single interface with the S/C CDMU provider
•Euclid VIS CDPU and instrument control and data s/w (IAPS) and NISP ICU on board s/w (IASF-Bo, Oss.To, IAPS)- A single provider (INAF) for the two scientific instruments onboard one single interface
with the S/C CDMU provider
• Expertize with the main standards ICU items:– for SW design and development (UML, MISRA)– main space qualified processors ( DSP21020 (Herschel), LEON3FT (Euclid and SPICA), PowerPC
750FX (Euclid))
– SpaceWire networks (Euclid and SPICA)– ESA ECSS standards and procedures– CCSDS standard lossless compression algorithms implementation and optimisation (Euclid)

Possibility to implement onboard Athena+ the same “effective and successful” configuration adopted for Herschel and Euclid
one single On Board Software provider (INAF) for both scientific payload instruments
one single interface between ESA, Prime and Instruments Consortia for S/C data interface matters (protocol definition, SW interface implementation and testing)
A centralised expertise for the on board science data processing
Best commonalities exploitation- design- procurement- testing
Benefit of the synergical approach

Simulations of XIFU• INAF consortium (led by IAPS with IASF-Pa and
Oss.Pa, with plans to include contributions from IASF-Bo and Oss. Roma) responsible for XIFU simulations. Need to fold various effects:
• L2 environment: CR and solar protons (analysis of particle monitor from Herschel and Planck)
• Various galactic and extragalactic X-ray components
• effect of soft protons through mirrors (with optics ray tracing) driving assessment of particle diverter
• GEANT simulation of detector and its environment driving instrument design

Benefit
• Beneficial in terms of optimization of resources if (some of) instrument simulations activities are carried out for the WFI as well.
• E.g.: Avoid duplication of same items: various components of L2 environment, GEANT model of the spacecraft
• Similar design solutions for further reduction of the residual particle background (shields, soft particle diverter,…)

Analysis of Planck/SREM data
* Data courtesy of Dr. Paul Buehler, Andrea Zacchei and Luis Mendes** (left) each bin is 1 day averaged. The decrease is consistent with the solar cycle that is going toward the max.***(right) each bin is 50 s.
We analyzed the data from the Solar Radiation Environment Monitor onboard of Planck (SREM) in the period 2009-2013, since it is in the same orbit ATHENA+ will be placed.
