===== Optimizing Scan Strategy ===== **A/I** : Shaul to make table of physical constraints on scan parameters (alpha, beta, precession and spin rates, L2 orbit radius, sampling rate) ^ Parameter ^ Value ^ notes ^ | L2 orbit radius | ? | what do we need | | alpha (Precession angle) | 30 | (need to finalize with JPL) | | beta (boresight to spin angle) | 65 | (need to finalize with JPL) | | Precession period | 10 hours | | | spin period | 1 minute | | | HWP period | n/a | | | Detector sample rate | 1 ms | | | Noise 1/f | 10 mHz | check with sys group | | Noise power index | 1 | check with sys group | **A/I**: Jacques to make table of metrics and properties by which to evaluate scan options: available [[https://docs.google.com/document/d/1zASZ8k4Sy9Lu-6UfxwuZqaIt1HpLwYzGJw9l7QvsthE/edit | here]]
