Description
MOSAIC is the Multi-Object Spectrograph for the ESO
Extremely Large Telescope. The Laboratoire
d’Astrophysique de Marseille (LAM) is in charge of the
instrument “Assembly, Integration, Test and Verification
(AIT/V)” phases, both in Europe and in Chile, due to its
integration facilities, state-of-the-art equipment and a
permanent staff of highly skilled experts with long
experience in leading AIT/V activities for different
instruments. AITV for AO instruments, in laboratory as at
the telescope, always represent numerous technical
challenges. We already started the preparation and
planning for the instrument level AIT activities, from
identification of needs, challenges, risks, to defining the
optimal AIT strategy. In this work, we discuss our PAE test
strategy with two main options:
• “Full instrument integration and test”, including
some variations depending on the test location.
• “Distributed AIT approach”, using different
European sites and AIT facilities.
