Telescope and Sensor Interface Preliminary Requirements Report for the Ports Chamber

Abstract

This report describes the interface requirements between the PORTS chamber and the LATS telescope or sensor. We have conceptually designed at LATS interface chamber which provides the mechanical interface needed between the LATS sensor and the PORTS chamber. The LATS interface provides alignment of the LATS sensor with the PORTS optical center line and then translates the sensor into the cryogenically cooled optical bench for testing. Also, the interface chamber allows the LATS sensor to be accessed without breaking the PORTS chamber vacuum. Under test configuration the LATS sensor will be placed in a high vacuum cryogenic environment inside of the PORTS chamber. While under test the LATS sensor will be cryogenically cooled and thermally isolated from the rest of the PORTS chamber.
