| may
be able to modify existing SMHF28XXX/HR parts by opening them, removing
the TC4426 and replacing it with a new part. Then the hybrids would
be resealed with an epoxy lid and undergo abbreviated requalification.
This process would result in a four-week delivery time for usable,
rad safe converters. SORCE could also procure new, fully qualified,
hermetic parts from Interpoint, but this process will require 8
weeks minimum to deliver parts. The soft start circuit modification
would still be employed with either of the two options. Final resolution
of the situation is progressing.
SORCE
Science
Gary Rottman, SORCE PI traveled to Hanoi, Vietnam and attended
the IAGA Session on Solar Variability August 2001. Dr. Rottman
gave a talk titled, "Measurement of Solar Irradiance During
the Past Two Solar Cycles". The International Association
of Geomagnetism and Aeronomy (IAGA) is one of the 7 Associations
in the International Union of Geodesy and Geophysics (IUGG).
Meetings
SORCE scientists and engineers plan to present papers and attend
the following upcoming 2001 meetings:
- "Gyroless" Discussion at GSFC September 20, 2001
