Ball TEMPO Program Status Ø Instrument design is maturing with CDR in June 2015 • Performance estimates have been updated based on design maturity • Updating performance estimates with expected “as manufactured” performance. • Instrument performance TIM held May 12, 2015 Ø At NASA KDP-C Instrument cost risk was perceived to be too high • Ball agreed to convert contract from Cost Reimbursable to Fixed Price • SAO, La. RC and Ball to continue to work together to control and avoid costs • Project is still cost-capped Ø Ball participated in Host Accommodation Study • Multiple options for hosting TEMPO on commercial comm sats • Timing of launch opportunities poses some risk of delay for TEMPO mission 5/21/2014 2

SNR Ø The TEMPO radiometric model has undergone several changes since PDR, including: ü Updates to coverage time calculation. ü Increased the frame transfer time from 4. 17 ms to 8. 33 ms to mitigate CCD current spike issues. ü Updates were made to “Contamination and Radiation” tab based on updated contamination estimates. ü Updated the number of worst-case pixel transfers. ü Updated “Stray Light” tab to use the results of the broadband stray light analysis. ü Updated, Pixel saturation, Pixel photon shot noise, Smear noise, CTE noise to properly account for stray light ü Updated Detector full well, read noise and CTE values ü Updated all optical elements with predicted performance curves from the optics suppliers ü Added input “Slit Curvature” and calculate the additional steps needed to compensate for slit curvature effects. These additional steps are added onto the total number of steps needed for compliance in the absence of slit curvature effects. Ø SNR estimates assume the TEMPO EOL CTE as called out in the TEMPO FPS specification 5/21/2014 9

CCD Technical Challenges Ø Measurements of TEMPO Lot 1 CCD Charge Transfer Efficiency (CTE) are below expectations • CTE measurements indicated that regions with low signal levels would have very poor charge transfer efficiency • Science implications: data quality at short wavelengths would be compromised • • Collaboration between BATC detector experts and Dalsa have identified the most likely root cause Two mitigation steps were taken • Lot 3 B design – eliminate the areas with the 3 -poly overlap, which is where the low CTE was observed • Lot 4 A design – eliminate one poly layer altogether to create a 2 -poly device • Lot 3 B and Lot 4 A devices are in-house and CTE measurements are in-process Ø Measurements of TEMPO Lot 1 CCD dark current rates are below expectations • Measured dark current rates are 5 -10 x higher than initially expected • Science implications: reduced SNR performance (primarily at shorter wavelengths), larger dark current correction errors for on-orbit operations • • 5/21/2014 Collaboration between BATC detector experts and ITL have led to deeper understanding of the sources of dark current in the Lot 1 CCDs Several mitigation steps are being explored • There will be some capability to run the CCDs slightly colder on-orbit • Changes to the FPE could result in a small (~20%) reduction in CCD dark current • ITL is investigating their process to reduce dark current 10

SNR Requirements vs Performance: Two Scenarios Ø SNR performance is shown here for two scenarios: • “CDR SNR” = TEMPO SNR with FPS specification dark current • “Worst-Case” = TEMPO SNR with worst-case measured dark current and the minimum specified system throughput Ø Both SNR scenarios have CCD temperature at -17° C Ø Both SNR scenarios have a coverage time = 59. 1 minutes 5/21/2014 82% Worst-case Dark current SNR 19. 0 Worst-case Dark current SNR Margin -3% 83 79% 45. 5 -1% 161. 9 257 59% 165. 6 2% 310 377 546 45% 405. 1 7% 320 1220 1623 33% 1394. 6 14% 330 2003 2629 31% 2323. 4 16% 340 2013 2613 30% 2338. 1 16% 350 1414 2427 72% 2209. 8 56% 420 836 1893 126% 1636. 6 96% 430 675 1503 123% 1306. 8 94% 450 733 1521 108% 1416. 2 93% 490 1176 1395 19% 1294. 2 10% 540 1109 1374 24% 1225. 5 11% 600 987 1237 25% 1091. 6 11% 650 898 1137 27% 995. 2 11% 690 820 965 18% 903. 9 10% Wvl (nm) EV SNR Reqmt CDR SNR CDR Margin 290 19. 6 36 300 46. 1 305 11

Summary Ø Instrument approach: CDR • EDU hardware completed • Flight hardware being manufactured Ø Performance estimates show compliance, with one exception • 3 rd order alignment knowledge compliance has some challenges • Working at instrument level to bring into compliance • Mission-level INR performance still has >15% margin, despite instrumentlevel compliance status • Instrument has contingency over all other requirements to ensure compliance of as built hardware • Program is working through technical challenges • Detector charge transfer efficiency • Detector dark current Ø Communicate early and often with NASA La. RC and SAO • Team works together to mitigate risk and avoid cost 5/21/2014 15
